Crash in MixpanelAPI.getInstance

[tallior]

We started seeing this crash with out latest release (that uses Mixpanel SDK v5.8.0).
Seems to be related to the deprecation of the InstallReferrer intent.

Caused by java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service not registered: com.android.installreferrer.api.InstallReferrerClientImpl$InstallReferrerServiceConnection@1276263 at android.app.LoadedApk.forgetServiceDispatcher(LoadedApk.java:1680) at android.app.ContextImpl.unbindService(ContextImpl.java:1781) at android.content.ContextWrapper.unbindService(ContextWrapper.java:730) at com.android.installreferrer.api.InstallReferrerClientImpl.endConnection(InstallReferrerClientImpl.java:170) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.InstallReferrerPlay.disconnect(InstallReferrerPlay.java:155) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.InstallReferrerPlay.onInstallReferrerSetupFinished(InstallReferrerPlay.java:120) at com.android.installreferrer.api.InstallReferrerClientImpl.startConnection(InstallReferrerClientImpl.java:154) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.InstallReferrerPlay.connect(InstallReferrerPlay.java:132) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.<init>(MixpanelAPI.java:388) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.<init>(MixpanelAPI.java:320) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.getInstance(MixpanelAPI.java:582) at com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.getInstance(MixpanelAPI.java:468) at com.moon.coinmaster.android.GameActivity.onCreate(GameActivity.java:94) at android.app.Activity.performCreate(Activity.java:7327) at android.app.Activity.performCreate(Activity.java:7318) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1275) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3101) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:3264) at android.app.servertransaction.LaunchActivityItem.execute(LaunchActivityItem.java:78) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.executeCallbacks(TransactionExecutor.java:108) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.execute(TransactionExecutor.java:68) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1955) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:106) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:214) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:7078) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(RuntimeInit.java:494) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:964)

Happens on different device models and OS versions.

Hi @tallior ! what's the exception that is thrown? Is it an IllegalArgumentException? Would be great to see the entire stack trace.
What installreferrer version are you using?

[tallior]

@patedit updated with the full stack trace.

[patedit]

And what installreferrer version are you using?

[tallior]

@patedit our Unity project includes this file: installreferrer-1.0
I believe it is not the "updated" install referrer library (after the recent deprecation).

Could that be the reason for crash ?

[patedit]

It seems to be the case, could you upgrade it to 1.1 and see if it works? Thanks!

[Huulivoide]

installreferrer v1.1 is not really a option because of the associated permission problems https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59263642/install-referrer-library-v1-1-adds-permissions.

Any update on this issue? I'm experiencing same crashes. When do you plan to release the fix?

[patedit]

Fix has been merged to master. I will cut a release later today :)

[pawelnuzka]

@patedit Could you please make a release? This is #1 crash we get in the app.

[patedit]

Release is out! Thanks for your patience 🙏
