App crashes upon start.

[OlivierS1]

Actual behaviour

• Tell us what happens.
  Since update to what seems to be NC 3.7.0.RC2, NC is crashing upon start. I have no way to connect to my servers using the app, and update from my phone obviously cannot be performed.
  I wish there was a way to revert to a state prior to this update.
  In a nutshell, I am in dead water.
  I am thinking, that maybe I should pull out of the Beta testing program if no fall back options is made available.

Expected behaviour

• Tell us what should happen.It should work. Nothing more simple than that.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start NC.

1. What happens if you reinstall the app from scratch? 2. Can you pls provide a stacktrace? Nextcloud staff is off for a long weekend (I guess judging from public holiday calendar), but I could maybe give it a look in the meantime.

My Nextcloud version: 3.6.2
In my device Android 7.1.1 when click in ENTER the app is closed.
In other device Android 8.1.0 Normal

[MeiRos]

Reinstalled my Nextcloud app RC. No help.
Crashing after drawing and after iris check.

Downloaded/installed 3.6.2 from F-Droid. It's working. Now I can go back to beta in the Play Store when I want to.

Same here on some of my devices:

NC 3.7.0.RC2 not working on

• HUAWEI Y6 2018 Android 8.0.0
• HUAWEI P8 LITE 2015 Android 6.0

Working on

• HUAWEI P SMART 2019 Android 9.0.1

Same for NC 3.7.0 RC3 - crashes upon start.

[AndyScherzinger]

@Wikinaut since there haven't been any logcats yet, are you able to provide one (and the corresponding stack trace) of the crash?

[Wikinaut]

@AndyScherzinger Sorry, I cannot provide you with logs. It happens on the above mentioned devices.

@AndyScherzinger, can you get ACRA PR against NC 3.7.0 RC3? That would allow users to actually generate a stack trace for us. No need to "release" - just QA build should do the trick.

[ezaquarii]

@emresaracoglu are you able to use ADB to dump the stack trace?

[emresaracoglu]

@ezaquarii Unfortunately, this is currently impossible. I haven't installed Android Studio after the format.

@ezaquarii sure thing: #4154 should do the trick

[ezaquarii]

@AndyScherzinger , splendid!

@emresaracoglu can you try to reproduce this problem with a build #4154 ?

There is a QR code with/and URL with a test APK - if you install it, it should launch an email composer with stacktrace when the app crashes. This way we can get to the bottom of the issue.

[ezaquarii]

@OlivierS1 @Wikinaut @MeiRos can you as well try to reproduce this problem with a build #4154 ?

[emresaracoglu]

@ezaquarii installed and tested it.

The application started without a crash 👍

[emresaracoglu]

I restarted the phone and the application crashed.
I sent you an e-mail to log.

@ezaquarii

[ezaquarii]

@emresaracoglu thank you. Your crashreport is most useful as it confirmed similarity to #4150.

[emresaracoglu]

Great @ezaquarii but the application crashes when touched to open the video.

[ezaquarii]

@emresaracoglu Thanks, the 2nd issue is fixed in a separate PR. I think we can ship them as one fix, instead of 2 separate. I'll make a new PR.

[ezaquarii]

@emresaracoglu @OlivierS1 @Claonilton @MeiRos @Wikinaut

We have a fix pending. I invite everybody to test it. QA build is available here: #4156 (comment)

[emresaracoglu]

The 9757.apk file is running great! Thank you for your contribution to this project @ezaquarii

Sorry, boys and girls, my trust level in your Android App is limited, and the lowest level has been reached.

It seems on my system it is still crashing.
I have been away and unable to follow up on this issue but I might be able to focus a bit on this the following few days.
So far, this is a NO GO! for me.
With QA installed, I am not able to send feedbacks.

One thing that have been troubling for me since I had to perform an uninstall of my Android app, is that I am no longer able to enable "App passcode". For some reason, when ever I try to set it up, I am asked for the password, and confirmation. But upon entering both without obvious difference, the "app password" is never activated.
To me it is a safety featutre that lacks safety status, however, I have notice this behavior on a Pixel phone and thought little of it at the time as there is fingerprint recognition at play, but i think something isn't quite right in the curernt state of the app.
I have been using the Beta for quite some time, and I haven't had to do a fresh install in a fairly long time, and I suspect, as a result of being a beta tester, I haven't gone through the hassle of starting evaluatinig the app from a fresh install property, then we it is my understanding we might be facing some issues that have been caused on fresh system long before.
Upgrading from one release to the next, just proves what ever is currently installed doesn't break. It doesn't mean a fresh install will behave the same.
I think there is an Intrinsic flaw in how beta testing is being performed.

I will be working off my laptop, which doesn't have Android studio installed. In the essence of time and simplicity,, can you give me the breaking down steps that will allow me to extract the log stack you request. If I have a no brainer process, I will be able to come with the results quite quickly, I would think.

PS. Sorry about my above spelling mistakes. I am just too exhausted.

@AndyScherzinger
What email address should I use to send the logcat to?

[AndyScherzinger]

I guess since @ezaquarii is looking into this matter : hello (at) ezaquarii dot com

[OlivierS1]

@AndyScherzinger, Thanks, I have sent two logcats to @ezaquarii one for the 3.7.0-RC2 or RC3 and NC-QA-9757.

[ezaquarii]

Youp, go ahead. I'll take a look.
