Won't start on Android KitKat using ART runtime

[jackbenny]

Agit works just fine in KitKat on Nexus 4 using the default Dalvik runtime, but not when switching to ART. I don't know if this is to be classified as a bug or not, since ART is still experimental.

Thanks for reporting this @jackbenny - I was able to reproduce it on my Nexus 5 (logcat below).

It's kind of interesting to me that -in my case at least - the Agit managed to start up, but died after identifying available repos. The stacktrace might indicate that there's something going wrong with the async stuff.

Unfortunately it looks like there's quite a few bugs with ART at the moment, so for the short term I won't be devoting a lot of effort to getting Agit to work under it. There's a chance that some of the possible upcoming refactorings (for instance, using Rx) might incidentally fix this problem. I'll leave the bug open, and review it after ART has had some time to mature.

Thanks for your very quick reply! Yes, it's the same for me, I can see Agit starting up, but right after it dies. I forgot to mention this in the issue. I should really learn to use the Development tools so I can attach logcat outputs aswell. Yeah I've seen some reports that things are still a bit buggy in ART.

Just wanted to let you know that I tried Agit today on Android 4.4.2 using ART, and still no go I'm afraid. I don't know what's updated in ART since 4.4.2 though.
