After the last update of Nightly version it completely stopped working.

[NotMainstream]

After the last update of Brave Nightly on Android it completely stopped working. Every time I click on Brave icon the browser appears and then disappears after 2 seconds. I looked through the logs but could not see anything relevant. Please check it out.

Some Copilot suggestions:

The crash report you provided indicates that the crash occurred in the com.brave.browser_nightly package of the Brave browser's nightly build. The crash seems to be related to a java.lang.SecurityException and a android.os.RemoteException that were thrown during the execution of the application.

The key part of the error message is:

java.lang.SecurityException: com.brave.browser_nightly: One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts

This exception is thrown when an application tries to register a broadcast receiver in its manifest file without specifying whether the receiver is exported (can be called by other apps) or not exported (cannot be called by other apps).

The second part of the crash report indicates that the crash was caused by a android.os.RemoteException. This exception is thrown when a RemoteException is encountered during the execution of a remote procedure call (RPC).

The key part of the error message is:

android.os.RemoteException: Remote stack trace:
	at com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.registerReceiverWithFeature(ActivityManagerService.java:14425)
	at android.app.IActivityManager$Stub.onTransact(IActivityManager.java:2623)
	at com.android.server.am.ActivityManagerService.onTransact(ActivityManagerService.java:2802)
	at android.os.Binder.execTransactInternal(Binder.java:1525)
	at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:1464)

This indicates that the registerReceiverWithFeature method in the ActivityManagerService class caused the RemoteException. This method is part of the Android operating system's internal APIs and is used to register a broadcast receiver.

To debug this issue, you would need to look into the specific code where the registerReceiverWithFeature method is called and ensure that for each receiver declared in the manifest file, either RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED is specified. It's also recommended to check the inter-process communication between your application and the Android system services.

Please note that this is a high-level analysis based on the information provided in the crash report. For a more detailed analysis, you may need to look into the specific code where the exception is thrown. It's also recommended to test the application thoroughly after making any changes to ensure that the issue is resolved and no new issues are introduced. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the Brave browser's support or developer community for more specific guidance.

After the last update it started to work again. Thanks a lot !

Closing as this should be solved. Can you confirm also, @Wyckoffan?

[Wyckoffan]

Yes, I confirm as well the issue being solved with the latest update.
