@meticoeus that's impossible. If the app crashes there will be a stack trace. Also, you are not giving me a reproduction scenario here so it's really hard to debug your problem.

[meticoeus]

Same reproduction scenario as the original post. Update from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1 or 1.7.2.

When running adb logcat at the time that the app crashes, no crash information appears to added to the log. I am connecting the device to usb and running adb logcat > logfile.txt before opening the app.

@meticoeus if the Android crash dialog pops up then once you click OK there will be a stack trace generated. Also, I'm not sure what you are doing to reproduce the issue. Is you code calling init or hasPermisson? Give me something to go on here.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay. I was trying to get the logcat error crash as requested, when I noticed I had some Android SDK updates pending. The SDK versions installed on my machine are:

Android SDK Tools: 25.1.7
Android SDK Platform-tools 24

API 22 SDK Platform 2

Android Support Repository 33
Android Support Library 23.2.1

After the update I changed the plugin version to 1.7.2 and the crash was gone.

Does this make sense?
Does the plugin have any specific dependencies with the updated sdks?

@meticoeus do you have any pending sdk updates?

[macdonst]

@eduboxgithub Yes, this makes complete sense. I suspect this is the same root cause as #909 and it has been fixed with an update from Google.

[meticoeus]

I am using Phonegap Build service to perform builds so I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

[macdonst]

@meticoeus as asked the build team to update the Android build boxes yesterday. Today is a national holiday in Canada so it may not happen immediately.

[meticoeus]

When they update I'll try to build again with 1.7.2 and see if that fixes it. If not, I'll look for the cause more aggressively.
