App crash after Android Studio 2.1.1 update

[Jojr]

App crash when compiled with last version of Android Studio 2.1.1

I just update the Android Studio, then the trouble starts.
No crashes if no calls to function.

Same code of before, just run a new compilation

document.addEventListener("deviceready",pushFunc,false);

        function pushFunc(){
                console.log("Device Ready")

                var push = PushNotification.init({
                    android: {
                        senderID: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
                    },
                    ios: {
                        alert: "true",
                        badge: "true",
                        sound: "true"
                    },
                    windows: {}
                });

                push.on('registration', function(data) {
                    // data.registrationId
                    console.log(data.registrationId);
                    alert(data.registrationId);
                });
    push.on('error', function(e) {
            console.log(e.message);
            });
        }

ADB logcat:

Steps to Reproduce

Android 4.1.2

Motorola Razr i (XT890)

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

cordova --version      6.1.1
cordova platform version android        5.1.1

Plugin version 1.6.3

[zimski]

I got the same error, exactly the same behaviour

cordova version 5.0.0
android platforms 4.0.0

Hi,

I fixed the issue by removing the support of v4 in app/platforms/android/project.properties
Line to remove

cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:+

this file in my case already contains an other version of support

cordova.system.library.3=com.android.support:support-v13:23+

I think the v4 is deprecated for the latest version of service-gcm
The app starts correctly and the register is OK.

If some one can help and explain to me how the project.properties is generated/update ? this will allow us to fix this issue in a cleaner way.

[Jojr]

Thank you by your emergency solution!

This works in my app now.

Is project.properties file generated by Cordova?
If is true, maybe Cordova needs an update to fix this.

Duplicate of #909 but thanks for the detailed logs.

I've managed to "downgrade" android suport-v4 lib to 23.* version with following steps:
1.removing 24.* folders from [android-sdk-location]/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4
2. removing tags for 24.* versions from [android-sdk-location]/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/maven-metadata.xml
3. update tag in [android-sdk-location]/extras/android/m2repository/com/android/support/support-v4/maven-metadata.xml to latest 23.* version

After these steps I've clean android build folder and build project again. It works fine after these steps.

[macdonst]

@gorancn can you post this in #909 for other folks to find easier?

[gorancn]

Sure

[jakubskopal]

I also managed to force downgrading the library by adding the following build-extras.gradle into platforms/android:

configurations.compile {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.4.0';
}
}
