I am wondering if this also happens with currnet versions of the SDK, like 7.1.0.GA. [~ybanev] did you see this before?
Yordan Banev 2018-03-29

Doesn't ring any bell. [~sonufana4u] Any details you can share - code snippet you are suspecting, device, Android version ?
sonufana4u 2018-03-30

Right now i don't have any info with me but i'll try to share as much as info i could collect.

Hi Mostafizur, I didn't get much info but this is happening on Android 7 & Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy S8.Check at your end and let me know if it helps to identify the issue.

Got same issue. Looks like it is not Titanium specific, but Android 7+. ([stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44840768/android-7-0-and-7-1-getapplication-classcastexception/46676931)) I think this should fix it:

I saw similar issues in my app using SDK 6.3.1. I have now patched the SDK to use this code: TiApplication ta = (TiApplication) getApplication(); if(null == ta) { Log.e("Error", "TiApplication null. Try to load instance..."); ta = TiApplication.getInstance(); } return ta; I cannot find a very to directly reproduce this - but I should know within a month or two whether it has removed this type of crashes by looking at the Google Play console. By the way I also checked the code in the lates SDK 7.4.1 - and it still uses: return (TiApplication) getApplication();

Please use "preview" button (blue button with 3 stripes below comment block). You've just produced over 10 emails. Strip spaces before/after braces: { code:java }CODE HERE{ code }
Sergey Volkov 2018-11-07

So, this does not help: - return (TiApplication) getApplication(); + return TiApplication.getInstance(); Now I got NullPointerExceptions, because somehow there is no TiApplication instance at the moment when TiRootActivity.onCreate executed. As before reports are coming only from Android 7.0 (and some 7.1) and I still have no idea how to reproduce it localy.

This is not resolved. Got the same crash on Huawei Mate 10 Pro with Android 9: {noformat} java.lang.RuntimeException: at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity (ActivityThread.java:3300) at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity (ActivityThread.java:3484) at android.app.servertransaction.LaunchActivityItem.execute (LaunchActivityItem.java:86) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.executeCallbacks (TransactionExecutor.java:108) at android.app.servertransaction.TransactionExecutor.execute (TransactionExecutor.java:68) at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage (ActivityThread.java:2123) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage (Handler.java:109) at android.os.Looper.loop (Looper.java:207) at android.app.ActivityThread.main (ActivityThread.java:7470) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke (Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run (RuntimeInit.java:524) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main (ZygoteInit.java:958) Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: at org.appcelerator.titanium.TiBaseActivity.getTiApp (TiBaseActivity.java:308) at org.appcelerator.titanium.TiRootActivity.onCreate (TiRootActivity.java:80) at android.app.Activity.performCreate (Activity.java:7436) at android.app.Activity.performCreate (Activity.java:7426) at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate (Instrumentation.java:1286) at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity (ActivityThread.java:3279) {noformat}
