Description

New: 1.create a simple app with 1.8.0 2.run it in the emulator 3.install to device 4.eyeball device results:app crashes on launch OLD steps: Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a titanium mobile project for android using TiMob: 1.8.0.v20110819142548 2. Add following to tiapp.xml within and tags which would look something like this: http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 3. Build and run it on Android Emulator. 4. Install it on Android device. (It works on Android Emulator though.) 5. Try to run the application. 6. It would say. sorry, app quits unexpectedly. (Note: I runs properly if we directly install it on device without running it in Emulator) adb logcat output is pasted below. Note: If you create the mobile with TiMob 1.7.2 and follow above from steps2 to step6, application would run properly. Also, if you first create the project with TiMob 1.7.2 and then change it to TiMob 1.8.0.v20110819142548 from tiapp.xml, and then repeat the steps from step2 to step6, it will again run properly.

    Also encountering it with just a new project on 10.6.8 with 1.8.0.v20110906155354 1. Create project 2. Run on emulator 3. Run on device See the same errors as the log above
  2. Eric Merriman 2011-09-09

    I ran through the steps and when it failed, I grabbed the folder. I then cleaned and tried again without launching simulator first. I ran a diff on the folders and it looks like there are some differences that might be a factor. See attached txt file.

    was - Android: tag does not let application launch on Android device, rewritten to describe behavior
  4. Bill Dawson 2011-10-04

    While I'm working on this, i just want to be sure everybody knows the workaround is to do Project -> Clean from inside Studio before building for device. If you're not using Studio, you can "touch" the tiapp.xml file to get it to work.
