App crash on startup when loading "librealm-jni.so" file.

[yakitabrunet]

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

We've been running our application on many Android devices. Then one of the devices crashed on loading "librealm-jni.so" file at the app startup. Since then the app always crashes on the app startup on this device. The first call to Realm SDK is "Realm.init()". We get a native library stack trace when it crashes.

@yakitabrunet Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the late reply! Which device is this occurring on?

[yakitabrunet]

@bmunkholm It's on AMobile PD470SH. Here's hardware spec.

OS: Android 9 Manufacture: AMobile (https://www.amobile-solutions.com/) Model: PD470SH CPU: MediaTek MT6762 8 Cortex-4 A53 2.0 GHz/4 A53 1.5 GHz Dimensions: 160mm (H) x 76 mm (W) x 22 mm(D) Display: 5.0 in Resolution: 1280 x 720 Memory: 2 GB RAM, 16 GB flash WLAN: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/r (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) NFC: ISO 14443 Type A/B, FeliCa, MIFARE USB: USB 2.0 Type C micro SD slot Front camera : 5 megapixel Rear camera 13 megapixel Integrated 1D/2D bar-code imager Zebra SE4710 Battery: 4000 mAh

@yakitabrunet Thanks for the update.

1. You say "it started crashing". Does that mean it didn't used to crash, but now it does?
2. Have you ever been able to run the application on this device before without it crashing?
3. Are you deleting the application completely before restarting the application?
4. And then it crashes at first attempt to relaunch?

[yakitabrunet]

@bmunkholm Here are the answers to your questions.

1. You say "it started crashing". Does that mean it didn't used to crash, but now it does? Yes.

2. Have you ever been able to run the application on this device before without it crashing? Yes.

3. Are you deleting the application completely before restarting the application? No. The application is terminated, but not deleted (not un-installed). (We need to keep the database file for the application between the app restart.)

4. And then it crashes at first attempt to relaunch? No. Our app automatically starts after the device reboot (power off --> power on --> boot complete --> app starts) The app was able to restart after the device reboot numerous times, since the app installation. Then one day, the app crashed upon the device reboot. Since the first crash, the app always crashes upon relaunch (started by the device reboot, or started manually by pressing the app icon.)

I am seeing identical behavior to this across a number of devices in production. Users are fine for some time - initially multiple weeks, and then enter into this permanent crash loop.

I don't know if I'm being alarmist because I'm kinda up shit creek right now, but I imagine this is happening with a ton of users and many developers don't know - these crashes don't come through to Crashlytics, and will only be visible inside of the Play Store's release dashboard.

I believe the swath of native crashes that have started this year need urgent attention from the Realm team.

You are using version 4.2.0, could you please try a more recent one? This issue might have already been fixed.
