Sometimes unable to startup app for development
🐛 Describe the bug
Sometimes when i try to run the app for local development, it gives the below prompt in debug console and shows a black screen on the android device.
This is a know issue but was not showing any black screen before. Do you want to work on it ?
Yes @chandansgowda , let me try to debug this, if i find no solution for the same then will update here.
@chandansgowda I tried to find the problem but was unable to do so 😞 , but found that the reason for the problem is somewhere there is an uninitialized variable which is having !. (bang operator) on it due to which this problem is arising , I got this from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64278595/null-check-operator-used-on-a-null-value , so if someone else can find that one wrongly placed !. (bang operator) it would probably fix the issue.
Hey @chandansgowda I can work on this if it is alright, but I wont have a problem if @chinmayilondhe takes it up
I faced the same issue and I tried fixing it. I guess the error could be related to routes as the problem is caused while navigation.
I made some changes in the splash screen file. The black screen doesn't pop up anymore and i can go to other pages but I'm not sure if its entirely fixed :(
@chinmayilondhe @Aarush-Acharya @SimardeepSingh1450 If its alright and the issue is still open, do i raise a PR on this or would anyone like to test if the fix works for them?
@JuanitaCathy you can try running the same codebase on different devices like on emulator or use external device(having usb debugging enabled) and see if the issue is fixed. :smiley:
Yup, checked it on 2 external devices and it worked. Just wanted to make sure because sometimes, even if the null check error is present, the app works fine.
