Android App Crashes on startup

[MetaBenji]

Description

My React Native Android app is crashing as soon as the application is opened, without any changes being made to the application code or dependencies.

Summary of problem

• The app runs fine when creating a local build, however when I sideload the APK generated from my CI build machine, it crashes
• The APK generated by CI on Monday does not crash on startup
• The APK generated by CI on Tuesday crashes on startup
• Generating another APK Monday's commit also crashes on startup

What I've tried

• building a debug APK locally, which does not crash on startup
• getting logs from logcat which I've pasted below
• Symbolicating the logcat using React Native Symbolication

I too am having the same issue.

I recently upgraded my gradle from 6.9 to 7.3.3, also upgraded the compileSdkVersion & targetSdkVersion from 30 to 31, and upgraded Java files from OpenJ 1.8 to Java 11.

Ever since then the apks build locally debug and release are working perfectly, but when I upload the .aab to the play console and after it gets updated on play store, the app doesn't open after installing.

I don't understand how I could debug this!😭

Please do let me know if I could do. Thank you.

I too am having the same issue.

I upgraded the compileSdk & targetSDK from 30 to 31 then the apk working perfectly. But when i upload to the play console and after it gets updated on play store, the app doesn't open after installing on Android 12 devices.

Below is the Android 12 device bug report.

Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified

Please do let me know if I could do. Thank you.
