HellowWorld app immediately crashes on launch

[phildow]

With a clone of the repo as of Aug 14, 2020, no modifications, the HelloWorld app crashes at launch trying to read the model.pt asset:

The crash is consistent even if I recreate the model with the trace_model script using a couple different versions of torch and torchvision:

With torch==1.6.0 torchvision==0.7.0, Run python trace_model.py, clean and launch, app crashes with same error.

With torch==1.4.0 torchvision==0.5.0, Run python trace_model.py, clean and launch, app crashes with same error.

It may be worth noting that I have multiple versions of the Android NDK installed and specify ndkVersion "21.1.6352462"

I got the same error and was able to fix the problem by updating the dependencies. See my repo (https://github.com/suyashjoshi/android-demo-app) for this fixed version. I've also submitted a Pull Request to the main Android PyTorch repo with the fix : https://github.com/pytorch/android-demo-app/pull/87
