I'm assuming you're trying to run the example app from a fresh clone of this repo. If that's the case, then the library needsto be built.

Try these steps:

git submodule update --init --recursive
cd cpp
./build.rive.for.sh -a [x86 | x86_64 | armeabi-v7a | arm64-v8a] # <- Pick the architecture you want to run on

I'm getting the exact same crash report on Firebase Console on a released app. I'm using dependency app.rive:rive-android:4.2.0 with startup androidx.startup:startup-runtime:1.1.1 The user is using an Oppo A57 running Android 13

Hi @DJPretorius, current version is 8.2.3, could you try upgrading to that? Also, how're you performing Rive initialization in your code?

[DJPretorius]

Wow, you have been busy in 2023. I'll give it a try but I unfortunately was not able to replicate this since this was reported by Firebase Crashlytics.

I initialise Rive using a provider in the Android manifest as in the documentation

<provider
    android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider"
    android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup"
    android:exported="false"
    tools:node="merge">
    <meta-data android:name="app.rive.runtime.kotlin.RiveInitializer"
        android:value="androidx.startup" />
</provider>

Is the libjnirivebridge.so compiled for the architectures mentioned in the stack trace (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, armeabi)?

Yes, although the name of the library in the latest iterations has been changed to librive-android.so, I highly recommend the upgrade as it includes a lot of fixes and it supports all the newest Rive features, like Text, Events, as well as experimental support for our new blazingly fast renderer!
