16.1.4 Crashes my app

[kitenium]

16.1.3 was running just fine but once I installed 16.1.4 the app crashes immediately on startup

Turns out removing the play-services-ads-lite-17.2.0.aar fixes the issue.

cc @ypbnv, maybe a regression in the latest version published?

[ypbnv]

@kitenium Would you be able to share if you are using any other modules in combination with ti.playservices?

@hansemannn The latest update is effectively only adding the play-services-ads-lite.aar into the module. I suppose this could introduce some ambiguous dependencies if used with other modules built against an older version of the ti.playservices. Unfortunately, if this turns out to be true, I am not sure if anything besides rebuilding the modules, depending on ti.playservices, can be done.

@kitenium can you please check your adb logcat for

this is the crashlog I have when I use 16.1.4. The old version is working fine for me too.

edit: or 16.1.4 without play-services-ads-lite-17.2.0.aar works fine too!

@m1ga I see. Thanks for the confirmation. Titanium does not provide this level of details on the crash. It seems like a configuration issue to me. But would be nice to be able to opt out on the ads stuff since most people like me won't be using it.

[m1ga]

@kitenium I'm using Titanium too :) You can just run adb logcat with an attached device to see the full android log.

[kitenium]

@m1ga Yes, I know you. You have forked/created a lot of titanium modules projects.

Actually, I am using one of them in our project thanks to your contribution - tintimage!

Good to know about the adb logcat trick. I am starting to use it from now on.

[hansemannn]

Can someone please either fix 16.1.4 or revert to 16.1.3 completely? We tried to use it as well and it crashes the app just after adding it to the tiapp.xml. We are using 16.1.3 for now.

[yahya-uddin]

16.1.5 solves the crash issue for me, but have new issues with ti.map: https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/AC-6438

Still have to stay on 16.1.3
