An Android app fails to start

General
1

I already created this topic in together.jolla.com but I will repeat the question here:
I am using Xperia 10/SFOS 3.3.0.16 (Rokua). I want to run Android app “Collins Bird Guide” which works fine on my Android. I can download and install it from Aptoide. Starting the app in SFOS always gives immediatelly an error saying “Failed to download expansion pack. Please uninstall and re-install the app”. I have uninstalled and re-installed the app but the result is the same. I checked the logs (journalctl) and found following rows appearing after starting the application:

***Aug 22 20:56:19 Xperia10-DualSIM systemd-udevd[21464]: conflicting device node ‘/dev/mapper/sailfish-home’ found, link to ‘/dev/dm-1’ will not be created ***

?? Is there some solution to fix the above application errors. What should be used instead of “/usr/share/applications/system_server.desktop”

Only a single journal entry is related to your Android app:

Aug 22 20:56:45 Xperia10-DualSIM apkd[4855]: Launching com.natureguides.birdguide

For analysing why an Android app fails to start or run properly, take a look at the Android logcat log. This is documented somewhere at TJC.

3

There are more messages related to this. I tried to just read the logs. I am not an android or SFOS specialist so I did not even try reading android catlog logs but maybe I have to try it.

Each time I launch the application the following rows appear in the journal log:

Aug 26 09:34:20 Xperia10-DualSIM apkd[4855]: Launching com.natureguides.birdguide

Aug 26 09:34:21 Xperia10-DualSIM lipstick[5409]: [D] unknown:0 - Specified Desktop file does not exist “/usr/share/applications/system_server.desktop”

Aug 26 09:34:23 Xperia10-DualSIM lipstick[5409]: [W] unknown:0 - WindowPixmapItem does not have a source texture, cover will be dropped…

I return to my question once more. I cannot solve the problem myself and would like to get some help on the issue. I did view the logs during the start of the app. There are separate logs for SFOS and the Android included in this message. The logs are taken in two separate SSH-sessions after restarting the Xperia 10 because it seems to give a little more info on the first start. What actually happens is: The app starts, shows an error message in a popup window and after closing the message it minimizes to the desktop.

Hi, same issue here on my side.
Maybe you could transfer this topic to a bug report…

Apps that are no more working for me:

  • MyAudi (crash directly after App-Startlogo was shown)
  • AccuWeather (Stuck in App-Startlogo)
  • clever-tanken (crash directly after App-Startlogo was shown)
  • Shell (crash directly after App-Startlogo was shown)

Apps that are still working:

  • WhatsApp
  • Threema
  • HERE WeGo
  • etc.

Maybe we could get some more support on that.

It might have been wise to mention that this particular .apk is a paid for application not a free one as Google would be involved as such.

7

For me this sounds rather like a missing/misconfigured playservices/microg install…
Just tried clever-tanken on my phone and it seems.to work (microg install).
There is spritradar in harbor as well.

8

Thank you for the hint, that there is no general issue. I have MicroG Services installed, and the Self-Check shows that all is working as expected. Also everything worked before.
Would be good, to find out how to debug instead of resetting the phone.

9

Curious if anyone found a resolution to this?

I have a similar error with an apk that has in game commercials and wonder if it can be resolved via microg
