Hi,

I can't complete the installation of the app on android device with Mac. The app can be installed but it crashes on the launch. this app file works perfectly if I work with PC but no luck with Mac.

With Mac, It's possible to initiate installation of the app by clicking the test button but it fails....LC 7.0.3 does not show jdk path as you can see the picture.
os is Yosemite 10.10.3, jdk-8u20-macosx-x64
any suggestion?

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Louis - I would try moving your android sdk out of your downloads folder (maybe somewhere inside documents?). The other thing I would double-check is whether there are any other copies of the sdk on your system that might confuse LC. But basically I dunno, assuming you are including Android 2.2 in your downloads and other basic things it be by time to try uninstalling and reinstalling android.

BTW I find LC 7.0.5 works best with Android when compared to earlier versions of 7...

Hi Louis,

This is known issue and our QC team is looking into it-

Basically, although the path is not auto-filling..LC can still see the path.

I see that you can successfully build an APK but it is crashing. This should not be happening. If possible, could you please report this to our QC team as they will be able to investigate further

Hi Dave and Neil,

I completely formatted my mac and installed all required tools then I tried again.

The result was same

1. In LC 7.0.5, JDK path does not appear but able to build .apk file.
2. .apk is installed on the android device.
3. App crashes as soon as it launches.

One thing I have not inform you is that the stack file is originally built with LC 6.5.2 and I updated tool to LC 7.0.5 because it supports unicode text.
I think its nothing wrong with LC 7.0.5 for the app crash. I guess shifting LC version from 6 to 7 caused crash.
If it is the case, should I rebuild a stack file again from scratch with LC 7.0.5? I hope there is some walk around to solve this issue.

Cheers,

Louis

I can almost guarantee it isn't your Mac or your stack, so save yourself some trouble. Submit a bug report as Neil suggests, its a LiveCode issue. Offer to send your stack if they need it.

I read on another forum that installing Eclipse solve this bug... You could try.
