Airbitz 1.4.8 crashes on startup in genymotion emulator.

[greatwolf]

When I start airbitz on the emulator it shows a grey screen and after a few seconds it shows me the error:

Unfortunately, Airbitz has stopped.

This is installed into the running emulator through google play's app store as usual. A prior version of Airbitz did work but I'm not sure which new release broke this.

Info on emulator tested on:

• Genymotion v2.4.0.
• Moto X emulator profile
• Android 4.4.4 running ARM translation patch + gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip

I've tested this using older Android 4.3 as well as other emulator profile combinations like nexus and samsung -- they all exhibit the same startup crashing problem.

What does logcat show? Did you have any issues compiling airbitz-core?

We have had issues with Genymotion but the ARM translation patch worked in the past. You can also try enabling x86 in the Application.mk and rerunning mkabc to build the x86 binaries.

I didn't try building airbitz-core from the git repo, I'm just using the compiled app from the google Play Store.

Here's what the logcat shows:

Just wanted to report, I tested this with Droid4x 0.7.5 just now. Same problem; except it stays on the grey screen indefinitely.

Thanks for the additional info. I am able to reproduce this. I am still trying to figure out what is wrong. Interestingly local builds of the APK install and run just fine on GenyMotion.

[greatwolf]

Just wanted to add v1.4.9 still exhibits the same crashing problem on startup. Are there any differences between the binaries produced from a local build vs the one that's submitted to google play store?

Hi @greatwolf. Please try 1.5.2. We've just added x86 support so you shouldn't need the ARM translation patch.

Looks like version 1.5.2 works again on geny motion. Really appreciate the fix. Thank you!
