App crashes at start on any device that i tried!

[SCOS100]

So, idk why but on every device that i own the app doesn't even start. If you find a solution, please help!

May I know about these infos:

• List of devices you are trying to run this launcher on (Brand, Model & Variant, ROM, Android Version). e.g Samsung A03 Core (SM-A032F/DS), Stock Android 11, Nokia 6.1 Plus (TA-1116) Stock Android 10, TCL 50 Inch (50A18) Stock Android 11
• Launcher release number, e.g Alpha 20230129_0235P.
• Can you provide any logcat (mandatory). Please refer to this link on how to obtain Android logcat without a PC.
• Optional screen record. may give some more info about what's happening.

If you provide enough info, I might be able to investigate further and therefore know what's the problem with the launcher when running on any, if not all of these devices, though I cannot guarantee that this will be fixed soon.

Umm... shouldn't these questions in template?

So i use a Huawei p smart 2018 with android 8.1.0 and a Tv made by Hitachi with android 9. I am using the latest version. The logcat does not show anything about the app. Oh, and the screen just goes black and it closes. And how should i screen record android tv, like how.

(Also both devices has the same rom that they came with.)

I have the same problem. Only versions alpha 1 alpha 2 and alpha 3 working on my device. This seems to be due to the addition of new features since alpha 4

I cannot pinpoint what is the error by using my Samsung A03 Core (One UI), Nokia T20 (Android One), and a fresh image of AVD Emulator with Android 13 (Android One? IDK, it's AOSP with GApps) here using the APK from the release page, they are booting and running fine and no error thrown to logcat. I'll try another AVD with Android 8 this morning to see if it is running and not an API version-related problem.

Btw, @CloudStrife98 , what is your device brand and model, if I may know? If it is using Realme ROM, probably it is related to issue #32 , please confirm.

[EmiyaSyahriel]

I got it, using AVD with Android 8 (8.1, API 27) did throws out error, and yes, it is an API version-related problem.

At last, some light were shed.

Edit : This is from the still in-development pinned shortcut category, which is not available until Android 10 (Q), I mistakenly left a TODO("reason") method there in case the launcher runs on Android before 10 and crashes immediately. I'll fix it as soon as my schedule is free and update the release page.

But, I also afraid that this is not all the case because someone on the showcase video at Youtube did say that the launcher also crashes on Android 13.

Added New Release at Alpha 20230327

Please test this new release and give me follow ups if the problem is persist in this release APK.
