App crashes on Android

[nncl]

Hello guys.

Today I updated to 7.0.7 version and it worked properly on iOS, but it makes the app crashes on Android 4.4. I rollbacked to version 7.0.6 and then it worked.

I don't know how to give you further details about it because I can no longer check logs since app crashes on initialization.

Can confirm, also an issue on my end.

@nncl Hi. Can you obtain device logs using Android Studio device monitor? Is the issue only reproducible with Android 4.4?

[wfhm]

@lsorese Can you provide us with device logs describing this issue? Does the issue occur with the same Android version mentioned by @nncl or are any other Android versions affected?

Same on Android 8.0.0 and others

Plugin v7.0.7, v7.0.6... API v26 Android 6.3.0 Cordova 7.0.1

Edit: just checked - 7.0.4 works ok

Here's the reason of this crash:

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method getNoBackupFilesDir(Landroid/content/Context;)Ljava/io/File; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/util/zzt; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.util.zzt' appears in /data/app/gwb.tknerbne.worker-T2Bwx15KxSfhK-NT0ZA9qw==/base.apk)

It can be explained by an outdated version of Google Play services libs used in your project. If you have any 3rd-party plugins that include com.google.android.gms packages, please make sure all of them have the same versions across your project. If there is a versioning conflict, you can solve it by changing the version of Google Play services libs in Pushwoosh plugin's plugin.xml from '11.0.2' to '+':

        <framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+" />
        <framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:+" />

with these framework options I get another fatal:

Plugins list used in my app is quite long so I have no idea how to properly debug if some are conflicting without spending days on it :/

@nncl

This error indicates that you have different versions of google-play-services and firebase SDK. Please make sure that you have the same versions specified for com.google.android.gms and com.google.firebase packages in your plugin.xml.

By default, Pushwoosh plugin uses 11.0.2 version of these libs, so if you had changed the version of com.google.android.gms to '+' as was offered earlier, you should change com.google.firebase version to the same as well.

@nncl Did you have a chance to test the solution above?
