This seems to happen on devices which do not have the google play services installed (they are needed for viewing maps) and at the same time they do not have the market or google play app installed either. The crash does not occur in our code so there is nothing we can do at the moment except trying to update play services library (which has its own issues) we use in the app and hope google has fixed the issue. Update: there seems to be a hack available: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36963664

Just saw this and wanted add a comment since I have android phones without play services or play store. Flow does not crash at all in both Android 5.1 and 6.0.1 for me. This has been the case since an year now. Hope this is useful, let me know if I can provide more information

@guneetnarula Thank you for the update, that is very interesting as this bug is hard to reproduce. I do have a few questions: 1) If you do not have play services installed, are you able to still see the maps for example for the datapoints list, the second tab or is there a button there saying you should download play services? 2) Are you using the latest version of the Flow app?

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=market://details?id=com.retailAnalytics }. I have playStore installed and playServices library installed in it. Still i am getting this issue. Please explain why i am getting this.
