Crashes at startup when using "use-app-thinning"

[AndreaVitale]

Hi @hansemannn, first of all thank for your amazing work! I'm trying to use this module with Alloy on an app with Ti SDK 5.5.1.GA, but it crashes at startup with this stacktrace:

I have a reference to the module inside alloy.js:

Alloy.Globals.GoogleMaps = require('ti.googlemaps');
Alloy.Globals.GoogleMaps.setAPIKey('API_KEY');

and inside my index.js I have:

var companies = {
    appcelerator: {
        title: "Appcelerator",
        city: "San Jose, CA",
        latitude: 37.368122,
        longitude: -121.913653
    },
    apple: {
        title: "Apple",
        city: "Cupertino, CA",
        latitude: 37.331711,
        longitude: -122.030184
    },
    facebook: {
        title: "Facebook",
        city: "Menlo Park, CA",
        latitude: 37.4748624,
        longitude: -122.1490817
    },
    microsoft: {
        title: "Microsoft",
        city: "Redmond, WA",
        latitude: 47.641959,
        longitude: -122.130588
    }
};

$.Map.region = {
    latitude: companies.appcelerator.latitude,
    longitude: companies.appcelerator.longitude,
    zoom: 10
};

addMarkers(companies);

$.index.open();

function addMarkers(companies) {
    for (var key in companies)
        if (companies.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            var company = companies[key];

            var annotation = Alloy.Globals.GoogleMaps.createAnnotation({
                latitude: company.latitude,
                longitude: company.longitude,
                title: company.title,
                subtitle: company.city
            });

            $.Map.addAnnotation(annotation);

            Ti.API.info(key + ": " + company.title + " (" + company.city + ")");
        }
}

How can I solve? Thank you.

• Did you set a valid API key that matches with your bundle ID?
• Did you ensure the bundle is copied to the app (check)?

We has this report many times now, it was always one of the above issues on the devs side.

[AndreaVitale]

Previously I had an unrestricted API Key. Now I create an iOS App API Key with the same bundle id but I got the same error.

EDIT: Removing all annotations the app doesn't crash. So the annotation seems to be the problem.

[hansemannn]

Mhhh..the error looks like something different. Would you be able to provide a sample project or tiapp.xml?

[AndreaVitale]

Here is the sample app. I attach also the screenshot from google developer console. google-maps.zip

[hansemannn]

That's the bad boy:

<use-app-thinning>true</use-app-thinning>

Seems like there is an SDK issue with app-thinning & modules bundles. I'll file a ticket for that. Removing that lines fixes it for me.

[Topener]

Can confirm this also fixes it for me!

[AndreaVitale]

I confirm that it works also for me, thank you :)
