doc: Compiling on targetSdk30 gets uncatchable error on nodejs startup on Android11

[gonzalo-rivas]

Hello!!! thank your for your great job:).

Play Console has now a rule to only accept compilations with targetSdk in 30 (Android 11). Paradoxically, when compiling with this setting, ony Android 11 crashes on nodejs startup. Maybe its the NDK version? Anyone has compiled succesfully in with targetsdk=30?.

*Note: im using react-native so im using nodejs-react-native that, i guess, it uses this package internally.

*Note2: In iOS it works properly

My versions:

        minSdkVersion = 23
        compileSdkVersion = 30
        targetSdkVersion = 30
        supportLibVersion = "30.0.2"

gradle
dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual moduldqwee build.gradle files
    }

compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }

    ndkVersion "22.0.7026061"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId **
        minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
        targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
        versionCode **
        versionName **
        multiDexEnabled false
        aaptOptions {
            ignoreAssetsPattern '!.svn:!.git:!.ds_store:!*.scc:!CVS:!thumbs.db:!picasa.ini:!*~'
        }
    }
    splits {
        abi {
            reset()
            enable enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture
            universalApk true  // If true, also generate a universal APK
            include "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a", "x86_64"
        }
    }

Hi! Which version of nodejs-mobile and nodejs-mobile-react-native are you using?

[gonzalo-rivas]

nodejs-mobile-react-native@0.6.2 nodejs-mobile-gyp@0.3.1

nodejs-mobile dunno, i guess nodejs-mobile-react-native@0.6.2 has one specifically

[gonzalo-rivas]

In 0.6.3 it also crashes

[staltz]

0.6.2 had this crash and the main reason why I made 0.6.3 was to fix the crash. Can you make sure you installed it correctly? It should be using nodejs-mobile 0.3.3 which fixes this crash. I use targetSdk 30 for my app Manyverse and it's working correctly on Android 11.

[gonzalo-rivas]

:( now it crashes even earlier. Error is:

Try buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3" and ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529".

[gonzalo-rivas]

Nothing changes :(. Should i also try upgrading to react-native 0.65+? or is not supported yet?

I'm wondering about this directory /usr/local/google/buildbot/src... it seems unusual for a mobile device. Where are you running your app on?

[gonzalo-rivas]

Its the emulator of Android Studio Arctic Fox. Is curious because compiling in terminal and uploading it to appcenter lets the real device to install and execute it, it doesnt crash on real device.

[staltz]

Yeah, I would assume that nodejs-mobile does not properly support emulators. Since it does not crash on a real device, I'll close this issue.
