Little precision : It crashes with 1.2.5, but it works with 1.0.0. (edit : I was refering to LibPD only. Processing crashed in both version.)

Can also confirm the Processing example in 1.2.5 crashes Phonk in 4.4.4.

@garydion Thanks for letting me know Do you have any log?

PHONK 1.0.0 used an older version of Processing core, maybe there is something in newer versions that breaks in old models. I'll have a look into this asap

I'll check for any log messages tonight.

Sorry, my little precision was missing an important precision :

Only LibPD works with 1.0.0.
Processing crashes with both 1.2.5 and 1.0.0.

According to this it seems that Processing is trying to look for some Wearable classes that only exists in higher Android versions.

I'm going to fork Processing core and check if I can "easily" remove those dependencies. If not I will revert the library to the old one. I prefer to have the widest support across versions rather than newer features.
