Survey123 Connect 2.6.4 Crashing when signed into ArcGIS Online

PaulPanehal

Hello,

I am writing this to potentially report a bug.

I am running Version 2.6.4 of Survey123 Connect, and it runs perfectly fine when I create and run surveys locally. As soon as I log into ArcGIS Online (AGO) and open my existing survey, Survey123 crashes.

At first I thought this had to do with certain fields that I had added, but this does not seem to be the case.

I have attached the three log files that all represent attempts to login withing minutes of each other. The smaller files seem to indicate why the program crashed.

Hi Paul,

I believe I have found the issue with the crashes in Connect and the App you are having. The 3 png files you are using for the media images are very high resolution. Specifically the color_tweak.png image is 44,087 by 2,048 pixels. That makes it over 50 megapixels. Other Windows standard applications such as Paint, Picture Viewer and even Adobe Photoshop Express also crash and/or will not display these images.

Given the screen size and display resolution of mobile devices and the width of a survey form, I would suggest that you do not need such high resolution images for the media image, and reducing these to a more reasonable pixel width/height will make the survey load faster and be more reliable. The survey does not crash when the images are removed from media folder and then does crash when added back in. Replacing with smaller resolution images also stops the crashing, so points to the image size being the issue.

Phil.

Hi Paul - this is not a known issue. But I will try to replicate. Can you confirm that your Windows 7 environment has all the latest service packs applied?

Thanks

John

John,

I will try my best since the PCs are maintained separately by our IT Department.

I am certainly running Windows 7 Professional with SP1.

Microsoft:

.NET Framework 4.5.2
Visual C++ 2005 Redistrib.
Visual C++ 2005 Redistrib. (x64)
Visual C++ 2008 Redistrib. x86 9.0.30729.17

Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistrib. 10.0.40219

Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistrib. 10.0.40219

Visual C++ 2012 Redistrib. (x64) 11.0.50727

Visual C++ 2012 Redistrib. (x86) 11.0.50727

There are no further windows updates available to me.

I have attached my system specs to this post.

John,

I have had some success logging into AGO from Survey123 Connect, but I still have the same issue. Here is the scenario:

I open Survey123 Connect on my PC. I use the 'Sign In' button in the upper-right hand corner of the Front Page. I sign-in, no problem. I go to open my survey:
- If I open a simple survey, I have no crashes. Simple surveys include typical questions, the ability to take pictures or geopoints, or were designed from an existing Feature Layer
- The complex survey, the only survey I have issues with involves stored media, many questions with constraints or relevancies, and at least one complex calculation. This is the survey that crashes on me.
The other option includes not signing into AGO using Scenario 1, opening my complex survey, and signing into AGO after the survey form has been opened. The sign-in button is the 'person-shaped' icon in the lower-left hand corner of 'My Survey.' No crashes.
- This leads me to think that both the complexity of my form, and other background processes always lead Survey123 Connect to crash. To add to this, I even tried, in the same session, logging out of AGO, and trying to open my complex survey, which still leads to a crash.

Are there any other ideas for me to try?

Hi Paul,

John has asked me to take a look at this issue, as I have a Windows 7 SP1 instance which hopefully we can replicate your crash on. Are you able to send me a copy of the survey xlsx for both your simple survey and complex survey, so I can work out where the crash occurs. Either attach to this post or send via private message. Thanks.

Regards,

Phil.

Generally it seems that my 'complex' survey has a lot going on in such a way that it causes Survey123 Connect to crash. It almost seems like there may be a memory leak. The crashes always seem to occur when anything is done while the 'complex' survey is opening, or when logged into AGO.

I have attached my .xlsx(s) for both the 'complex' survey and a more simple one.

Complex = 'Southerly_Quarterly......xlsx'

Simpler = 'FleetServices'

Another issue with the Complex survey is the embedded images do not open consistently.

Thanks,

Paul
