ArcGIS Runtime 100.2.1 crashes on Android 8.0 (API 26)

We are working with Xamarin Forms + Runtime and this does not seem to work with emulators/devices having android 8. Attached is a simple implementation to replicate the issue.

Have you tried disabling "Use Shared Runtime" and "Use Fast Deployment?" Those are under Android Options --> Packaging Properties on the project's properties page. Then uninstall the app from emulator or device and do a full rebuild/redeploy.

Hi Rich,

So there were 2 issues, on the emulator as you suggested.

disabling "Use Shared Runtime" and "Use Fast Deployment?" worked fine with the test app.

But in our app, we had one more issue caused due to the version 4.2.2

ArcGIS Runtime 100.2.1 does not work with Xamarin Forms and Android 4.2.2

The fix for the above was to include this.

JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("runtimecore");//which did not work with version 8.

So the final fix was to do this.

if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt <= BuildVersionCodes.JellyBean)
JavaSystem.LoadLibrary("runtimecore"); // fix for the android version 4.2

Regards

Sandeep

Thanks for letting us know that the LoadLibrary call fails for you on newer versions of Android. I suspect that will fail on Android 7 and up due to restrictions that were introduce in the loading of 3rd party libraries at run-time. Also, I would expect that disabling "Shared Runtime" and "Fast Deployment" on Android versions prior to 8.0 is not necessary. At least, I've not seen a problem with that at earlier versions.

Xamarin Forms version:3.0X

The app is workingg in UWP

Arcgis Runitme(.net) is 100.3

Did any of the above suggestion workarounds work for you? Did you update your Xamarin tooling / Visual Studio to the latest version?

Just to be extra sure, can you try this?

Uninstall the app from the target device
Delete the output folder (bin folder in the project directory by default)
Delete the intermediate folder (obj folder in the project directory by default)
Rebuild and re-deploy

This is just to ensure that the Mono Shared Runtime and Fast Deployment are no longer being used.
