Camera view crash on standalone build android

Expo SDK
1

Hi, I need help with camera on standalone build android.
I make standalone apk using the normal exp build:android command and so far I got 2 kinds of error on camera:

  1. On a simple app with only a camera inside the view I got a crash: with unknown error in the usual expo blue screen.

    This is the snack link: camera-record-bug-test - Snack
    and this is the apk if you want to try https://exp-shell-app-assets.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/android%2F%40adhicl%2Fcamera-video-capture-e44d6619-ca06-11e7-9929-0a580a781909-signed.apk.
  2. On another app that I make, I could create and run the app, but when I try to record, the app will get crash with this logcat:

Please remember for both occasion, it will only happen when I run it from the buildalone apk file but not from the expo app.
Am I missing something?

Hi @adhicl , the first one is caused because you Camera permissions are not set, sorry for not having any description for that case, I’ll fix it soon so a proper rejection message is sent. I’m still trying to work out the second case. Thanks for reporting!

Hi @aalices, how is it going with the second case? Can you reproduce it? Any progress?

4

Hey, I think I found the reason but not yet a fix for this. This all happens because the component rerenders when the top icon is changed and I have to find some way so it won’t crash.

Ok @aalices, great at least I know that it is an error. Thanks, hope it can be fixed soon :slight_smile:

Anyway, does this always happen in your case? Or maybe only when the audio recording permission dialog appears?

7

For me it always happen. And only when I make it into standalone build. I also already add all the permission needed to my app.json

8

@adhicl for the second case, can you provide code that reflects behavior of app that is crashing?

Hi @aalices, after I update to expo 24 it seems like it does not crash anymore?
