Expo vers 26 crash on standalone Android, help to debug

When building standalone app on Android I get two crashes during startup after upgrading to Expo ver. 26.
Thankful for tips on how this can be debugged/solved

Both crashes generates blue screen with message:
Attempt to invoke method ‘int java.lang.String.hashCode()’ on a null object reference

Does your app work with the non minified version? My crashes too but only with the minified version.

I build with exp build:android
Then install via adb. So I am not sure if minified or not. Is it possible to configure?

Yes I think it is minified. Try testing with exp start --minify and exp start and see if it always works.

Thanks, Yes both exp start and exp start --minify works fine. I only get the crash when running standalone build on Android. Testing on Nexus 5X device, Android release 8.1.0…

Having the same issue in standalone app. Testing on Nexus 6P Android 8.1. I’m pretty sure that is because of Google Maps API.

Hi - could you provide some code that repros this crash? I know it’s a standalone only issue, but maybe a snack with enough code to reproduce this if I built a standalone app with it? That would be super helpful in trying to track down the root cause. Thanks so much!

Here is a code sample to reproduce the error: ErrorSample - Snack.

Please note that in order to compile the apk for android is necessary to create an api key as explained in the next link: MapView - Expo Documentation

Thanks!

I had two crashes.
Crash 2 is solved. It was related to expo push notifications. I think the reason for the crash was that I used Permissions.askAsync on Android. (Worked in previous versions of Expo)

Crash 1. Crash happens when adding custom marker image to MapView. I use png format images. Worked fine with previous versions on Expo. Is it possible to covert to bitmap?

adb logcat:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
04-14 18:40:14.357 4805 4805 E AndroidRuntime: Process: com.NeighborWatch.NeighborWatch, PID: 4805

I use the following code:
import orangeMarkerImg from ‘…/assets/images/markers/48/orange.png’
<MapView.Marker
key={i}
title=“Hello there”
coordinate={{
latitude: parseFloat(venue.lat),
longitude: parseFloat(venue.lng),
}}
image={orangeMarkerImg}
/>

I am having the same exact issue here with mapview marker after upgrading to expo 26 standalone android app crashes and logs:
java.lang.RuntimeException: com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.common.apiexception.b: Failed to decode image. The provided image must be a Bitmap.

Any solution to this yet?

Hi all - SDK 27 is slated to include react-native-maps@0.21.0 which I believe should fix this issue. If you’re experiencing this crash, I would recommend just staying on your current SDK version until 27 is out and upgrading at that point. If you upgrade to 27 and you’re still getting this same crash, let us know.

Be sure to follow our blog, as we’ll announce there when 27 is out.

I’m also experiencing this. Same exact error in Fabric. Is it possible to push out a hotfix for SDK 26?

Our standalone app still crashes, after upgrading the build to SDK 27.

Still crash with standalone app (SDK 27). Crash when adding image for markers.

It doesn’t look like SDK 27 actually got react-native-maps@0.21.0 - that’s not a tag that exists on the expo/react-native-maps repo. Is there a way we can release this now before 28?

I can’t speak about the specific crash this thread covers, but we did import rn-maps after the 0.21.0 version bump for SDK 27. (I don’t know if they tagged it upstream.)
