Some device report (crashlytics) crash Caused by java.lang.NumberFormatException about richpath HOT 10 OPEN

I'm able to reproduce only on an obfuscated APK

Checking it out

from richpath.

Correction: it's fine in an APK and doesn't work when distributed from an android bundle via the play store (aab)..

I find it very strange and worrying.. probably has nothing to do with the library

from richpath.

Hi @Shailevy thank you for using RichPath, I will investigate in that crash.
I am curious to download your app, could you send the play store link?

from richpath.

Hi,
Thanks, I will email you shortly

from richpath.

I emailed you.
But we can try another approach.. can you obfuscate and publish the sample app as an aab (bundle) in the play store ?

I will opt-in to the beta and then we can see if this is a generic problem or app-specific

from richpath.

Me again,
Sorry for all the messages, its a new production app and everyone here is in panic mode and I would rather annoy you with too much updates then let you waste time on this.

Turns out you can ran an Android Bundle with android studio:

The problem reproduces right away so I was able to debug it:

getAttributeStrokeLineCap in XmlParser.class calls getAttributeValue(xpp, attributeName)

The function:
private static String getAttributeValue(XmlResourceParser xpp, String attributeName) {
return xpp.getAttributeValue("http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android", attributeName);
}

For my XML
Will return "1" when the project is compiled to an APK and "round" when the project is compiled to a bundle.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the schemas.android.com/apk/res/android name space that hard-coded in the library.. I'm still trying to figure out how to overcome this, I will keep updating you here if I make progress

----- Update:
I will leave this to you, as far as it seems right now the library can't support App Bundles without some updating.
I didn't find helpful info in stackoverflow but I did find many complaints about problems with app bundles. So I decided to switch back to APK's without looking back.

However,
I will gladly help you find out the problem and test a fix and etc... feel free to contact me anytime.
I also suggest you reproduce at your end and warn library users not to migrate to bundles before a fix is available

from richpath.

Thank you for these information, I will try to figure out this issue in the weekend and I will contact if I have update or need to ask question! Thank you again!

from richpath.

Please don't forget this issue so we can all peek on App-Bundles again at some point.
I will be happy to help

from richpath.

Any updated ? is this great library abandoned ?

from richpath.

Hi @Shailevy
Actually I was very busy in the last month and only me work on this library, I have new features to add and also some fixes, but not sure if I can find a time to do that.

I would suggest if you have some time to do this fix and open a pull request! I think it should be easier for you since you're familiar with the bug and know how to reproduce it.
