Hello all

I hope you are good.

I made a new update of an app and sent it to playstore. When I start the new application, it does not run and stays at the initial logo of the application. Are you so kind to help me, please?  
I think that when thunkable builds the android app the bug happens.

Thank you!

Does your app work in the companion app? Have you tried to download it instead of publishing?

Let me check but in thunkable app live, the app works good.

I already downloaded the application without publishing it and it works.

Do you know what it could be?

I don’t know what it could be, since it’s specific to the published app.

I’m not sure, as soon as someone from Thunkable is able to review it they should hopefully reach out. Please be patient.

Hey @ingraulbarbosa70a

Is there admob in your account by chance? Could you share the project link with me to review?

Your app relies heavily on `cloud data`. Can you provide a screen shot of the `Database Rules` in use in Firebase Realtime Database?

Hi Munner,

I tried again to publish android with a backup copy that I have of this app (old version that worked fine in playstore) and the same error stills when initialize the app. I think it is when thunkable builds the app to be published on Android, since it works if the app is downloaded without being published, when it´s tested on the live web and in the thunkable app too.

The question is **Are you using multiple Gmail accounts?**

In particular, is the Gmail account used for Thunkable/Firebase console different than that of App Store?

Hello Muneer

You are correct, I had another gmail account open (different from the one I have with thunkable). Yesterday I changed the accounts and sent the application for review, until today they accepted it and it has the same bug.

I have already restarted the browsers and sent the app to playstore again, I´m waiting for playstore release it again.

On the other hand, when I upload the app to the play store, these warnings appear before sending the production version to review.

In the past, the first warning did not appear (with the good version)

This warning is being taken care of by the Thunkable developers.

I was wondering if it is an authentication issue.

You can download the APK and it should work fine. Can you ask a friend to install the APK you created in his/her phone and try if if works?

Hello Munee

Yes i down

Yes, i download the .apk and if it works correctly and also on other devices.  
I think the issue is in the construction of android publish.  
in the other hand I published the same version in IOS, I’m going to find an iphone to download and see if the same bug appears.

Just to clarify, the bug does not let you start the app, it does not enter to load any images, it only stays on the first screen when you open the app that is its logo.

When you say other devices, do you mean devices belongs to other and are not using the same Gmail account you used for your Firebase console?

It is important that the device you test on uses a different Gmail account than yours.
