I can see that you’re a beta tester, so that might be why you’re seeing that icon at the top for a second. I don’t think it’s directly relevant to this behavior, since it won’t do anything unless it’s clicked.
Since Balanced_Kitchen also sees this behavior, and it not a beta tester, I don’t think it’s an issue with the beta testing server.
@overturner if you open the Thunkable Live listing in the Google Play Store, do you see an update available to download? Or do you have the most recent version of the app downloaded?
I tried these steps too @muneer it however crashed for me as well with Critical error message. I have an Android version 11 and Thunkable App version 283, last updated on 7th Sep’21
@jane something strange has just happened in front of my eyes. I deleted the project I copied from you and copied it again to have a fresh copy. I made changes in it and thought to start again.
Now, the project cashes every time I try to open it.
[Update]
I remixed again and this time I moved the blocks from the button click event and then deleted the button. The app became stable so I added a button and inserted your camera and recognition blocks back to the button click event and things are OK now.
Boring work-in-progress update: Thunkable team members Paul, Jose and Wei have been working on this issue. Jose tried building a new Thunkable Live app for Android, but the behavior was still present there. I know they’re live on a call right now, so I’ll make sure to update you guys as soon as they are back from the call and give me an update.
If you currently have a project affected by this behavior, try replacing your Button with a Label, and you ‘when Button Click’ block with a ‘when Label Click’ block. I have tried this in other projects and it has resolved the behavior.
More exciting update: Jose has sent me a new version of Thunkable Live to test, and the behavior was resolved! No crashes on Android, and I tried jumping between multiple projects to encourage things to break
Obviously an app does not appear on the Google Play store as soon as it is built, but hopefully an update to the Google Play app listing should be out soon
@jane great to hear that this has been resolved. Waiting eagerly for the new update. Thanks to the Thunkable team for actively working on resolving this menacing issue @jane & @muneer
I have not gotten the update from Google Play yet, perhaps it takes time to propagate to my country. But I downloaded and the .apk above and tried. It worked as before and I am not able to replicate any crash with the new .apk Thunkable Live using my working previously working apps. However, there is one observation still outstanding that I picked up from these few days.
using the circle play button on the “My projects” page. All good, no errors.
using the responsive webapp link. All good no errors.
using the live test button on design/blocks page. Can’t seemed to assign URL using blocks.
using the preview button on design page. Can’t seemed to assign URL using blocks.
Not sure if this is related but certainly the issue came together with crashes 2 days back. For now I am good with the mobile and the webapp link tests available. I am able to continue my work. Again, thank the team for the fast resolve.
