hi  
I just finished an extremely hard app  
everything worked as expected except some lag due to navigator and ram management (inside live test app) but I faced an issue after downloading APK file and Installing it as standalone app (outside thunkable live)  
the application start and the first screen shows up but its frozen (gif images not working) and not responding to anything tried a lot of things ( emulators + editing and removing from the code ) but no luck

i appreciate any help  
I’m Stuck here guys

I wish that I can share my project here but a lot of API keys and passwords + google sheets and assets are used

Hey @newman1994211pt, welcome to the community 👋

This sounds unusual that your project would work when testing but stop when you go to install it.

Can you share your project link with me via PM and I will see if I can reproduce this behaviour on my end.

Thanks.

This issue is device online conflicts with data source thus freezing and making navigation impossible .

Nope, in my case since yesterday I cant open any thunkable APK… with or without “device is online?” block

And also in Thunkable live I m founding crashes and bugs with airtable…  
In firebase I found different answers when the file is null, before the result was null, now is undefined, there was a lot of changes, a week ago, my app worked perfect, today it crashes and also I cant OPEN ANY APP, i m talking about empty apps… I dont know what is happening

A very important detail, the older downloaded apks, works perfect in my phone, the problem started yesterday)

I believe and bet on thunkable progress but I learned that before to do any update in IOS or Android, you have to test EVERYTHING because there are constant updates in plataform and thing changes, on this path you will find a lot of bugs, sometimes you will have to wait and other times you will have to try to solve your mistakes. In this case I would wait for them to solve whatever is happening. but never stop asking
