Support Forum,

I'm porting my Apps from V6.7.6 to V7.1.1 to get ready to go to V8 when it is released. I have made the minor changes to support arrayEncode() version numbers and I"m now verifying the apps.

I'm unable to load apps on Older version of Android with LC 7.1.1 using TEST button and USB connection and USB Debugging enabled on device.
Get ERROR. Unfortunately "app Name" has stop.
When I go back to LV6.7.6 the same app loads and works as expected.

Environment:
Windows 7 64 Bit Workstation
Livecode: V7.1.1
Android SDK Tools V24.4.1 (Latest)
Android Build Tools V21.1.2
Android API Installed the latest API-8, API-12, API-15, API-21, API-22, API-23 (Android 6.0 Latest API)
Java V8 Update 66

I'm able to load the App when using LC 6.7.6, but fails when I go to LC 7.1.1 on Older Version of Android.
ANDROID V4.1.2 FAILURE
ANDROID V4.4.3 WORKS

I will try on other version of Android and let you now what I find.
Any Ideas on why App installation fails with new LC version.

Thanks
Dan

Well, I think it's an API problem.
Install 2.2 API and 2.3 and all 3.x versions. Then try again.

After upgrading to LC 7.1.1 I had to update the sdk for LC to find it, and once set with the same version packages as I'd previously had, it complained about missing android version 4.0.3 which I then also installed and since then it has behaved.

Yeah, they changed the requirement to Android 4.0.3 API recently. I just keep all the build tools installed so I don't have to worry about it.

I hit a similar issue recently, at least on Mac. The latest Android security update prevents installation directly to a device in Test mode. I have 4 Android devices and the only one I can test on in usb debug mode is an older Samsung that doesn't yet have the update installed. I've reported the problem.

This has been reported as a BUG and is being investigated by LiveCode.
