Hi, I change my phone to a Google Pixel 7 with Android 16. The Companion app crash automatically when trying to start the app. Any idea how to resolve the situation?
Thank you
What project are you testing? I have the same configuration. What extensions are you using? You could search for extensions that are not compatible with Android 15 or 16 anymore on the community.
I am not even at loading a project by scanning a QR code. The application "Companion" itself does not load at all. I have a sort of splash screen showing for a fraction of second. I gave all the authorization possible..
What version of the companion are you running?
Could you take a screenshot of it?
Here's a screenshot. I downloaded the version 2.76 from Play store, and then try with 2.76u from inventor web link
to find out what's going on use logcat

Here is the output log of the "adb logcat *:E" exactly when I press the application button.

I should have written "the companion app". I cannot even get to "QR code" button. It is not related to the app I'm trying to build.
Thanks for the report. We will look into it.
By chance, does your phone have a physical SD card slot?
No SD slot.
Here is a link to a test build that includes an adjustment that should prevent the crash. Note that you will have to enable sideloading of APKs to install it.
Thank you! It worked perfectly
Thanks for testing. I'll submit a patch for our next release.
