Help test Companion app bugfixes for Android 14

News/Announcements
1

Hello all,

This thread is for tracking bugfixes to the extension loading issue affecting some devices running Android 14. The gist of it is that Android 14 requires that dynamically loaded code (e.g., extensions) to now be read-only. Companion version 2.72 implements this change, however, it seems like it does not work correctly on all phones. Experimental versions of the companion are posted here to offer people affected by this change to test potential fixes.

Testing version 2.72d4 Link

When prompted to upgrade by App Inventor, click "Not Now" to continue the connection process.

When testing, please report the Android version number, the device manufacturer and model, and any specific error messages that appear either in the companion app or in the web interface.

Thanks,
Evan W. Patton, Ph.D.

Hi @ewpatton,

unfortunately also with 2.72d3 no improvement... tested with sqlite272Test4_1 and sqlite272Test4_11 from TIMAI2 on a Samsung S6 lite Android 14.
Since 2.72d2 I'm getting an error message in the editor:

AI_Error_01
AI_Error_011004×945 171 KB

Do you need any further information about the android version (Kernel-Version, Build, One-UI etc.) ?

Hello,

after installing the new Version the following Message appers:

"Your Companion App is out of date. Restart the Companion and use it to scan the QRCode below in order to update"

I use Samsung Galaxy s24+, Android Version 14

Hi,

I am still having no luck with the BLE, attached is a very simple app that allows for a bluetooth connection to be made to a known bluetooth address.

If the app is run in the companion (version 2.72d3) it works correctly, if however I build it and attempt to run on the same android device if fails to connect with ConnectWithAddress,ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION error message

I am using the following:

Built: August 18 2024 Version: nb198
Use
SIMPLEAPP (1).aia (237.7 KB)
Companion: Use Companion: 2.72 or 2.72u

Companion 2.272d3

Android 14 (Google Pixel 8a)

Try this version.

App Companion 2.72D3 does not resolve the problem with RegisterForStrings causeing a crash. Tried both App Companion and compile .apk. Same results.
Samsung S24 with OS 14. This worked fine on App Companion 2.71

Did you upgrade the BLE extension to 20240822?

If you have adb set up, run adb shell on your machine and then in the shell run

ls -alR /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/files/assets/external_comps

I'd like to see what the output of that command looks like.

Very interesting... What is the output of the mount command?

Also, does your device have a physical SD card inserted, if applicable?

Well, I had to google to find out if the tablet had a card slot
I checked the slot and there's no additional SD card.

Ok, thanks for that info. I'm working on a possible fix and will update the initial post once I'm done.

Hi Evan

I tried your SIMPLEAPP_1.aia and it works fine - both in debug and build versions.

I then when back to the version I sent you which still does not work!,

I now see the difference is I need to use Permission.FineLocation instead of "PERMISSION_FINE_LOCATION", has this syntax been changed recently?. I have been using text strings for over a year with no problems!

Kind regards,

Ian

I've updated the QR code above to point to a new version of the companion, version 2.72d4, that includes a potential fix.

The proper string you wanted was "ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" but you had put in "BLUETOOTH_FINE_LOCATION", which doesn't exist. Using the Permission blocks prevents these types of errors. The blocks themselves have been in App Inventor for a few years now.

Note that if the device you're connecting to isn't a location beacon, you could try ticking the NoLocationNeeded property in the BluetoothLE1 component, which should prevent it from needing to ask for location permission.

Hi @ewpatton, the version 2.72d4 works fine!
I tested it with various projects that didn't work before, now the sqlite extension of Tom Bennedum works the same as the sqlite extension of TIMAI2 - also tested the Taifun file extension.
Thank you very much!

Hello,

when ignoring the Message Compagnion is now running!

2.71 MIT_BLE_controller12.aia on my Xiaomi Pad 6 Android 14 device is OK.

next, 2.71 -> 2.72d4 import project SIMPLEAPP_1.aia is NG.
In logcat, SIMPLEAPP_1 process will not be.
