There's a post in Quality Central with a workaround:

[RSP-39445] Firemonkey android app PhoneDialer block applications startup - Embarcadero Technologies

Finally I found the problem.

If I add FMX.PhoneDialer.pas unit to the project, I get the black screen!

Even with the PhoneDialer DEMO project in "Studio\22.0\Samples\Object Pascal\Mobile Snippets\PhoneDialer" folder, I can't get it to work in my device!

Even the demo project has the "call phone" permission checked and ask for the permission when launching the app, BUT I can't run the app in my device! It just shows the splash icon and then stucks!

Can someone try to Run (F9) the PhoneDialer DEMO project and reproduce it?

Build Configuration: Release

Target: Android 32 -> Development

Hi, Dave.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will check this and even try to create a new blank project, step by step, replicating the one that fails, to see what's causing the issue.

I think that maybe it is related to file access permissions. The first form used in my apps is just a custom 'splash form'. Nothing else.

I remember a few years ago it was needed to create an .XML file with some info regarding file paths.

Or perhaps I have been including unnecessary files in the deployment that are not needed anymore, as these apps were initially created with Delphi XE, then Seattle, then Rio and now Alexandria.

I will post the solution if I found it.

Thanks!

HI!

Google requires the minimum sdk version 31 to upload/update apps to the Play Console.

I have updated the targetSdkVersion version in the AndroidManifest XML file manually to 31 instead of %targetSdkVersion%.

I also read in another post that I had to add android:exported="true" in the application section.

However, if I run the app in device, I only see a black screen and nothing happens. The app worked perfectly with previous targetSdkVersion (30).

Is there anything else I have to do for preparing my app for sdk 31, 32?

Thanks!
