Problem with Android app migration from Delphi10.3 to Delphi 12.1

[Fabian1648 3]

Hello,

 

I have a problem migrating an Android app from Delphi10.3 to Delphi12.1:

1. I had to modify the permissions management because the app was making errors at compilation

2. I had to reset the Manifest

And now on Android 10,11,12, it works, but on Android 14, the app launches, displays the splashscreen and then closes!

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance

Not sure why you would expect anyone to know without any detail whatsoever as to what your code is doing. You could use a logcat viewer to view what messages are coming from the device when the app attempts to start. See this link:

Hello,

 

1. I used logcat and only two error messages appear in 450 lines but the log continues after these errors:

2. The cause of the problem could be related to the following warnings:

 This RECEIVER_EXPORTED / RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag was introduced as part of Android 13 and seems to be now a requirement for apps running on Android 14 or higher.

 

 

3. The app compiled with Delphi 10 works perfectly on Android 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14  without this RECEIVER_EXPORTED / RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag !?!?
 

 

4. The app compiled with Delphi 12.1 works perfectly on Android 10, 11, 12, displays a wrong splashscreen on Android13 (icon of the app and not the splashscreen) but works perferctly and crashes at startup on Android 14!!!

 

5. I created a new project "Hello word" with Delphi12.1 and the app works on Android 14 withoud add a notion of RECEIVER_EXPORTED / RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag

 

6. I created a new project with Dephi12.1 and I imported the original project files of my app (unit1.pas, etc) and the app crashes on Android 14

 

 

Does anyone have any experience with Delphi, Android 14 and this notion of RECEIVER_EXPORTED / RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag?

You might like to read this: https://developer.android.com/develop/background-work/background-tasks/broadcasts#context-registered-receivers

 

..and remember that I asked about what your code is doing. Presumably, part of it is registering a receiver at runtime, and it is not including RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED in the flags when calling registerReceiver.

Hi,

 

I've solved my problem by changing a line in my TDataWedgeBroadcastListener.Create:

TAndroidHelper.Context.registerReceiver(FReceiver, LIntentFilter,2);

instead of

TAndroidHelper.Context.registerReceiver(FReceiver, LIntentFilter);

the value "2" corresponds to the Andoid flag RECEIVER_EXPORTED.

 

 

Thanks for the help
