Delphi Alexandria 11.1 Android AAB from Play Store exits on startup
Hi!
Android app. seems working fine in debug or release (Development) mode on my Android device. But if I upload the AAB file to Google Play Store and install it from there it exits on startup. Not sure if it's a crash I have very little experience with Android.
The project is from the XE5 era. Tried: - Deleted the manifest file, so it was re-created by Delphi
- Did a "Revert system files to default" - Did a "Revert to default" in Deployment Google Play Store page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.embarcadero.MP4StreamEditorClient As I wrote it seems working fine if I start it through Delphi+USB and also if I start it after it has been installed by Delphi, just the Install and start from Play Store does not work. Any ideas? Thank you!

Loading dynamic libraries on Android is not that trivial, you will still have problems on some devices of some manufacturers. Here are 3 main tips:
1) Filename: ALWAYS suffix "lib", like "libbass.so"
2) Deployment:
On 32bit, the remote path "library\lib\armeabi-v7a\"
On 64bit, the remote path "library\lib\arm64-v8a\"
Also on 64bit, add the 32bit binary with the remote path "library\lib\armeabi-v7a\" and the condition "'$(AndroidAppBundle)''==''true'" (with the quotes). The condition you can only change via ToolsApi or manually in .dproj.
See how we do it: https://github.com/skia4delphi/skia4delphi/blob/eed4afbf8a34137a9bfa308bcb5ef87cee84abcb/Source/VCL/Designtime/Skia.Vcl.Designtime.ProjectMenu.pas#L219-L221
3) Loading:
First try to load using only the filename, and in case of failure use the library path + filename.
