Hi @devesh053, can you give us a repro for this issue?
Also, could you provide more details about your setup? For example, your setup, the rive-android version you're using, your SDK, etc.?
In fact,
libjnirivebridge.soisn't used anymore in our latest versions, have you tried upgrading?devesh053 commentedon Sep 25, 2023
Hi ,
This issue is happening only on x86 architecture and on crashlytics it was showing Google mainline device.
I was using rive version 5.0.0 in my app.
DJPretorius commentedon Sep 26, 2023
I was having a similar problem and @umberto-sonnino suggested I should upgrade the library to v8.3.0. Thats the second to newest version on Maven Central. Now I'm getting an
UnsatisfiedLinkErrorwhen I run my app on Android API 21.The error reads
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider androidx.startup.InitializationProvider: androidx.startup.StartupException: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "stderr" referenced by "/data/data/co.example.app/app_lib/librive-android.so"...devesh053 commentedon Sep 26, 2023
@umberto-sonnino will upgrading to rive version 6.0.0 resolve the issue ?
devesh053 commentedon Sep 27, 2023
Right now , I am using 5.0.0 , will upgrading it to 6.0.0 will resolve the issue . Not sure of taking version 7.0.0 to production
umberto-sonnino commentedon Sep 27, 2023
Without a repro, I can't tell for sure.
Past reports mentioned that this error was coming up only in the Play Store - are you sure that these are tied to real users?
I'd highly recommend upgrading anyway, we changed the build process significantly in the latest iterations, and that might solve this issue for you.

@DJPretorius this is a different bug as reported here. It's still unresolved and it seems to happen only on v21 devices
devesh053 commentedon Sep 28, 2023
This bug is not happening to real users , only happening to play store devices with x86 architecture .
umberto-sonnino commentedon Oct 4, 2023
If that's the case, I highly recommend upgrading to the latest version and checking if it still applies. The current report is related to an old version of this runtime.

Hi all. Closing this issue as stale. It's possible that the crashes are Play Store runners. If this occurs in a modern version of the SDK (v10+) we can consider re-opening.
