Ionic with crosswalk crash on open android 7

Question

I installed my ionic app with crosswalk on android 7, crashes everytime I open it. Works on every other android version. Uninstall crosswalk, still crashes on open. Any idea?

Thanks, P

Answer 1

I got it done by moving

<preference name="CrosswalkAnimatable" value="true" />

inside

<platform name="ios">

tag.

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="21" />
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="27" />

Answer 2

When you uninstall Crosswalk you have to delete the files on platforms/android/build/outputs/apk, then build again.

About the crash is a very know bug https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-7214. We have to wait or try to help.

Answer 3

I found a solution for this problem, but it was linked to 'com.telerik.plugins.nativepagetransitions' in my case.

If you have <preference name="CrosswalkAnimatable" value="true"/> in config.xml, set it to false, and remove nativepagetransitions plugin if installed.

Answer 4

Set android target sdk to 23

  <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="23" />

In my application croswalk version is 2.2.0 but it may also work with latest version 2.3.0 did not test with latest version.

 <plugin name="cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview" version="2.2.0" />

Now it will work with android 7 also. This is the only workaround I had. Hope this will help.
