As the title says, we are struggling to produce a working release version of our app using our normal pipeline in App Center. When I build the app via command line using the release flags locally, there is no problem with the output APK.
And likewise when the build runs on app center, there is nothing to suggest a problem with the build either, except once installed and ran, the app crashes immediately after the splash screen.
We recently upgraded to gradle 7.3.3 and as a result had to upgrade to JAVA 11 for this, and likewise add the environment key JAVA_HOME : $(JAVA_HOME_11_X64) to our environment variables on App Center.
Has anyone else encountered this.
The biggest issue is that without being able to replicate this in a locally produced release build, we can't work out how to debug the problem, the app center produced release build has no error logging whatsoever. It silently crashes.
The only concerning part of the app center logs appear to be as below.
EDIT: To make things more interesting, I added debuggable true to the release config of build.gradle, and that build ran fine.... don't know what that so drastically changed
