Cannot start the game (instant crash)

Hey there,

I wanted to try the game but it crashes immediately after granting location access for the first time.

I use LineagOS 23.2 (Android 16) with MicroG and installed the app from the Aurora store.

I can send you some logs if you tell me how :D

Edit: You know what, I'll just fix it and push a hotfix. Give me an hour or so (:

Hey, sorry, just saw it.

I did find one thing: If you want to run MicroG you need UnifiedNlp installed/enabled, otherwise there is no "network" provider for the location backend.

Disable MicroG for now and it should work. Or install UnifiedNlp. If it still crashes, you can connect your phone to the PC, enable USB debugging and run adb logcat to see what errors you actually get.

I could change the code to not need the network provider (which is used for network fallback, like getting a quicker location fix over Wifi etc.), but relying solely on GPS signal alone is pretty slow, especially indoors. My call to AndroidLastKnownLocationProvider would also fail, I'd have to wrap that too..

No worries :)

I think I already have Unifiednlp enabled:

With apps like Osmand or Organic Maps I usually get a GPS fix within a few seconds indoor. So I think the assisted GPS works good enough.

I installed the APK you provided in the other comment. It works flawlessly now! Vielen Dank dafür <3

As a one time thing so you stop crashing, give this version a try.

I'll also publish it over the Play Store, but it might take a bit until it hits Aurora.

Viel Spaß damit :)
