Kivy app crash immediately (SIGABRT)

Versions

• Python: 3.7.1
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04.2
• Kivy: 1.11
• Cython: 0.29.9
• Android: 9 Pie (EMUI 9.1, Huawei P30 Pro)
• Buildozer: 0.40.dev0

Description

1. buildozer android debug deploy run
2. app starts on the phone, show Could not extract private data and die

I fixed tarfile.py: I changed itn(info.get("uid", 0), 8, format), to itn(info.get("uid", 0), 12, format),. It was the only way to make it work.

I spent a lot of time to figure out how to fix it, found a lot similar problem, but there was not any solution.

buildozer android debug deploy run

#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

please check that you have the same error in your logcat as the one shared in original post before commenting or adding a “me too” there are lots of unrelated possible reason for your app to crash, don’t mix these issues in the same post.

[dera001]

SIGABRT occurs if theirs is a CPU intensive operation happening while the app is still launching or thread operation going on check the imported modules for methods that might cause a low memory faults, on_start of the app.
