Hi!

 

I´ve detected an unexpected error (few weeks ago it didn´t occur)

When we press the back button (after open one item of a tab (feed)) the App crashes!!

Hey everyone, it's taken us a bit longer because it was three separate issues that needed to be tackled in order to fix this issue.  It shouldn't be much longer.  

We'll post our release notes as soon as it's available in the "release notes" section of Android help, so please check back in that section for the most up-to-date information.

Dan, "current bug fixes" don't matter when the app is 100% useless. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to compile a working Android app in the last 2 weeks, or if this just impacts apps that use the rss feed tab? I guess the "current big fixes" could be related to other types of tabs... Thanks for responding to us, it is nice to know someone is paying attention.

I understand Dan,  your position. we are impatient to have the solution ....

Working on getting this worked out. It's top priority on bug fixes for Android right now.

We cannot simply roll back the version of the Android code as you would lose, among other things, all of your current bug fixes at that point.

Hi Dan!!

I support the Cohen's commentary. You could come back to the previos version (it was wonderful and it work perfectly)

Thanks!!!

Hi Dan

any news ?

3 weeks passed without any solution, ok it's a free service but why don't you do a rollback of your last update ?

For the same application version, I can provide a apk ko and another ok, feel free to ask me, I really want to find a solution quickly.

Thanks

Ive spent the better part of two weeks trying to figure out why none of my app builds are working. We have been trying to launch our first app, and since it NEVER worked for us (first try was on 9/16/11), we figured it was our RSS feed being in a non-standard format. Lots of time potentially wasted. Any chance on getting this fixed?

I have the same issue.  All 5 of my buttons are RSS feeds.  You can go to any of the buttons fine, but hitting the back buttons crashes the app almost immediately.

(bad app)

Build #120327

App #312184

 

Here's the build info for a different app I built in June that does not have this issue

Build #78703

App #205439

 

Hope this helps track down the problem.  Anxiously awaiting updates so I can publish the new app. Thanks.

I`ve got the same problem!

The App crashes when any user hits back on their android handset when on the main page.

The issue is In your update made beetween Aougust and September. I don't have this problem before.

Your service / solution is so incredible that you have to give us back our toy

I have this same problem, I want to make a really nice app but I do not want the user to have to deal with this force close. Every app that I make with this has this same problem. This happens on the Droid and on the Droid X. Can you fix this please.

I want to build a lot more apps and I like this appmakr the best if only it did not force close.

Help please.

Thank you sooooo much.
