Everything works in Debug Mode but Crashes in Release Mode. What required permissions are available in Debug Mode that are not turned on in Release mode?
EDIT
When I set Linking to None, I get past the first screen to my Login screen. However, when I added the Release permission Internet
, the first time it tries to read a remote Entity Framework Core Table it crashes.
EDIT 2
In Release Mode, if I check Use Shared Runtime
, the app runs fine.
EDIT 3
I have turned on Debugging while in Release mode Temporarily. The Following line throws a System.TypeInitializationException only in Release Mode:
if (_context.bma_users.Any(p => p.username == _name.Text) && _name.Text != string.Empty)
The answer was to set Additional supported encodings
to West
in the Android Options
screen under Project Properties
. It doesn't seem related but I was trying every possible combination and this finally worked.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE THE CRASH LOG:
Assuming you have Android Studio and no crash report service implemented (Firebase, Crashlytics, etc...)
You might want to see the crash log print first:
Log Level
to Error
.If you can't reproduce:
Next time it crashes, connect the device and do the same as above. Usually the log history will be available to view, scroll until you find the crash :)
Look for FATAL EXCEPTION
