My company has been successfully maintaining a commercial application using rhodes for over 12 years, but we are recently having more and more of our customers reporting intermittent application crashes.
These crashes seem to occur more frequently with the app built using rhodes 2.5 than when we previously built with rhodes 7.3. But we need to build with rhodes 7.5 for the app to even install on Android 13/14 devices.
As it has been some time since rhodes 7.5 was released, I am working on the assumption that building with the latest rhodes, sdk, ndk may produce a more stable application. I have been able to get a successful build using rhodes 7.6.0.beta7, sdk33, ndk 25c, ruby 2.5.8 - but the app just crashes out as soon as it is launched (stacktrace at the end of this post).
I note that there has been some success building with ruby 2.7, but I have not yet managed to successfully configure a build environment other than from downloading the RhoMobile Suite - which still seems to use ruby 2.5.
So, my questions:
1. Is a full release of 7.6 likely anytime soon?
2. What Android version / sdk / ndk is currently recommended?
3. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I appreciate this is a community forum and that I may be better with some paid consultancy. This is a route I would consider.
Many thanks
Chris.
