Android Question FileProvider crash at start

[jtare]

I added the fileprovider class to my project but it crashes at the start, it doesn't show in the b4a logs but in crashlytics does.
Showing this:

The attached project crashes too, I added the libraries and manifest code that I use in the real project to the fileprovider example, I can't tell if it is exactly the same error but it seems to be.

Any idea of what could be causing the crash? Thanks

Run this example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-fileprovider-share-files.97865/

Do you get the same error?

If so then the SDK is not configured properly. Download a new one as explained here: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html

That example runs fine. No errors.

The problem begins when I add the firebase libraries, the manifest code of firebase and the additionaljars.

I also updated all the suggested items in the sdk manager but did not solved the issue.

Try to disable some components until you find the problematic one. It is probably related to FirebaseRemtoeConfig.

This is the line in the manifest that causes the app to crash

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAdMob.FirebaseAds)

Post your manifestcode. Guess you are missing a important snippet

Check

FirebaseAdMob v1.6

Google has added a few new requirements to AdMob implementation. You must make these changes if you are using the latest versions of Android SDK libraries (firebase-ads 18.1.1+). Instructions: 2. Find your AdMob app id and add it to the manifest editor: 'This is a sample AdMob app id. You need...

You are right, I didn't implement all the requirements for admob, but only on the example project that I uploaded in the first post and in which I was testing, on the real one is well implemented.

What actually fixed the issue was updating the recommended items in the sdk manager but since I was testing on the example project with the wrong implementation of admob made it harder to spot.

Thanks @Erel and @DonManfred
