scrcpy: Doesn't work after upgrading to Android 14

Tried compile dev branch

Did you also compile the server? (install_release() only installs the latest release)

Instead, download scrcpy-server posted on the first post, and replace it in /usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server.

@moe7863 No, the fix is in the first post of this thread.

I think 140a49b can fix it.

Please test:

 [`scrcpy-server`](https://tmp.rom1v.com/scrcpy/4467/5/scrcpy-server) `SHA-256: d3a1e798c490dd85e4bac19d5fb95b748f34f13c84676ddaa1f661ddb7ffc7e1`

This works for me for Device Share and Camera Share.

I think 140a49b can fix it.

this one works for me with android 14

Getting the same problem on macOS, also with a Samsung phone on Android 14:

Some added code in the vendor ROM (samsung-specific code) which causes issue if ActivityThread is not null but the configuration controller is null (because then thread.getConfiguration() throws a NullPointerException):

        if (CoreRune.MT_SUPPORT_COMPAT_SANDBOX) {
            ActivityThread thread = ActivityThread.currentActivityThread();
            Configuration currentConfig = thread != null ? thread.getConfiguration() : null;
            if (CompatSandbox.isDisplaySandboxingEnabled(currentConfig)) {

Let’s try to set a fake configuration controller:

Replace this binary into your scrcpy 2.3 directory:
