godot: The default Godot 4.2.1 application crashes in compatible mode on the Redmi 4X with OpenGL ES 3.2

If you run project in pc with F5 key,it will let you select main scene.

I was able to run it with your project after exporting it, but not with the apk you provided, it pops up a popup like yours. After comparing the two apk files, I realized that you didn’t set the main scene to run, and the scene is missing from your apk.

Yes, it works on Redmi 4X! I think Godot 4.2.2 will not have this bug. When 4.2.2 will be released?

@8Observer8 a pull request was just created here.

I will soon create a Draft Pull Request as soon as I have found a solution for the GL-Context problem. https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/86112#issuecomment-1898564926

So far we have tried 2D projects, we still need to test 3D projects withspot light + shadow https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/86112#issuecomment-1896098062

Note: not all projects are optimized for OpenGL ES3. There are also Vulkan demos that do not work as they should on Android.

Yes, it works on Redmi 4X! I think Godot 4.2.2 will not have this bug. When 4.2.2 will be released?

@8Observer8 I have just fixed a bug that could be strict related to your, can you test the following .APK file and tell to me if works fine, please?

GLES3_Test.apk

From my tests on an old Android devices that works fine on GLES3 on others apps and crashes on Godot 4, I think the real problem with GLES3 Rendering AREN’T the old Android devices GLES buggy drivers, as many developers states, but a Godot initialization bugs of the GLES3 Rendering.

I’m currently working on the “Wrong Rotation Bug” but I will try to do my best on this too.

On my Samsung Tab (2016, Android 8) no problems with ‘MRP’: FirstProject.zip

but with your exported APK, what saierXP has already found out:

12-31 16:46:01.953 11228 11228 I godot   : Error: Can't run project: no main scene defined in the project.

I find this error strange ClassNotFoundException, also seen in your logs. I can only reproduce this in my projects if I have not selected the appropriate CPU architecture. In your APK file I see “/lib/armeabi-v7a” (arm32), but my old Samsung tablet is also “arm32”

12-31 16:46:01.792 11228 11228 I zygote  : Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.view.WindowInsetsAnimation$Callback" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.example.test-XMzITyU375If57l4l3H8Qw==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.example.test-XMzITyU375If57l4l3H8Qw==/lib/arm, /data/app/com.example.test-XMzITyU375If57l4l3H8Qw==/base.apk!/lib/armeabi-v7a, /system/lib, /system/vendor/lib]]

Seems like the APK are trying to using an Android 11 WindowInsetsAnimation API on an old Android version. I found a similar bug too. I think this would be to investigate too.

PS: currently I’m out of my office where I have some logcat with many of those errors occurred.

Unable to initialize engine native layer I could not find (result.zip)

You could still try ‘OpenGL Debug’, maybe we will see more when the problem with the “native layer” is solved.
