@joshtynjala the Android build didn’t work for me :frowning:

Update Switching back to HAXE 4.2.5 and hxcpp 4.2.1 allowed to build a working APK

I built PiratePig from OpenFL samples haxe lib (https://lib.haxe.org/p/openfl-samples/)
The build was successful, but the resulting APK crashes on launch

My build set up is as follows:
Haxe 4.3.4
NDK 21.4.7075529
Java: OpenJDK 11.0.2
hxcpp 4.3.2
Lime 8.1.2
OpenFL 9.3.3

Any suggestions? :slight_smile:

Checked the previous discussions, looks like it’s not supposed to work until Lime is 8.2.+. Is it? :slight_smile:

…indeed, switching back to HAXE 4.2.5 and hxcpp 4.2.1 allowed to build a stable APK

#5

SDL Error
An error occurred while trying to start the application. Please try again and/or reinstall.
Error: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol “__atomic_compare_exchange_4” referenced by “/data/app/org.openfl.samples.piratepig-BgzsbLgcUjNKy7Hr5k-Fvg==/lib/arm/libApplicationMain.so” …

Using the older Android NDK r15c may also resolve the __atomic_compare_exchange_4 issue.

I have a problem with howler.js v2.2.3 (
I write to Issues · goldfire/howler.js · GitHub but seems the project is in inactive state.
As it is a big part of lime/openfl (html audio subsystem) may anyone became a contributor for it?)

I replace with v2.2.1. It is not a problem of lime/openfl.

Big thanks to @joshtynjala and everyone involved for maintaining OpenFL and Lime.
