apk tries to unpack assets into wrong directory about commandergenius

/data/user/0/com.my.app.debug/files will be accessoble from your app. To access it from adb, run this command in adb shell run-as com.my.app.debug I cannot provide more support, as I'm in the army right now.

The 1.2 version works fine when compiled on an Ubuntu Xenial but is quite dated (although i'll need to maintain it for a while or at least ensure i can maintain KitKat/Lollipop). I'm using commit 798fd0f <798fd0f> from 10/03/2022 on an Ubuntu Fossa and have been adapting scripts for the newer build but need to maintain access to /sdcard (that's out the window with Android 10 but that's another matter). The build compiles fine and the assets.zip file is placed in the apk as intended, however when the apk is installed the system tries to unpack the assets onto /data/user/0/com.my.app.debug/files (to which adb shell ls has no permissions so i'm guessing neither does my app) when it used to unpack to /sdcard/Android/data/com.my.app.debug/files. So the app it fails to start because it's expecting assets that don't exist. (Is does touch a file in /sdcard but is unable to replace it later with another file from assets because there is none. It closes "gracefully" when trying to open a nonexisting font.ttf, without ever showing either of the un/successful log messages. Works fine in Linux and Windows.) I've "backported" most of the definitions to old values, but no matter what i put in android:installLocation it always defaults to the same location. The older build works fine on the same device. Can you tell me what am i missing in order to get the old behavior? This is my env: ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/opt/android/ndk/22.0.7026061 ANDROID_HOME=/usr/lib/android-sdk NDK=/opt/android/ndk/22.0.7026061 ANDROID_NDK_ROOT=/opt/android/ndk/22.0.7026061 And the files i'm using: project/settings.gradle <https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/files/10383623/project_settings.gradle.txt> project/jni/sdl2/android-project/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml <https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/files/10383624/proj_jni_sdl2-etc-AndroidManifest.xml.txt> project/app/build-templace.gradle <https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/files/10383625/project_app_build-templace.gradle.txt> project/build.gradle <https://github.com/pelya/commandergenius/files/10383626/project_build.gradle.txt> — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#146>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AABF5QCH26Z3B3NFJ26FETLWRVZWZANCNFSM6AAAAAATW45OPQ> .

Use !!MyAssets|assets.zip so it won't show the dialog at start

Turns out the newest version expects AppDataDownloadUrl="!MyAssets|myassets.zip" instead of the previous AppDataDownloadUrl="|myassets.zip". Now the app loads the assets and starts as expected.
Well i get a black screen and the app seems dead, but that's another issue, possibly SDL2-related.
