Android Crash on startDiscovery

[basvkl]

After installing the connectSDK plugin and adding the code, the android app crashes moments after startDiscovery executes.

There's no errors with installing the plugin and it works fine on my iOS app (phone and emulator) and on my android emulator.
I couldn't find anything about this message anywhere, so I hope someone can help me out with this.

This is the error I'm getting:

Same issue here. It happens when a chromecast device is discovered.
Did you find any solution/reason?

[basvkl]

I tried for a couple hours to get past that error, but nothing seemed to have worked.
I was hoping the creators of this plugin would be able to solve this issue in time. But since you're still having this issue, it doesn't seem like it

I seem to be having the same problem on Android - works fine on iOS. Anyone found a solution yet?
@ba4z - did you figure out what the problem is? I think it might have to do with gms versions.

I have the same problem. After some investigation, I think it could be due to conflicting versions of google-play-services jars. Our project also includes cordova-plugin-google-analytics, which depends on a different version of some of the google-play-services jars. Removing the analytics plugin made my app not crash anymore.

I hope this helps others struggling with the same problem.

EDIT: I ended up forking the google analytics plugin and fixing it's version of gms jars to be what connectsdk requires. Things work now.

Glad you got this working @mtkopone - in my case, I am not using GA at all. In recent versions of google play services, google has split up the play files into different aar files and the recommended way to add play services is via specifying build.gradle deps, which I am doing with 9.0.2+ - the only other library I use which uses gms play services is plugin push which works just fine. ConnectSDK continues to crash.
