fix: When updating the app by patching it, it stops after an exception occurs.

App ID: 8e78abcd-b845-485d-a9e7-3e91640eb0b1

Description

Hello.

This is an app that makes good use of the code push function. This time, after the new release set was reflected, the update was performed through a patch, but the app stopped after an exception occurred as shown in the image.

Steps To Reproduce

1. When I launch the app for the first time, it runs fine.
2. When I close the app and run it again, it stops at the splash screen.

Expected Behavior

This symptom does not appear if you build it with Flutter rather than the version built with shorebird.

Sorry you're running into this! Is the log output you pasted in the first screenshot the last thing your app outputs?

Yes, that's right. The first screenshot is the last log. The app will stop and you won't see any logs after this.

Due to this symptom, the patch version was deactivated 2 days ago (26.02.24), but the user continues to update the patch. When checking in Insights, it is confirmed that the number of patches exists.

Patch installs are reported to our system the next launch after the install. So those installs could have happened days ago and the user is just now re-launching. We should probably include a time of install in the install report.

To add to the confusion, our console only shows dates in UTC, which may not be your timezone:
#1761

The unhandled PlatformException could occur if a native change was made in the patch. Do you recall by chance if you're using --force or overrode a native change warning?

[song011794]

When building a patch, a text similar to the image appears. However, we compared and analyzed the code of the release set, and although there were modifications and additions to the dart code, there were no modifications or additions to native. I don't understand why there are changes in the dex file.
As far as I know, dart files don't affect dex files. Isn't that right?

[bryanoltman]

Dart does not affect the dex files, but it looks like something is causing native changes. Have any of your dependencies changed between when you released and when you patched? This could either be something you did manually or something that happened without you knowing if you don't track your pubspec.lock file in git.
