I have created a game for android and uploaded it to googleplay but when I run it (on my mobile) it freezes at "Downloading assets..."
I am using renpy 8.2.0, my phone has enough space to download and it has andorid 10
any solution?

The game also does not work when Google does internal tests to verify the operation of the application

I think you and I are trying to do the same thing at the same time! I did not run into this issue, but I've found this useful when debugging android updater issues:
You can find the log.txt in the game's files. For me, I had to adb shell into the device, then navigate to storage/emulated/0/android/<bundle id>/files. From there you can cat the log.txt (and errors.txt/traceback.txt if there is one).
Here's an example of how I do it from the windows command line, assuming your device is listed in `adb devices`:
Code: Select all
adb shell
panther:/ $ cd storage/emulated/0/android/data
panther:/storage/emulated/0/android/data $ cd com.downover.helloworld/
panther:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.downover.helloworld $ ls
files
panther:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.downover.helloworld $ cd files
panther:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.downover.helloworld/files $ ls
log.txt saves
panther:/storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.downover.helloworld/files $ cat log.txt

I have tried creating a new game, using renpy version 8.2.1. Renpy creates the .aab file and I upload this file to googleplay. When I test it on my phone it still stays on the "Downloading assets..." screen.
I have windows 10 and I have installed OpenJDK21U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_21.0.2_13
This is the log file, in case it helps

I am also 100% blocked on using the updater on android. As soon as I have time off from work I'll make example projects demonstrating the problem. One of my projects starts the downloaded game twice, causing errors anywhere 'default' is used. The other, a much larger project, simply cycles through the download over and over again, each time thinking that 3 files have been modified.
It's really frustrating debugging this because the log file is written to protected storage, so I have to modify Ren'Py to get it to write in an accessible location.

The log comes out over logcat, so you can get access to it that way.

That's good to know, thank you! I'll use that from now on.
Working on this today. I'll set something up in github with both the downloader and the downloaded game as minimal as possible and work up from there until I hit the problems!

A couple things:
* Make sure you're on 8.2.1 or the fix branch, as there have been a lot of fixes to this.
* There's also a known problem with Google Play. Your best bet is to contact @GooglePlayBiz on X, and see if they can fix it.

I don't think it does. I'm specifically talking about the logging in 00updater.rpy. I should see either "Verifying with ECDSA." or "Verifying with RSA." and I see neither. I also inserted a log into the start of the download() function and it does not display in ADB.
The only way I've been able to access that log is changing this line:
Code: Select all
self.log = open(os.path.join(self.updatedir, "log.txt"), "w")
to:
Code: Select all
self.log = open(os.path.join(os.environ["ANDROID_PUBLIC"], "updater_log.txt"), "w")
When I make that change, a file updater_log.txt appears next to log.txt and has a ton of info that's not in logcat.
I'll attach adb_logcat.txt, log.txt, and updater_log.txt to this post. adb_logcat.txt is filtered to the package name "com.example.downloader".

8.2.2 nightly fixed the issue that I was currently blocked on, but only on an actual android phone, not on an emulated phone - even an emulated version of the same phone!
I'll open a new post on the issue I see in emulator.

8.2.2 nightly fixed EVERYTHING for me! I'm not uploading to google play so maybe the bug you're seeing doesn't apply to my game stwkun.
Only issue I see is the emulation issue which is not a big deal for me. I logged an issue on github for it:

I am very interested in knowing how to solve this problem. I am also trying to upload a game to Android and this problem is not letting me (and I have already tried a thousand things), in my case the 8.2.2 nightly patch has not solved the problem, the game continues to show a “download of assets” infinite when I upload the game to Android it downloads it as an internal test.
I am going to provide a little extra information that may help you solve the error: if I make a new project in renpy from 0 and try to upload it to Google, this error also appears. I insist, a new project without any extra information, just the base with the phrase "You have created a new Ren'Py game."
If someone manages to solve it, please share the solution. Thank you.
