Do you have Google Play Store installed? What is the source of the APK?

[Slayer5934]

Aurora Store is the source, do not have Play Store installed. Updated to 0.2.18.204714 with no change, FakeStore is also installed if that matters.

I can login without problems, I have MicroG core 0.2.18 and Android 11

[Axolord]

As noted in Issue #1435, it seems to be a problem with the newest Paypal app (version >7.38.1). Version 7.39.0 did not work for me (microG v 0.2.18.204714, Android 10, Havoc OS), while previous versions work fine.

[TheLastProject]

I can confirm this with com.paypal.android.p2pmobile version Version 7.42.3 on Android 10 with microG 0.2.19.211515, having the app installed from Aurora Store.

My crash log is as follows:

Hope this helps

Have you tried the latest version of microg already?

[TheLastProject]

I managed to update to 0.2.21.212158 (most up to date in F-Droid microG repo), sadly the crash log remains the exact same

[TheLastProject]

I have upgraded PayPal to 8.0.1 and no longer have any crashes. So the crash itself seems to no longer by triggered by more recent PayPal versions.

[Slayer5934]

Should be fine then, someone else can comment here if the issue still happens and I'll re-open.

[MrNessuno]

The last working version is 8.11, newer version will crash at startup

[TheLastProject]

Version 8.14.2 indeed crashes on my Android 11 (LineageOS for microG) with microG 0.2.24.214816 with the absolute weirdest crash:

The thing is though, I recognize no reference to play so if this is microG related it most likely has to do with microG returning an empty list somewhere and PayPal trying to use that later. Debugging this would probably not be easy at all.

The last working version is 8.11, newer version will crash at startup

I just checked, the last working version I can confirm is 8.12.3.

Microg 0.2.24.214816.

Moved my crash to a new issue given this one is closed to make is obvious to the maintainers the issue is not resolved: #1710
