Fresh app works anywhere, except on Redmi devices!

Fresh Nativescript app (with no modification) stop working on Xiaomi Redimi 2 Prime smartphones. I have tested the same app on Sansung, Nexus, Genymotion and Android emulator. Everting goes well, except on Redimi 2. Here are the reporting log:

Redimi 2: Android 4.4
NativesScript 1.7.1

In my opinion JSON.parse() is failing since some service/server returned HTML (most probably server error) instead expected JSON.

Do you have some workaround to fix it?

[enchev]

Any more info what components are used or how to replicate this behavior will be helpful. Do you get this error in some of our default modules? Or this is somewhere else in your app?

This error get on a pure nativescript install.

1. tns create example
2. tns platform add android
3. tns run android

This works on every device I have here (motorola, samsung, nexus), but when I run it on Redmi 2 Prime, from Xiaomi, the app stop working and it is closed.

[calebeaires]

I guess it is not the case, but for notice Redmi uses android 64-bit version

[calebeaires]

Some news about this issue!?

Hi @calebeaires,
I couldn't reproduce the problem on nexus 6 (x64) and on several emulators, which leads me to believe it's a specific problem with the Redmi 2 devices as you suggested. Unfortunately we don't have access to such devices.
If you can provide us with the full log maybe we can assist you to find the problem. You can get the full

• log by running the command

adb logcat > a.txt

and you can paste send us the a.txt file or pasting it's content somewhere.

• in the app.js file at the top of the file write:

__enableVerboseLogging();

As @enchev pointed out, this line:

org.json.JSONException: Value <!DOCTYPE of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject

points to the problem being related to Json.Parse not being able to parse some HTML (probably an error page).

[calebeaires]

Debug logcat and terminal logs

1. logcat
2. terminal-prints

[Plamen5kov]

Hi @calebeaires,
please do:

 adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar .

and send us the file framework.jar
The file will be downloaded in the directory in which you ran the command.

[calebeaires]

Here is the file. I had to zip it, so I could send it from github
file.zip

[Plamen5kov]

@calebeaires, because the file contains no classes in it, can you list all files in the folder:

adb shell
cd /system/framework
ls -la

and paste the result here, so we can look for the size of each file there and find the right .jar file to download.
