android14 branch not working in emulator

[projectgus]

I've been trying to get the emulator to run according to the instructions in app/development/DEVELOPMENT.md and the android14[*] branch (commit 1229cea) and Android Studio 2024.2.2, but I haven't had much luck:

Running the gradle app:provisionEmulator task appears to complete successfully (log output). I can see the emulator window at this point.

Running the runtime app-emulator config launches app:installEmulatorRelease and this seems to complete OK (log output).

Then Android Studio switches tabs and shows the run output:

2025-02-06 16:16:05: Launching app-emulator on 'seedvault'.
Open logcat panel for emulator seedvault

Default logcat panel output (filtered).

Same logcat without filter.

The emulator doesn't appear to do anything in response. If I manually open Settings -> System -> Backup then Seedvault doesn't seem to load at all:

Logcat for opening the Backup menu item.

All log files from this issue report can be downloaded from this gist.

When I have time I'll try again from the android13 branch.

Thanks for all of your effort developing and maintaining SeedVault!

([*] I had even less luck with the android15 branch, but it seems like that one probably isn't expected to work yet. Can provide details if useful.)

The docs you used may be outdated. Maybe what the CI does helps, because it works for sure there: https://github.com/seedvault-app/seedvault/blob/android15/.cirrus.yml#L20

That's actually the only branch that's actively maintained. I myself use a physical device for developing, not the emulator.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't clear enough, but was referring only to the emulator setup scripts (I noted it was using the API 34 system image, and it seems like adb remount doesn't work at all on the 35 system image - but I see the CI is using 34 so probably that wasn't something I needed to worry about.)

When I get some time again I'll try following the CI steps, and can maybe submit a PR for the emulator setup script. (My actual goal is to verify the fix for #858).

Awesome, a working and tested emulator script will be much appreciated!
