created issue #1

Feb 6, 2018 02:05AM

This was already reported (

https://issuetracker.google.com/70193614) but was marked as won't-fix, and called an OEM issue, but this is definitely widespread (every app I've tried it in crashes w/ this crash) and is NOT restricted to one OEM. It's happening on all devices, just not 100% of the time - no idea what the trigger is, as I cannot reproduce myself.

The original issue:

Exception appears when calling startConnection on InstallReferrerClient object

Stack trace:

I marked the already reported bug as an OEM issue as it's observed only in Samsung devices.

Now as you mentioned it's occurring on all devices I'm happy to investigate it further.

- Can you provide more details about the affected devices?
- Also can you please tell me if you're using new Play install referrer API ? If so are you directly importing the AIDL instead of using Play Install Referrer API Client Library?

jk...@gmail.com <jk...@gmail.com> #3Feb 8, 2018 02:21AM

The original defect report actually does reference that it's happening in multiple devices, but here's info I have:

I am using the Play Install Referrer API Client. The crash, in the last 30 days, has been on over 100 users, over 389 instances total.

Any update on this? It has been 2 years since this issue was reported and this api will be used much more since the INSTALL_REFERRER intent being removed.

Are your engineer still working on this issue? 2 years have been passed still no reply from google team.
Now google has also stopped the use of InstallReferrerBroadCast.

And not it will really affect the attribution of many apps.

And *now it will really affect the attribution of many apps.

ma...@oyorooms.com <ma...@oyorooms.com> #9Feb 15, 2020 01:10PM

Total 201 Users affected due to the following crash and InstallReferrer Broadcast receiver will not receive the callback of referrers. So it means on such devices the install referrer attribution will not work.

is any one from google team try to look into it?

Just switched to use the Install Referrer Library because Google is removing support for the Install Broadcast. And now I'm seeing this crash come through in Firebase. Very frustrating!

[Deleted User] <[Deleted User]> #12Apr 5, 2020 09:20AM

Same crash here. We recently updated the Install Referrer Library because Google is removing support for the Install Broadcast and we see the crash at app launch itself

ce...@gmail.com <ce...@gmail.com> #13Apr 8, 2020 12:58PM

Same here. We added the install referrer 1.1.2 dependency and the app still crashes.

bi...@spotify.com <bi...@spotify.com> #14Apr 15, 2020 08:26AM

Can some one please provide an update or work around this?

[Deleted User] <[Deleted User]> #15Apr 23, 2020 08:16AM

Likewise we are having issues with this too. We're having to put a workaround in our app to deal with this but it means we will lose the attribution information for affected users.

If other apps work in the same way, storing the referrer info will be one of the first things done after installation, and if a user hits a crash right after install it's pretty poor UX!

And as others have said, this issue will start to become a lot more prevalent now apps have to use the referrer library and can't use the Intent mechanism we had available before.

ce...@gmail.com <ce...@gmail.com> #16May 1, 2020 04:26PM

Worth to mention that this issue is present in all the versions of install referrer released up until now.

Part of the problem is the InstallReferrerClient#startConnection method is not documented that it throws java.lang.SecurityException. Even updating the documentation would alert developers that they need to handle the throws case. Getting an undocumented exception was a bad surprise!

I have added only the below reference into my build.gradle to get an install referral from the play store but I am getting this error and it is a lot.

I have a stable repro for this when using install referrer library version 2.1. The app won't crash if the latest library version 2.2 is used. (Thanks for the fix.)

My repro steps: 1, Set up an AOSP 11 x86_64 emulator without Google APIs or Google Play; 2, Install the 3 packages from APK download sites: Google Services Framework 10 Google Play services 22.26.15 Google Play Store 16.8.17 3, Launch your app and when the code executes to the point where InstallReferrerClient.startConnection() is called, there would be a crash is the old library is used.

When GMS is mis-installed by a user, app would crash. GMS requires signature permissions to function and can't work if it's installed as an ordinary user app. Some OEMs don't ship their devices with GMS pre-installed, so some users may install GMS on their own, and if GMS is mis-installed by users, then GMS will lack of the necessary permissions.

Hope this helps.
