DJI Fly App Crashes When Location Permissions Are Enabled

soupslurpr

HeavenAlone have you tried exploit protection compatibility mode?

HeavenAlone

soupslurpr I have. it unfortunately did not work

de0u

HeavenAlone That looks like it might be a dynamic linkage problem. Is dynamic code loading allowed?

GrapheneOS

HeavenAlone You might have installed a base APK without the split APKs. Can you try installing it another way such as through sandboxed Google Play Store or another method? Where did you get the APK?

HeavenAlone

GrapheneOS I got the APK directly from the DJI downloads page. The issue with DJI is they have had their "DJI fly app" removed from the google play store for quite some time now. Which means the only way to get it is through their official downloads page (or previous versions through individuals who keep records through a google drive page). This obviously poses some risks, but is really the only way to use their drones properly... Which sucks, but it is what it is... Thanks for the response and if you know of another method of obtaining the APK I'm all ears!

GrapheneOS I'm going to buy the Google Pixel 8a, but since I see that the DJI Fly App in GOS is not working correctly, I'll wait for this to be fixed (or so I hope). From what I've seen, it seems that the GLSS settings in the app itself don't connect well with GOS's GPS services.

This is an app bug, likely triggered by Android 15 QPR2 update. There's a report of same issue on stock Pixel OS (see the attached video in post #7): https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=336149

Interestingly, this app works on 7th gen Pixel devices both on stock Pixel OS and on GrapheneOS.

HeavenAlone

muhomorr Ahhh fantastic. Thanks for getting to the bottom of that for me. It is very strange why 8th and 9th gens are experiencing the issue. Glad to know it's the app and not the os though. Was convinced it was the other way around haha. Thanks again!

GrapheneOS

Marking solved since it's known to be an app bug impacting the stock Pixel OS too and DJI needs to fix it.

Maruta

DJI Fly also doesn't work on my device, and I'm not finding any web results about the issue mentioned in this thread. Should I start a new thread and post my error log?

It's most likely the same crash. Does it have a lot of lines like this?

#00 pc 00000000000532fc  /apex/com.android.runtime/bin/linker64

emphasis on the linker64 part in the first few numbered lines. If not, I guess you can share logs and someone can take a look. If you see linker64 in the first few numbered lines, it's probably the same thing.

R0meoMike

I am having the same exact issue on my Pixel 9 Pro running running build 2025032500. Same errors in log. Anyone made any progress on a solution?

Looking at the DJI forum post linked above it appears OP gave up on Pixel9 and went to using his old phone... I don't have an old phone so I am trying to figure out how to get my current Pixel9 working again.

The last time I used the app was about a month ago and it worked flawlessly... now it crashes as soon as I enable the location permission.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated!!

Harbard

Hey there, just to be clear. Did anyone find a solution, or we're all stuck while DJI fixes the app for us ?

Thanks !

rafael2024

I have the same problem :(

Smolo

Same problem here on the pixel 8. no longer able to use the app.

user1234

Same issue. I have submitted a request to DJI, so I guess we wait until they fix their app.

i have same issue when i turn on location my app crash, when you turn off location app is not crash but you cannot use it, i have that bug already 2 month they never fix, i send 10 video proof, they dont wanna fix... its system bug not app fault

trenark

Hi, Pixel 9 Pro user here and same problem. Tried everything, I think i'll have to return to Android in some device.

GrapheneOS

Chriss22 That's not correct. Earlier, we confirmed the app's crash bug happened on Android 15 QPR2 in general, including outside of GrapheneOS. It was happening on the stock Pixel OS. That hasn't been checked recently but it was confirmed by our team that this was not specific to GrapheneOS but rather an app bug due to the app not testing on current Android releases. Non-Pixel devices only ship a yearly release and then monthly security backports, not the monthly and quarterly releases of Android. Android 15 QPR2 is the current major version of Android, the 2nd quarterly release. The latest release of Android 15 QPR2 is the May monthly update.
