DJI Fly App Crashes When Location Permissions Are Enabled

HeavenAlone

I’m encountering an issue with the DJI Fly app with the latest release on a Pixel 8 pro. The app works fine with location permissions disabled, but when I enable location permissions, it crashes. The issue seems to be triggered specifically by location access. Last time I used the app would have been 3/3, and it worked fine.

I’ve already tried restarting and removing/reinstalling the app, but the issue persists. Does anyone know of any workarounds or fixes, or have there been issues similar to this anyone has encountered?

I’ve attached the debugging log below.

Thanks in advance for any help!

soupslurpr

HeavenAlone have you tried exploit protection compatibility mode?

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

soupslurpr I have. it unfortunately did not work

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!

muhomorr

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!

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