When trying to update an app (the last update was 10 months ago) and I get this error:

B4X: Copy 
java.lang.VerifyError: Verifier rejected class com.my_app: java.lang.String com.my_app._my_method() failed to verify: java.lang.String com.my_app._my_method(): [0x268] Rejecting invocation, long or double parameter at index 0 is not a pair: 15 + 0. (declaration of 'com.my_app' appears in base.apk!classes2.dex)

B4X: Copy 
Sub My_method
Dim MyData As Double = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
....
End Sub

SelectedItem returns a string

I tried this but it doesn't work either:

B4X: Copy 
Dim MyDataStr As String = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
Dim MyData As Double = MyDataStr.As(Double)

Report your error and log.
B4X: Copy 
log(MyDataStr & TAB & MyDataStr.length)
Dim MyData As Double = MyDataStr.As(Double)
'Same as
Dim MyData As Double = MyDataStr
'Both will fail if MyDataStr.Length = 0 or MyDataStr has non-numeric characters (for example $,_: or - in the middle)

Not much to go on then. Which of the two lines in #3 causes the compile error?
1. is spnSpinner initialized
2. is MyDataStr used elsewhere with a different cast than string (or as an array)
3. is MyData used elsewhere with a different cast than double (or as an array)
4. does Dim MyDataInt As Int = MyDataStr work?

1. From designer
2. No
3. No
4. Yes

Try:
Code: Copy 
Dim MyDataStr As String = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
Dim MyData As Double
Try
            MyData=MyDataStr
Catch
            Log(myDataStr)            
            Log(LastException)
End Try

The 15+0 which I see, is suspicious. Is this an item of your spinner?

In post #5 you said it happens during compilation but post #7 looks like a runtime error to me. Which is it?

Is spnSpinner1 a standard Spinner and what is the type of the items you are adding to it? Show the code fragment that adds the items to the Spinner including the Dims for those objects.

I'm sorry I don't know the difference, it occurs during the start of the application, it doesn't complete it

allow me to add to the confusion:
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) distrusts all loaded bytecode as a core tenet of the Java Security Model. During runtime, the JVM will load .class files and attempt to link them together to form an executable — but the validity of these loaded .class files is unknown.

To ensure that the loaded .class files do not pose a threat to the final executable, the JVM performs verification on the .class files. Additionally, the JVM ensures that binaries are well-formed. For example, the JVM will verify classes do not subtype final classes.

In many cases, verification fails on valid, non-malicious bytecode because a newer version of Java has a stricter verification process than older versions.

Thus, when linking older .class files with a newer JVM, the JVM may throw a java.lang.VerifyError

There is one item in your spinner list that could cause an error if you have your locale set to use the alternative number format (12.123.123,39).
"112.5"
That's probably why the answer to "Does Dim MyDataInt As Int = MyDataStr work?" is YES

I also tried to replicate the problem, but no luck. Did you try it in release mode?
While in debug mode the first time, I saw something similar to your error.
Note that the assignment statement happens early in the Activity, before anything is really selected.
Maybe the layout is not fully loaded?

B4X: Copy 
Sub Process_Globals
    Public ArraySpinner As List
    Private ModuleDataArray As ModuleDataArrayCls1
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    Private spnSpinner1 As Spinner
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    ModuleDataArray.Initialize
    spnSpinner1.Clear
    spnSpinner1.AddAll(ModuleDataArray.ArraySpinner)

    Dim MyData As Double = spnSpinner1.SelectedItem
    Log(MyData)        'nothing is selected yet - default is first item - i.e. 15
End Sub

B4X: Copy 
Sub Class_Globals
    Public ArraySpinner As List = Array As String("15", "30", "45", "50", "75", "100", "112,5", "150", "160", "225", "200", "250", "300", "315", "400", "500", "630", "750", "800", "1000", "1250", "1500", "1600", "2000", "2500")
End Sub

'Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.
Public Sub Initialize
 
End Sub

I have tried this but it doesn't work either:

B4X: Copy 
Public ArraySpinner As List = Array As String("15", "30", "45", "50", "75", "100", "112", "150"...

If I declare the variable like Int yes it works

Yes, I just tried in release mode and it works

With ModuleDataArray.Initialize, it doesn't work
