Android Question Google Maps crashes app

[cwt]

When my app attempts to display a Google Map it crashes with this from the log:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.apache.http.ProtocolVersion" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/user_de/0/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/m/0000002b/MapsDynamite.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/user_de/0/com.google.android.gms/app_chimera/m/0000002b/MapsDynamite.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a, /system/lib64]]

I did a lot of updating of my app a couple of months ago with updating the Android version, etc. and thought all was well but apparently not.

I am using the Google Maps library v2.0 and B4A version 9.30

Not sure where to begin looking - any help will be appreciated.

See the manifest editor code that is needed: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/google-maps.63930/#content

It was updated at some point.

I am not sure this is a permission problem. I implemented the runtime permission code indicated in your link for PERMISSION_FINE_LOCATION and still get the crash when the map is opened.

The log shows this in debug mode:

** Activity (googlemaps) Resume **

Does the log info above help pinpoint this?

By the way, I did not put the SmileyFace in the text above - the SmileyFace was substituted for ""

Substituted for a "(" followed by a ":"

Yes. I've already told you the answer in my previous post.

Erel,

Thanks for the help - I was missing this code in the Manifest:

AddApplicationText(
<uses-library
      android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
      android:required="false" />
)
