how to decode android crash logs / crash stack trace
- You need to use a tool called ‘addr2line’ from the Android NDK https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html
- Running the tool is done like so: addr2line -Cfe 
- Unity symbol files are found under the Unity installation path: <Unity>\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\Variations\mono\Release\Symbols
- Once the tool was launched, you can start inputting memory addresses, and it will output the function name

slow build from commandline
- dont use default compression?

app crashes on tablet (works on phone)
- see log, device starts running out of memory, so ActivityManager starts killing other activities

> missing sdk 30

use commandline to download 30 (unity 2019.4 manages to update it from that dialog)
sdk\Android\android-sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat ..SOMETHINGHERE..

> open android native file manager
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-open-native-file-manager.1129915/

> Get file size of local StreamingAssets file on Android
There is no easy way to do that.
The only way to get the size of file in StreamingAssets on Android is to read the header of the zip file (apk or obb).

remove app from recent apps:
o remove app from recent you just have to add
android:autoRemoveFromRecents="true"
to AndroidManifest.xml in <activity> tag.
Then Application.Quit(); will quit the app and it will be removed from recent list.

build and run:
"Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED: Install canceled by user]]stdout[Performing Streamed Install]"
enable install from ubs in the device (developer settings)

---------

manually install missing sdk version
"C:\Program Files 2\2019.4.14f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat" "platforms;android-28"
// https://forum.unity.com/threads/android-sdk-does-not-include-your-target-sdk-of-28.1002894/#post-6508023

wrong NDK 19 version

manually edit version from ndk settings file:

PROBLEM
WebException: Error: NameResolutionFailure
(happens with il2cpp build)

SOLUTION
Select  [x] internet access required in build settings

-------------

PROBLEM
build and run: Android device is not responding
adb devices shows it unauthorized

SOLUTION
unpluck and pluck again, click allow debugging

---------------

PROBLEM
Failed to extract Android SDK Platform version from string 'Q', 
Input string was not in a correct format.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

SOLUTION
Build still works, probably too new phone model?

--------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM
CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to update Android SDK package list.
x:/sdk/Android/android-sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat --list

SOLUTION
if have tools.backup folder:
rename tools/ to tools.broken/
rename tools.backup/ to tools/

---------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM
forgot keystore password

SOLUTION
use bruteforce tool (link)
or try guess within editor:
- first browse keystore file
- then enter password there, then try to select key below, if wrong pwd cannot select (faster to test than building)

----------------------------------------------------

PROBLEM
Cannot download old sdk gui tool, without complete android studio

SOLUTION
old archive version, run sdk manager updates after unzipping

SOLUTION
Disable [ ] multithreaded rendering

----------------------------------------------


I've learned that you can symbolicate the libil2cpp.so frames using the ndk-stack utility: https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/ndk-stack
The debug symbols are in a .zip file next to the generated .apk. You should be able to extract that file, then use ndk-stack to determine the missing frames in that call stack.
