Android auto beta crashes at startup
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2026 7:40 pm
Hi, i've been encountering an issue since yesterday when Android auto crashes completely (flashes a black screen and then closes) on startup.
I suppose this is caused by a new server side change that occurred in the past days in the beta branch, the version i'm currently running is 17.4.663004.
I initially thought it was some sort of incompatibility with the old version of hudiy i was running: 1.2, but even after upgrading to trixie and to 2.18 the issue sadly is still there.
I've tried another phone running the standard release version 17.2 and it worked fine. I've also tried completely wiping all data of my android auto installation on my main phone and it briefly worked while still running the old UI, as soon as the server side changes occurred it broke again.
I've also attached a log hudiy made when I was trying to connect to my phone multiple times
