Why do some Android phones cause our app to throw an java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError?

Question

We\'re experiencing a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError on some of the Android phones that are using our app in the market.

Problem description:

Answer 1

After having this issue myself and doing a bit of research (aka googling), I was able to fix the problem by targeting a lower SDK.

I had compileSdkVersion set to 20 (which worked on 4.4)

and also

minSdkVersion 20 targetSdkVersion 20

Once I changed them to 18 (I was in a position to do that without any bigger implications) I was able to run the app without problems on Lollipop.

Hope it helps - It drove me nuts for days.
