Android app ClassNotFoundException for main activity

Question

Most of the devices can run my app but I got this error report :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.company.app/com         


        

Answer 1

I had exactly the same problem. Suddenly my app stopped working. I didint make any change to manifest, but with some accident there was missing first row:

This caused ClassNotFoundException for launcher activity. I was struggling with that for few hours and I overlooked this every time I was checking manifest for possible mistake.

Strange thing happened after I have deleted this row again. Suprise, suprise app was still working. (and I didnt forget to rebuild app)

Hope this help someone to save few hours.
