[Solved] App crashes in android restricted profile

John Harris1

We've been succesfully using the Android app for about a year. Recently our tablets using restricted user profiles have begun crashing the app upon launch. The admin profile works fine, just the restricted profiles fail. 

 

Our current app version is 3.2.0.341

Android version 4.4.2

 

What I've tried:

Cache Purge>reboot

Cache purge>uninstall/reinstall>reboot

Cache purge > uninstall > power cycle > reinstall using admin profile>reboot.

 

What happens:

Launch Smartsheet app> Popup:"Unfortunately, Smartsheet has stopped." >Click OK and another popup is revealed:"This app doesn't support accounts for restricted profiles"

 

As I already mentioned: this worked fine and now is crashing. Perhaps an issue with a recent update?

Hi Shaine!

I have already tried that channel and was told that the team could not help me with android issues. So I am reaching out to the community in hopes that the app developers or someone else may be able to assist.

Hi John,

 

Just received an update from our Development team on this. They're currently pushing an update to the Android app through that should become available within a couple of hours.

 

Check the Play store later today or tomorrow and you should find a new update to the Smartsheet mobile app.

 

Thanks for your patience on this!

John Harris1

Will do and thank you for getting this done!

Hi John,

 

Thanks for bringing up this issue, and I'm glad we were able to resolve it for you!

 



I'm a Product Manager for the Smartsheet Mobile team, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to share more about how your team uses the Smartsheet for Android app. Specifically, what are your main use cases, particularly when it comes to using restricted profiles? And is the use of restricted profiles simply due to the limitations of the hardware you’re currently using? That is, if you were to upgrade your hardware, would you consider switching to using multiple user accounts (supported in Android Lollipop and above) or Android for Work?

 


Any feedback you can provide would be valuable to helping us improve our app. You're welcome to reply in this thread or you can send me an email at jeanette.huang@smartsheet.com.



 

Thanks and best regards,


Jeanette
