I have a widget that's created using jetpack glance API. It stops working once I do an app update. Can someone please help here? I will post the relevant code in the thread below

Data is updated perfectly in the widget till the app update. if i reinstall the app it works fine

[Kimon]

Did you have any widget related changes in the update? Like changing the receiver's package?

[Nizam]

no. I am suspecting this could be due to proguard issue. In the below code, I am trying to get the glanceIds using UsageResizableWidget::class.java which could return empty if there is obfuscation. I am debugging in this direction. thanks for the reply 🙂

GlanceAppWidgetManager(context = context).getGlanceIds(UsageResizableWidget::class.java)
    .forEach { glanceId ->
        Log.d("GlanceWidgetUpdate", "GlanceId usageWithMostUsed $glanceId")
        updateAppWidgetState(context, glanceId) { prefs ->
            prefs[usageWidgetKey] = usageData
        }
        UsageResizableWidget().update(context, glanceId)
    }

[Nizam]

I confirm here that it was a proguard issue. Adding @Keep annotation to UsageResizableWidget fixed the issue

[Kimon]

Good to hear you solved it 😊

[Nizam]

Thanks for the great support 🙏

[Nizam]

this issue reoccured again 😞

[Wojciech Krystyniak]

hey @Nizam, did you fix it?

[Nizam]

No. This gets fixed if the user restarts the phone. Looks like some bug with glance library to me

[Wojciech Krystyniak]

Okay, thank you!
