App Force Close in Gingerbread | App Framework 2.2 - Intel XDK 1816

I tried building APK's using many example code. It works fine for Android Version 4.0+ but it just exits after SplashScreen in Gingerbread. Please check the attached image for the error.

Built Using:
Cordova 4.1.2

Plugins:
Device - 0.2.13
Dialogs - 0.2.11
SplashScreen - 0.3.5

It happens with the Example Yoga Android app too.

Have you been able to run with App Preview on your Gingerbread device? Please try simple Hello world sample app with App Preview and APK and let me know if it works. Also, are you using Cordova build?

When you built your apk, what did you set for your minimum android version and your target android version?

Gingerbread is pretty old, and we dont do much testing on it. Also, depending on the Cordova version you are building with and the plugins you select, that could be causing the crash.

@SWATI S.

Version: Gingerbread 2.3.7
Cordova Build
Even the Intel App Preview is not working, app loads but Login button is unresponsive. I tried building Hello World sample app (CLI 4.1.2) and CLI 3.5. After installing those apk's, they just crash upon opening.

@JOHN H.

Minimum set @ 10, Tartget set @ 19

Attach you apk and I will install it on a 2.3.7 device tomorrow and let you know how it fares.

We do not test on Android devices prior to 4.0. The current version of App Preview fails to run on some Android 2.3.x devices, the precise reason is unknown. Since we do not test or officially support Android prior to 4.x fixing this issue is not a priority. Sorry, but Android 2.x is too small a market today, Android 4.x represents the major population of devices.

You can still build for Android 2.3.x, but debugging will be difficult.

Thank you John and Paul. I will try to test on more devices with 2.3.x and get back with the result.
