Revision history [back]

I'm raising this again as 2 years passed from last duplicate, maybe something changed.

Installed latest Skype from "jolla" Aptoide store. It crashes 9 times out of 10. But it's working sometimes.

Here the output from journalctl -f

DatabaseUtils: Writing exception to parcel

Maybe that will ring any bells for someone. I'll gladly dig in deeper if you'd point me to the right direction.

P.S. WhatApps behaves almost like this. Instead of crashing it never allows me to register.

SOLUTION: Give android apps access to contacts.
