Hello MonoGame devs. I’ve been away from MonoGame for a bit and I’m diving back in.
I downloaded the latest MonoGame/Xamarin and when I make a new project from scratch and run it, I’m getting a crash in both debug and release mode.
Within about 30 seconds I see the logcat printing some lines before it explodes.
D/dalvikvm(18492): GREF has increased to 2001
I think it’s telling me the Global References increased to 2001.
Here’s more of the log.
GREF has increased to 1901

Now I think that’s telling me that something in the default templates is not finding an expected class and maybe it’s moving the class not found reference to global references over and over.
Funny that I know what that means now. I’ve grown from padawin and know JNI kung fu.
Is this a new issue and has the rest of the MonoGame/OUYA community updates to the latest.
I need to get in touch with some Gurus and get the code updated and maybe let Xamarin know.
Thanks and it’s good to be back!
I haven’t seen that myself, but then I haven’t created a new project for quite a while. There has also been some restructuring happening in MonoGame recently, but that should not have had any effect on GREFs. I’ll have a look when I get home tonight to see if I can find anything.
I filed a bug with Xamarin, so at least the log will contain what class it was looking for with the class not found exception occurs in JNI.
Another issue is when the global reference count causes the stackdump, if you were debugging in Visual Studio then you get stuck debugging on that line, and VS is no longer responsive.
Still blocked by the GREF leak issue on launch for Android and OUYA builds.

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
Here’s a better stack trace when compiled against master.

Do you have a small project that reproduces this?
I ran master against Android just a few days ago without issues.
What device/Android version too might be useful.
I tried all the previous MonoGame versions and I’m running a custom build. No repro project is necessary because the default empty project reproduces the issue. The custom Android build is missing some unknown class and MonoGame/Android keeps looking for that class (without logging what it is) and runs out of global memory.
I suspect code like this.
var getId = jni->findClass(“some class I want to know”);
// throws exception, but code doesn’t check for it
jni->addGlobalRef(getId);
// use that class, gets exception
// and repeat, try try try again
I’m going to try a different Android build, known to work which should fix my issue.
Solved my issue. I was on an engineering build instead of a user build. My bad.
I’d be interested in still knowing which class is missing…
What is an Engineering build?
Just a custom build of AOSP labelled “engineering”.
This issue is totally resolved and MonoGame is working great.
