We are building chromium for Android. We have successfully added built the APK using commands provided here
We have created the build using below GN args.
target_os = "android"
target_cpu = "arm64"
android_channel = "stable"
is_debug = false
is_official_build = true
is_component_build = false
is_clang = true
symbol_level = 0
blink_symbol_level=0
use_unofficial_version_number = false
v8_use_external_startup_data = true
icu_use_data_file = false
ffmpeg_branding = "Chrome"
proprietary_codecs = true
exclude_unwind_tables = true
chrome_pgo_phase = 0
After that we have followed this android studio specific guide and generate a android wrapper project. Using this wrapper we are extracting the Java, XMLs, SO and other resources to build directly in android studio. We have done this successfully and the App is working fine but issue occures when we search.
The app crashes on any URL search (even chrome URLs such as: chrome://version) with below error by libchrome.so file.
error: unable to open file "/data/app/~~VZ6JSoritWLt73RxWsu5yg==/org.chromium.chrome-fCO_LyriifFjdrNCMbQC_A==/base.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a/libcrashpad_handler_trampoline.so"

After trying to find the libcrashpad_handler_trampoline.so we manage to find it in a build folder with GN flag is_debug = true.
But we want to build with is_debug = false and doing so the app crashed on search with above logs.
Please let us know if anyone have understanding on Chromium android, thanks.
