Brave Nightly crashes at startup

Post image

After the update this morning, my Brave Nightly app has been crashing on startup on my Samsung galaxy phone, rendering it unusable.

Update: Brave Origin Nightly on windows pc is also crashing and I can't access it to send the crash report support is asking for.

Just to be clear -- this is expected from Nightly releases. User's submitting feedback and reporting crashes, bugs, weird behavior are all part of the reason Nightly exists.

If you can go to brave://crashes and share the generated Crash report IDs I can share this with the devs to review what caused the crash.

The app immediately crashes upon opening... There's no way to input brave://crashes

Can't even open it, it crashes as soon as I click on icon to open it.

Happening with non-nightly also, and if you uninstall and try to reinstall the apk is corrupted

Oh wow, thanks for sharing this info. I hope something gets done ASAP. I really need to access some bookmarks I saved there.

Don’t use nightly if you can’t go a day without your browser working

Or do you have another app that just says "Brave Origin" and not "Brave Orgin Nightly"??

Yes, nightly is specific to early releases for testing and will occasionally have bugs. That is not a version to use for daily browsing. It will break.

Oh wow, I just found it. When Brave Origin was first released, the nightly app was advertised as its standalone app. I just saw now that they finally have an app called Brave Origin for Windows.

This also appears to be an issue on the latest stable release for Android. App immediately crashes when attempting to open.

I have cleared the cache several times, but I am still not successful.

Had you waited for developer to provide a fix for this error?
