Android App Compiles & Installs - Crashes Upon Launch

Dear RPG Maker MV support team and community!

I am almost totally new to making games using RPG Maker. I am however a skilled spriter (that is another topic) and know some basics of (Pokemon) rom hacking and such.

I have purchased RPG Maker MV especially because of the new export to Android feature/functionality.

I followed the process described in the help manual step by step and closely paid attention to everything. I managed to set up the environment and was able to compile my project into an APK successfully in said environment using the command prompt as detailed in the manual. Furthermore, also using the command prompt I installed my RPG Maker Game App sucessfully on my Android Device (A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2) which I hooked up to my computer via USB and on which I switched developer mode on, switched on USB debugging mode and did all else as required per the manual.

However, after having done all step by step and having paid close attention to everything, the App does show up properly on my device, BUT each time I try to launch it, it crashes upon launch, saying "Unfortunately, XYZ has stopped." or something to that extent...

Has anyone any clue(s) for me what I could do to amend this problem or what I could have possibly done wrong? Any help would be greaty appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance!

Yours,

Andi


P.S.: Here is a preview of my semi-autobiographicl account in the form of an RPG, called
"Andi's Adventure - The Quest for the Beer-Keg of Doom" for anyone who is curious:

Hey! I uploaded my game to my google drive and installed from there. Everything went well until I tried to launch it... "Unfortunately, Andi's Adventure has stopped."

So yeah I am back to square 1 there now. Any futher clues what could be the reason for the crash upon launch??

Thanks in advance for your suggestions (and patience lol).

OK awesome thanks a lot eivl!! I will zip the output files and upload to my google drive. Once I am done, I will share the link with you.

I am really grateful for your help and kindness, however I would like to be able to do it myself as this is only a short demo. Maybe we can find out together what went wrong in my process of compiling and installing etc...

Also on a quite different note, a real noob side-question: Is there a way how I can trim my game file as it is really just a very short demo or showcase as of now and still it is over 600 mb in size. So is it possible to trim the game down and if so, how would that be done? Thanks and sorry for the diversion haha!

Cheers!

Np.

Just delete files you do not use. Like music and sound.

There is a tool for this, but i am not able to find it on mobile, i can post it later :)

Oh great. A tool for that would be fantastic!! This way I don't have to deal with a 600+ mb game all the time when uploading to anywhere etc. Do you happen to know the name of the tool? I can google it up myself!

Thanks again!! :)

Found it already. It is called "RTP" (Run-Time-Package) but the latest version is for RPG Maker VX. There is no version for MV (yet).
Do you think the version for VX will work for MV games as well? Thanks again for all your help!!

[doublepost=1446994668][/doublepost]Testing on a webserver worked just fine.
Generating a apk file to see if i can reproduce the error.
