After updating the Retool Android app to v3.191.0 from the Play Store, the app crashes immediately upon launch. This issue is not isolated — we’ve tested it across multiple Android devices, and the app crashes on every single one where the update was applied. So far, we have tested on over 30 devices, with different versions of Android.
This has had a severe operational impact for us:
We have over 100 mobile users on Android.
Our field operations have come to a complete halt today due to this crash.
Clearing cache, reinstalling, and using different devices has not helped.
We’re extremely disappointed with this instability — especially considering the amount we pay for Retool. Reliability is critical to our operations, and an issue like this should never make it to production.
This isn't the first time we've experienced issues like this on the Android app. This coupled with Retools extremely slow support for non-enterprise customers makes it very difficult to run business critical processes on mobile.
We’ve identified the root cause of the crash affecting Retool Mobile v3.191.0 on Android and have submitted a patched version (v3.191.1) to the Google Play Store for review. Based on typical review timelines, we expect the update to be approved and available for download within the next few hours.
In the meantime, for users currently blocked by the crash, we’re providing a temporary workaround: Link here
You can manually install the patched version by downloading the APK directly from the link above.
Please note that this version has not yet been verified by the Play Store, so you may see a warning during installation. Follow on-screen instructions to allow the installation if you choose to proceed, and agree to update the current app.
