Companion crash starting workout [November 2023] [3.52]

@shooj latest Companion App on Android crashes while loading a Workout.

I select the workout and get the new workout screen. When clicking on Start Workout, I can select world and route and after this, I can see Companion App tries to load into the game tile and workout screen for a second, then crashes. This repeats endlessly.

As soon as the workout is finished, Companion App can connect to the game tile and stays connected.

HI @Mike_Medwed

Shuji at Zwift HQ here. Can we get a little more information? Which workout were you trying to start when this crash occurred?

Hi Shuji,

I tried to start a custom workout, the xml files get generated from Final Surge. This has always worked before, the only difference I could spot is either the companion App update or the new workout screen.

Last custom workout I did was on the 26th of October, without issues. Sadly, I can’t recall if it was on the actual companion app version or the previous one. But the new workout screen (showing the workout steps on the bottom with a massive huge Start Workout button) hasn’t been there.

I usually selected my workout like this: Go to workouts, click on one of the custom workout tiles and get to the old workout selection screen where I can scoll down the list on the left hand side. Then I picked the one I wanted to ride.

Thats when I noticed something different since the list view was gone and the new workout screen appeared upon clicking on a custom workout tile.

If you like I can upload the workout.xml

Greetings, Mike

Hi Shuji, I got your mail and the workout .zwo file is on the way to you.

UPDATE November 16:

We’ve identified the cause of the crash in Companion v3.52 and are working on a fix in v3.53.
