New calendar 5.0 crashing

[thegios]

I have KK 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.108
I have installed the new calendar 5.0 and when opening an event with monthly recurrence it crashes.

Same event opened on another phone/tablet of a different brand and with same calendar 5.0, works.

I didn't know this was released for devices not running Android 5.0. I haven't got this update to any of my devices yet. Did you get this update from Google Play?
For issues with the app i recommend that you send an email to apps-help@google.com

calendar 5.0 is not OFFICIALLY out but the APK has leaked

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/04/google-calendar-5-0-ready-4-0-3-devices-apk-download/

and we in the XDA community are running the first tests.

What we have found is the following:

Phone: Sony Xperia Z1

ROM: Kit Kat 4.4.1 Build 14.4.A.0.108

1. create an event

2. set recurrence to "Evry month"

3. save

4. open the event

5. calendar crashes

This appens only for monthly recurrence, not weekly and daily.

Also, this happens only on Sony Z1: I installed the same apk in a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2012 edition with touch wiz and KK 4.4.2 and it works without crashing.

Therefore we believe thois to be a problem only on SOny Z1 devices: would it be possible for you guys to try and check the error with  a log?

I have the logcat 😉

It seems the problem is here:

Could not find method com.android.calendarcommon2.EventRecurrence.repeatsMonthlyOnDayCountAllowNeg, referenced from method com.android.recurrencepicker.Utils.getRepeatString

I'm afraid i don't think i will be able to escalate an issue regarding an app from Google that has leaked before being officially released. I recommend that you wait for the final version to be released for all models.
A monthly recurring event works fine when i test it here both with our calendar app and the version of Google Calendar that's currently available in Google Play.

We already know that a monthly recurring event works fine with calendar from play store or from sony: we were simply hoping someone from support would try the leaked api and let us know how it behaves on z1, z2 and z3, to underpin the real problem
