Help with apk for Amazon App Store / crashlog
Hi everyone,
Little problem here with the Amazon App Store. I successfully published an app on GooglePlay and want to publish on Amazon too now. I followed this tutorial here that advises to build an android project with Unity, edit the Android Manifest there and add the "uses-amzn-sdk" and then put it in an Android folder insider a Plugin folder in the project. Then build an unsigned apk. (I do not use any special service, IAP or anything)
I did all this and uploaded it to the Amazon App Testing Service. The general test was fine but with the device test it sais it crashed on all Amazon devices. I don't have a Kindle fire to test myself. I don't really understand the logfile from the test and what could be causing the crashes. If it crashed on every single one, it must be some general thing and I cannot find any help or advice with this..
Has someone published to Amazon App Store before and can tell me how he prepared the apk for it? And/or can someone take a look at the attached logfile and help me figure out what's causing the crash?
Thank you!

As always I answer my own questions hehe. If anyone has the same problem and did what that tutorial says: Don't do it. Do not include the uses-amzn-sdk. Only if you want to target Fire devices only.
Also my problems where obviously caused by a java.lang.Runtime.Exception due to a wrong entry that Unity puts into the Manifest if you export as Android Project. Just export the normal apk from Unity but unsiged and don't put in a Manifest manually if you don't use any additional plugins or services that require it.
I did that and the apk went through Amazon Testing Service just fine without crashes. Sigh ...
