[Development] Help needed to test Ministro 10.3, needed for Qt 5.4!

[BogDan]

Hi,

  Well the bug-type is Defect and is still opened, so, we'll have to wait for the next version and see what happens. A similar problem I've had with Android 3.0, back them they've screwed .dex class loading, but they've fixed in the next version.

Cheers,
BogDan.

Hmm... looking at the issue it seems to me that it is not going to be fixed, it is an intentional change.   They are tightening the platform from security point of view, and this change is similar to change that made removable SD cards much less useful in KitKat:  https://plus.google.com/+TodLiebeck/posts/gjnmuaDM8sn

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#MODE_WORLD_READABLE says it has been deprecated since API level 17, so I doubt they'll bring it back.

Ministro has had a good run, but unless I'm mistaken this
      basically kills it?

              a bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79478 introduced by Google in Android 5.0 final release apps that are using Ministro are not working anymore, on Android L preview it worked just fine. I hope in the next Android version Google will fix this problem.
