2. Copy your entire res/ tree out of your current project into the fresh project. 3. Try building. If the build crashes, then zip up the new project and attach it to the issue. Or, try winnowing out some resources (e.g., ones you might not want to upload) and see if the problem persists -- if the problem goes away, it may be tied to the resources you removed. If that doesn't crash, then the problem depends on other stuff (e.g., your original project's manifest, other build settings you may have enabled) and may truly be difficult to reproduce without uploading your original app, which I suspect you may be less than inclined to do. But if you really want this "TERRIBLE BUG" fixed, you really should consider at least trying to give the developers steps to reproduce the crash. ----------------- Providing steps to reproduce failures, whether in tools or class libraries or whatever, has been a standard of professional application development for a couple of decades now. I distinctly remember getting yelled at by engineers for failing to provide steps to reproduce bugs back as a summer intern in 1990, and I don't get the sense they were cutting-edge on that topic. It's also a quite common request in open source projects. For example, here is where Mozilla asks for steps to reproduce the problem: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Bug_writing_guidelines And Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage#Improving%20a%20bug%20report And OpenOffice.org: http://qa.openoffice.org/ooQAReloaded/Docs/QA-Reloaded-BasicRules.html And Moodle: http://docs.moodle.org/en/How_to_add_steps_to_reproduce_to_a_bug_report Heck, even not-really-open-source Microsoft is into the game: https://connect.microsoft.com/content/content.aspx?ContentID=3480&SiteID=168#BM8 As one person put it, "If your bug is not reproducible it will never get fixed."
