[4.4-beta1.mono] Android app closes down on right-swipe if built with Gradle

[keendra]

Tested versions

This issue cccur in: 4.4-beta1.mono Gradle Android build
This issue does not occur in:

• Godot 4.3 Gradle/Non-Gradle
• Godot 4.4-beta1.mono Non-Gradle build

System information

Godot v4.4.beta1.mono - Windows 10 (build 19045) - Multi-window, 1 monitor - Vulkan (Mobile) - dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (NVIDIA; 32.0.15.6094) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8 threads)

Issue description

There's an inconsistency between building with or without Gradle since upgrading to Godot 4.4 beta 1 mono, in that if I build the app with gradle and drag my finger left to right in the app, it drags the window and closes it. This is not the case if I build without gradle.

Expected behavior:
I don't know if the desired behaviour is that this should be happening or not, but it should be consistent whether you build with gradle or not.

Actual behavior:
It's not consistent whether you're building with gradle or not.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new project using Godot 4.4-beta1.mono
2. Install the templates needed to build for Android
3. Export a project with Gradle.
4. Run the APK/ABB on Android.
5. Swipe right anywhere on the screen.

Observe the app sliding as if the system is interpreting the gesture for closing.

If this is a new, desired behaviour I'd like to know the best practice to disable it. I have a selection wheel so I certainly do not want the app to close down when it's swiped right.

Could you please let me know which Android device you are using?

Yes Huawei P20, also tested on Samsung Galaxy S8 where this occur as well.

Tested on Galaxy Tab S9 where it apparently does not close down

Thank you for looking into it so quickly. I have the editor from the artifacts but I don't understand how to get the template for this version, if I try to get windows-template from the artifacts it results in error and if I use the one for beta1 it won't recognize it as this version only says beta

You need to download the android-template-arm64, which contains an android_source.zip. When installing the Android build template, select Install from file.

Since I haven't made any changes to the template itself, you can also use the beta1 version and simply update the text in [Your Project]/android/.build_version to "4.4.dev".

Great, thank you! The issue does not occur when exported using the editor from your build, so it fixes the problem
