[4.4RC1] Android: Leaving Rendering Device Driver Set To Auto Crashes Exported Project

[MTareqAzim]

Tested versions

• Reproducible in 4.4RC1.
• Not Reproducible in 4.4 beta 4 and before.

System information

Android 13 - Godot v4.4rc1 - Mobile - Qualcomm Adreno 650

Issue description

PR #103026 added the option to select which rendering driver to be used for each platform. They also added a new default setting which is auto. Currently, leaving the setting for rendering/rendering_device/driver.android to auto causes debug exported projects to crash. Changing the setting to vulkan fixes the issue.

Possibly relevant crash log:

02-22 18:49:21.266 19681 19720 E godot   : ERROR: Parameter "native_window" is null.
02-22 18:49:21.266 19681 19720 E godot   :    at: DisplayServerAndroid (platform/android/display_server_android.cpp:700)
02-22 18:49:21.266 19681 19720 E godot   : ERROR: Unable to create DisplayServer, all display drivers failed.
02-22 18:49:21.266 19681 19720 E godot   : Use "--headless" command line argument to run the engine in headless mode if this is desired (e.g. for continuous integration).
02-22 18:49:21.266 19681 19720 E godot   :    at: setup2 (main/main.cpp:3015)

Additional concerns: Someone should probably check exports on iOS and MacOS as those are probably just as overlooked as Android exports.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a simple, exportable project for Android with default Project Settings.
2. Export project to Android.
3. Run project and watch it crash.

Extra steps to fix:
4. Change rendering/rendering_device/driver.android in Project Settings to vulkan.
5. Export and run project to see it work as normal.

Same on a Google Pixel 2 & Sony Xperia 10 VI, unsure of GPU but adding in the hope it helps

Will be fixed by #103144

[MTareqAzim]

Sorry, should just wait till it's merged in to close.

@MTareqAzim You can validate the fix by testing #103144. Simply download the Editor and android template from PR artifects in Checks tab.

Okay, it took a while since I had to compile it myself for the debug templates, the fix works for both the MRP I provided as well as my own Godot Project.
