The subject says it all really. On Android using the latest code from Github, attempting to load a UTF-16 encoded plist file with CCDictionary::createWithContentsOfFile() will cause a crash. Encoding the files with UTF-8 appears to not cause the same problem. This issue doesn’t appear to happen on iOS.
Here’s the ndk-stack dump:
