java.lang.RuntimeException: Package manager has died

问题：

报错信息：

java.lang.RuntimeException: Package manager has died

原因：

PackageInfo中数据量太大了，在部分手机上超出了Binder可传递的最大容量，进而导致PacakgeManager崩溃。

解决：

因为我只要用到versionName和versionCode两个信息，所以不需要activity等信息，能不能让PackageInfo的信息量小点。

getPackageInfo(String packageName, @PackageInfoFlags int flags)它的第二个参数flag，使得该方法返回的对象容量减小。

public abstract PackageInfo getPackageInfo(String packageName, @PackageInfoFlags int flags)
        throws NameNotFoundException;

使用GET_SIGNATURES，获取的数据量相对较小。
