Does not compile with latest Android Studio, Mac OS

[neilyoung]

Was trying to compile this as is with Android Studio Bumblebee. Does not work

Most likely because of this in AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS"/>

At least commenting it helps

Release build fails with:

> Task :app:lintVitalRelease FAILED
/Users/neilyoung/StudioProjects/original-dji-sample/android-videostreamdecodingsample/app/src/main/res/layout/activity_main.xml:94: Error: @id/activity_main_screen_shot is not a sibling in the same RelativeLayout [NotSibling]
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/activity_main_screen_shot"
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Explanation for issues of type "NotSibling":
   Layout constraints in a given ConstraintLayout or RelativeLayout should
   reference other views within the same relative layout (but not itself!)

1 errors, 0 warnings

Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.
> Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target.

...which can be overcome with this:

lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
}

[DJI-William]

Have you modified anything in the project? It can compile at my side, please look at your tool version. classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1' distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1-all.zip

[neilyoung]

Not a single bit. Settings are identical.

[neilyoung]

Repeated the procedure. Slightly different result. Debug build ok, but trying to generate signed release apk fails repeatedly with:

10:40 Generate Signed APK: Errors while building APK. You can find the errors in the 'Messages' view.

Message view:

Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.
> Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target.

In Android Manifest this line is underlined red:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS"/>

The warning tool suggest to add "Suppress add tools:ignore="ProtectPermissions" attribute.

The error is not disappearing if commenting this line.

./gradlew clean assembleRelease --info

:app:extractDeepLinksRelease (Thread[Execution worker for ':' Thread 4,5,main]) completed. Took 0.002 secs.
:app:processReleaseMainManifest (Thread[Execution worker for ':' Thread 4,5,main]) started.

> Task :app:processReleaseMainManifest FAILED
Caching disabled for task ':app:processReleaseMainManifest' because:
  Build cache is disabled
Task ':app:processReleaseMainManifest' is not up-to-date because:
  Value of input property 'variantOutput.outputFileName' has changed for task ':app:processReleaseMainManifest'
The input changes require a full rebuild for incremental task ':app:processReleaseMainManifest'.
Unable do incremental execution: full task run

Can only get rid of this with the lintOption above.

Android Studio:

Cloned the project like so:

git clone https://github.com/DJI-Mobile-SDK-Tutorials/Android-VideoStreamDecodingSample.git original-dji-sample and opened it from Android Studio as new project from original-dji-sample/android-videostreamdecodingsample/

Any questions?

[neilyoung]

Trying to build an apk works with the commented changes. Not trying to build an app bundle.

10:54   Generate Signed Bundle: Errors while building Bundle file. You can find the errors in the 'Messages' view.

Version code not found in manifest.

IMHO you can't upload a new app to the store since November anymore, which is not packed as app bundle.

EDIT:

Added versionCode=1 to android.defaultConfig. Builds then.

[DJI-William]

Change the MSDK version to 4.16 in build.gradle file and then click Build->Build Bundle(s)/APK(s)->Build Bundle(s), it will work.

[neilyoung]

No, versionCode helps definitely. No need to change MSDK. But this is not the main issue. The main issue is, that it doesn't built as is as retail version. I thought you would be thankful to hear from that. But you are free to ignore.
