How to build geckoViewPlugin in android studio

[rick2909]

When building via the rebuild option i get

Execution failed for task ':app:externalNativeBuildCleanDebug'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command '/Users/ianphilips/Library/Android/sdk/cmake/3.6.4111459/bin/cmake''

so to build the .aar file i use gradlew assemble

after building it and renaming the 'app-release.aar' to the old name (is the necessary?) I get the following error;

Note: C:\Unity Projects\UnityOculusAndroidVRBrowser\UnityProject\Temp\gradleOut\unityLibrary\src\main\java\com\unity3d\player\UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':launcher:checkReleaseDuplicateClasses'.

I've never seen that error before unfortunately, but your built library comes out as app-release.aar? It should come out as app-debug.aar so that could be a clue. I just use the little green hammer in Android Studio. The out is at: build/outputs/aar/app-debug.aar

[rick2909]

yes that is build is made, what do I need to do with it. now I'm renaming it to geckoview-armeabi-v7a-80.0.20200818235255 in the folder ./UnityProject/Assets/Plugin/Android/

[IanPhilips]

just leave the name as it is and replace the app-debug.aar in UnityOculusAndroidVRBrowser/UnityProject/Assets/Plugin/Android/ with your newly built .aar

[IanPhilips]

The geckoview-armeabi-v7a-80.0.20200818235255 is the name of the underlying geckoview library from Mozilla that we use to create the Unity plugin. Unity uses app-debug.aar
