@exxbrain Do you have an idea?

[exxbrain]

@NiklasMerz, I think using sources instead of aar will help. It looks not so hard to make this change.

[NiklasMerz]

Using sources should also fix #209

[jarekskuder]

I still have this problem when using 3.0.1 version

[mread1208]

Same, still having an issue with 3.0.1 and cordova-android 8.1.0. What does "Use Sources" mean? Can you give code example?

[mread1208]

I was able to get around the issue to get the build created at least.... but I doubt it's the best solution. I haven't tested in a production env yet so I don't even know if that it fully works and I half expect there to be issues whenever we start testing the next Android version.

Our app uses the cordova-plugin-proguard plugin to allow us to configure some of the proguard settings. I followed the steps in the "How to use" section to create a proguard-custom.txt file in the project root and added this line:

-dontwarn com.exxbrain.android.biometric.*

Again follow the steps on the npm plugin page, after creating the custom txt file, you have to first remove the plugin and add it back:

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-proguard
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-proguard

Then remove the android platform and add it back to take in the new changes

ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova platform add android

Then do production build: ionic cordova build android --prod --release --keystore='keystore.jks' --storePassword='yourpassword' --alias='alias' --password='yourpassword'

Again... seems like a band-aid solution and probably doesn't actually fix the real issues of not being able to find the libs... I wonder if we need to move this project to androidx now?

[NiklasMerz]

This should be gone with the latest version
