Android Packaging Error

[bma73]

I get an error when trying to create an Android package with the "Message ANE" included. I'm using the latest AIR Build (17.0.0.138) on Windows 8.1 64Bit.

Command adt -package -target apk-captive-runtime -storetype pkcs12 -keystore "cert\cert.p12" "dist\app-captive-runtime.apk" "application.xml" -C bin . -C "icons/android" . -extdir ane/

I'll look into this error. Are you using any other ANE's?

[bma73]

Yes, I'm also using com.distriqt.Application com.distriqt.DeviceMotion com.distriqt.InAppBilling

[bma73]

I tried the latest build from Github but unfortunately the error is still there! Is there any chance to fix it soon?

[marchbold]

What version of Java do you have installed on your machine?

[bma73]

I'm using "JRE (build 1.7.0_09-b05)"

Can you try using an older version of AIR, (16)? Just trying to rule out the possibilities here and there have been some buggy reports for 17 and Android

[bma73]

Just tried AIR version 16 and 18. Same errors for both...

[marchbold]

Does this error occur with the example application?

Hi, Could you try including the GooglePlayServices ANE ? Including this has solved a similar problem in one of our other ANE's

Due to several of our ANE's using the Google Play Services library the library has been separated into a separate ANE allowing you to avoid conflicts and duplicate definitions.

This means that you need to include the com.distriqt.GooglePlayServices native extension in your application along with this extension. You can access this extension here: https://github.com/distriqt/ANE-GooglePlayServices.

You'll add this extension as you do with any other ANE, you just need to ensure it's packaged with your application. There is no problems including this on all platforms, it is just required on Android.

Yep, that solved it... Thanks!

[marchbold]

No problems

This solution increases the app about 6MB - is this really the best solution?

We've found a better solution. The problem is an issue in the AIR packager on Windows however we've found a workaround that's been working in all our tests so far. Will be publishing this today.
