Update README.md #37

Closed benju69 closed 3 years ago

jfschmakeit commented 3 years ago

This library hasn't been tested (and is not supported) on Android yet - so this is actually a slightly bigger change than adding this section to the README.

It sounds like there are other Android-specific dependencies that are required - what are they? Ideally this section of the README is complete and would cover everything an Android developer would need to add to use this library. Was this dependency the only change you had to make to make it work on Android?

Yes I have problem with the last version on some devices I don't know, this is the only dependency I need, I have this message otherwise : io.grpc.ManagedChannelProvider$ProviderNotFoundException: No functional channel service provider found. Try adding a dependency on the grpc-okhttp, grpc-netty, or grpc-netty-shaded artifact

Maybe the readme can have a section explaining the dependencies used by the client, and what is grpc

(Sorry, this got automatically closed when we renamed the branch to main.)

I think there's a bigger feature request around well-documented Android support that would address this, unfortunately there have been some blockers in the past that made Android difficult to support with this library. ( In particular authentication and some dependencies - e.g. see issue #2 )
