LICENCE VALIDATION FAILURE

[SKHRAPP]

Purchased licence key and added inside androidmanifest.xml and makes APK run in the application still also showing "Licence validation failure invalid license key *****"

[anshulsos]

We are seeing this issue as well. The only thing that was changed was updating the library. LICENSE VALIDATION FAILURE. Please help.

Nobody is posting any information. No version, if you’re using Expo not. There’s a reason there’s an issue template you’re supposed to fill-out rather than deleting. If you don’t provide the requested info in the issue template, your issue gets ignored.

I suggest you check the CHANGELOG and update to the latest version.

[christocracy]

As expected, you failed to completely implement the required Android Setup Instructions, in particular the “Proguard Config”.

[anshulsos]

I believe that was the issue. It would be great if those instructions are also linked from the main readme file as an FAQ when implementing Android.

[christocracy]

It’d be great if people could just do everything marked in:

+green

instead of skipping it.
