Unable to run (or build) the application on Android

[kmigntw]

Hi, I have the following error and it is impossible for me to run the app on Android. On iOS (where I have tested so far) it is working like a charm.

e: /Users/Home/Documents/SDKs/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/beacons_plugin-1.0.19/android/src/main/kotlin/com/umair/beacons_plugin/BeaconHelper.kt: (155, 24): Type mismatch: inferred type is String? but String was expected

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':beacons_plugin:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Compilation error. See log for more details

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 43s
The built failed likely due to AndroidX incompatibilities in a plugin. The tool is about to try using Jetfier to solve the incompatibility.

Exception: The plugin beacons_plugin could not be built due to the issue above.

Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Something wrong with the fix. I still see this row

LOG.e(tag, e.message)

instead of

LOG.e(tag, e.message.ToString())

P.S. I removed package from cache and install pacakge again.

The PR #36 is not include in the pub.dev version of the library. In other words the current version (1.0.19) does not have the fix. You can do it by yourself. Just go to the library source and edit it. For example where you call the library -> ctrl+click (cmd+click) on BeaconPlugin, then go to android -> app -> src -> main -> kotlin -> com.umair.beacons_plugin.BeaconHelper.kt and edit line 155

I understand but the question why? ;) I did so in packages.yaml:

beacons_plugin:
  git:
    url: https://github.com/umair13adil/simple_beacons_flutter.git
    ref: master
