Author Topic: GMA-1467 - Gradle repositories issue  (Read 17329 times)

Dear Customers,

Since October 24th, building a Genero Mobile for Android (GMA) application can generate an error.

The error happened when the GMA build tool downloads the Google Gradle libraries from 2 repositories (google and jcenter). On October 24th, there was a change in the jcenter repository, whereas the repository no longer delivers some of the required libraries. As a result, an error is raised; the error is a library dependency issue.

To fix the problem:

    1 - Build your apk.
       You get the error message, but keep the "distbin" directory which has been created in the GST project directory.
    2 - Replace the file <project_path>/distbin/gma/project/build.gradle by the attached file.
       Create a backup of the original file before you make the replacement!
    3 - Rebuild your application.
   At this point, the build of the application should succeed. If it continues to fail, please contact your support center.

Sorry for the inconvenience. A quick search on the internet shows that other Android developers are complaining about the jcenter repository change - we are not alone! We hope that within a short period of time, the jcenter repository will work as expected.

Best regards,

Four Js - Support

Here is an example of error from Genero Studio output when you rebuild the Phonedemo.4pw project to create the Phonedemo.apk file :
