Apkbuilder stage error

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 12:04am

Hello everyone

I have a problem in exporting my project to both APK and AAB format and from what i saw in the community and since no one is reporting such errors now, i think it’s because the big number of extensions in my project (almost 50 ) and i can’t remove them because i need most of them. Does anyone have a solution for this? If not, can the staff tell us if this problem is going to be fixed in the next update or not? I really need a solution as fast as possible because my app must be posted on July the 19th so please help me.

BTW, when the app is published on Play Store, i’ll post it in Koded Apps category, you’re gonna LOVE it

I hope someone gives me a solution, thank you in advance!

More than one extension is colliding with another’s library.

vknow360 · July 12, 2021, 12:54am

Which extensions? Can you list them here?

BTW, i use some of your extensions (AsymmetricCryptography, CustomWebView, DateTools, Filey and ScreenRecorder) and they’re really amazing you helped me a lot! Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the community and i hope you can help me

As you can see, even the builder said i don’t have any error in my program and that’s because of an error in the ApkBuilder stage.

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 2:36pm

Is it ok to mention one of the staff members to give me an answer?

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 2:37pm

And how can i know which ones are they

vknow360 · July 12, 2021, 2:49pm

Now do one more thing.
Create a new project and import and drag all those extensions in designer.
After that try to compile.
If fails then remove one extension randomly and then try again.
Repeat the procedure again and again.
At the end you will get a pair of extension which can be incompatible with each other.

However, 6mb is (possibly) limit of extension’s size, in App Inventor.

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 2:52pm

Is there any other way to do this? With an extensions checker or something? Because it will take a lot of time to do this with 46 extensions (more than 200 possibilities)

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 2:52pm

I don’t have any extension that exceeds 1mb

vknow360 · July 12, 2021, 2:53pm

Unfortunately I couldn’t think of any other method.

Vishwas · July 12, 2021, 2:53pm

You could set up your own instance of App Inventor and go through the build logs to check which classes are being added multiple times. Or you could send your AIA to someone who would be willing to do this for you.

iamwsumit · July 12, 2021, 2:59pm

Which logs?
Are you talking about those that are shown in the git bash window when building app after running the AntRunLocalBuildServer?

Vishwas · July 12, 2021, 3:00pm

Yes

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 3:05pm

Unfortunately, my AIA contains paid extensions and also i worked very hard on the project and i can’t take the risk of sending it to someone else.

How can i do this? Help me please

And since you’re a staff member, can this error be fixed in the next update? Or at least let Kodular detect which extensions are not compatible with each other and let the user know, i’m sure it won’t be hard for such an amazing team that made this wonderful platform. Please can you help us and do this?

iamwsumit · July 12, 2021, 3:18pm

There are many guides on MIT
One of them

But it is not such easy process.

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 3:20pm

This must’ve been a lot easier if the staff helped us with adding a feature that tells the user if there are uncompatible extensions and i’m sure it won’t take from them more than 2 or 3 days they made such a powerful platform and i don’t think that doing this is hard for them, please help us

UnknownBeast · July 12, 2021, 4:03pm

If staff will do everything, what will u do

youssef_achour · July 12, 2021, 4:10pm

The whole thinking and imagination of the app and the creativity in making its UI/UX and the whole coding and thinking again about solutions for problems that happen often in my codes and improving ideas of your app and paying to donate Kodular and search for extensions to do more things than Kodular components do and searching for solutions for some of their bugged components such as In-App Billing and FTP and paying money to make my app just like i want then to make it succeed and caring for it and making updates and searching for bugs and crushes and helping other people in the community… It’s ok if the staff listens to some of our requests and try to add them especially those related to a bug in their builder.
