Cannot build from source

[nikonakoneko]

Well, maybe I'm missing something stupid I never built android apps before.

With latest commit from dev branch I get an error about androidx features and gradle tell me to fix it by enabling androidx in gradle.properties:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.                                                                                                                                                                                [24/1359]

But if I do so, I have error about duplicated classes:

> Task :app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I also tried to build stable branch and last tag. But I cannot either because org.bitbucket.haibison:underdogs dependency isnt available anymore

Try beta branch.

[nikonakoneko]

this is beta branch

following the build instructions: https://envs.sh/h0K.svg
and trying what gradle tells me to do about androidx deps: https://envs.sh/h0z.svg

I don't have any issue building it locally. Even the CI job configured with the repo also able to build it without any issue.

Remove your gradle.properties (with android.useAndroidx=true) and it should build (with warnings).

There is some work necessary before android.useAndroidx=true can be enabled.

Sorry, I actually need gradle.properties to build otherwise I get similar errors to you.

The contents of mine is:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

@ukanth Should we add ./gradle.properties to the repo?
The CI build copies one from ./.github/ dir during the build.

[nikonakoneko]

Ok thanks, I'll try that later and confirm if it works

I remembered, it was left out for f-droid builds i guess. We can add it.
