apache common-io dependency conflict with proguard about android-exif-extended HOT 4 CLOSED

you can exclude the included commons-io library by adding this to your gradle build:
compile('it.sephiroth.android.exif:android-exif-extended:1.0.5@aar') {
transitive = true
exclude group: 'org.apache.commons'
}

and adding this to the android container:
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
}

from android-exif-extended.

I tried as you said but it doesn't seems to work, proguard complains about not finding IOUtils class and if I add a -dontwarn directive I can build but it crashes when trying to access the class. The other library making the conflict is couchbase-lite-android. Thanks anyway for your answer, I will stick to including sources in the project for the moment.

I have no problems with the above solution (the same I'm using in another project).
I have to say I'm using 'commons-io:commons-io:2.4' in that project

Ok after some more tries, I found I forgot to add the commons-io dependency in the project after excluding it from your library reference, thinking it would be taken from the couchbase library dependencies. I'm not very at ease with gradle yet, but it seems to work now. Thanks
