5.0.0 fails to compile for Android about app_settings HOT 9 CLOSED

@navaronbracke it's reproduced in 5.1.1 android build

from app_settings.

I was getting the same issue. I just upgraded my kotlin version to 1.8.0 & build was successful.

from app_settings.

@emadd Does this reproduce with version 5.1.1, which was recently published? I can run the example app without issues.

from app_settings.

@pumano That is because older dependencies still use the kotlin-stdlib-jdk7 or kotlin-stdlib-jdk8. These two have been merged in newer releases of Kotlin.

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/75298544 for a better explanation.

But in short, you'll have to add this block (the Kotlin version is the one that you want to use, so 1.8.0 in this example)

dependencies {
    constraints {
        implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.8.0") {
            because("kotlin-stdlib-jdk7 is now a part of kotlin-stdlib")
        }
        implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:1.8.0") {
            because("kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 is now a part of kotlin-stdlib")
        }
    }
}

to your build.gradle. If you have apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' (which you probably do), remove these lines as well.

implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"

from app_settings.

@navaronbracke yes, thank you! I troubleshot it few hours ago and what I do:

update kotlin to 1.8.0
update gradle via android studio steps (few updates to gradle 8)
change kotlin-stdlib-jdk7 implementation to kotlin-stdlib
update target and source compatibility to java 17 (why not?)

It solve problem! @navaronbracke thank you!

from app_settings.

Java 17 is required for using Gradle 8 ;)

app_settings supports that Gradle version, hence the namespace attribute. But we have not yet switched over to using Gradle 8 in the package itself.

from app_settings.

I personally would downgrade to app_settings: 4.3.1 which does not produce this error, rather than modify default settings that could introduce bugs for the Flutter platform and other packages.

from app_settings.

@ex-tag You're going to have to keep your Java / Android Studio / Gradle / Android Gradle Plugin / Kotlin version up-to-date to avoid this kind of issue anyway. The problem is that the OP had outdated versions.

from app_settings.

@navaronbracke thank you for that issue) because of you I can update my project to 17 java and latest gradle :)
