Android: build issue with 9.0.5 or later

[kevin-do-zimplistic]

Like title say, I couldn't run Android when upgrade to the latest version. The previous one (9.0.4) run fine so I think it's the problem with Intercom 15.9.0 Android sdk.

But the weird thing is: I created a new Android native project and used Intercom 15.9.0 sdk. It runs completely fine. Maybe it's a problem on your configuration or I have to change some setting in my build.gradle file?

Anyway, here's the error. Thanks in advance

Getting the same error. Have locked the version as of now.

I'm trying to support both platormrs and am stuck having to use 9.0.4 for Android and 9.0.6 for iOS.
Please fix ASAP as this is affecting our userss

Could you please test the example app and see if it is running fine?

Tested the example app, it works.

I found the problem. We have to update the Gradle version to the same version in the example app. Closing the issue now

@kevin-do-zimplistic what file/files did you update?

[kevin-do-zimplistic]

@kevin-do-zimplistic what file/files did you update?

The gradle-wrapper.properties file, 2 build.gradle files. And depend on your current packages, you have to upgrade the packages in pubspec.yaml to latest version as well.

@kevin-do-zimplistic Thank you.
I downgrade my gradle version from 8.7 to 8.5 and upgraded Android Gradle Plugin from 7.3 to 8.1.4

Same here, we've been blocked with a major release for 4 days now, so it was at a very high business cost... Once the fix is out, it might be nice to add some tests to be sure such issues don't occur again? But glad a solution is on its way 🙏!
