How to build a particular app flavor on FDroid

batbrain7 · July 23, 2018, 7:24am

I have two flavors in the app, one is for playStore which includes the youtubeAPI library from google and other is the fdroid flavor which does not contain any proprietary software.

So whenever I build the app through fdroid this is what I get :

1 actionable task: 1 executed
INFO: Scanning source for common problems...
ERROR: Found usual suspect 'youtube.*android.*player.*api' at app/libs/YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar
WARNING: Found JAR file at app/libs/YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi.jar

INFO: Removing gradle-wrapper.jar at gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.jar
ERROR: Could not build app ai.susi: Can't build due to 3 errors while scanning
INFO: Finished
INFO: 1 build failed

So I want to know how to build only the flavor that I made for FDroid, and also how to exclude Pre-Build files on FDroid.

I want to know how to build only the flavor that I made for FDroid

gradle=flavor

also how to exclude Pre-Build files on FDroid

Not sure what you mean by excluding, but prebuilts are not allowed.

I have to add this in the metadata reference?

Licaon_Kter · July 23, 2018, 8:32am

Yes (adapt to your yml or txt):

Build
...
gradle=flavour
rm=<files to be deleted>
...

See here: Build Metadata Reference | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

I am facing this issue while removing the files :
INFO: Removing specified files
ERROR: Could not build app ai.susi: glob path ‘src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so, src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so’ did not match any files/dirs
INFO: Finished
INFO: 1 build failed

Licaon_Kter · July 23, 2018, 8:06pm

subdir=app

helps?

batbrain7 · July 23, 2018, 8:10pm

    subdir: app
gradle:
  - fdroid
rm:
  - src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so, src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so

this is my .yml file ,still the same result

Licaon_Kter · July 24, 2018, 7:42am

rm
  - app/src/...

Maybe?

batbrain7 · July 24, 2018, 7:48am

Even tried that , I do not know why the path is not matched,
In the first error message it shows that error path is
app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so
app/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so

now on adding this path too, to remove the files the error message still shows the same thing as

ERROR: Could not build app ai.susi: glob path ‘app/src/main/jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so, app/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libsnowboy-detect-android.so’ did not match any files/dirs

Licaon_Kter · July 24, 2018, 8:19am

You might need to separate them on lines not with comma (comma is for TXT files afaics)

  rm:
     - app/src/...
     - app/src/...

Thanks this worked, but right after this, I am getting again an error :

do attach the full metadata

Licaon_Kter · July 25, 2018, 9:04am

So is this? Replace exclude with filter in build.py (#531) · Issues · F-Droid / fdroidserver · GitLab

batbrain7 · July 25, 2018, 9:05am

yes this is the issue

batbrain7 · July 25, 2018, 9:07am

also even after downgrading to version 3.6.5 I get the following error :

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../.Python

It works (almost) fine with Python 3.6, what distro are you running?

Try to fix all those translations errors too:

is translated here but not found in default locale [ExtraTranslation]
Error: Non-translatable resources should only be defined in the base values/ folder [ExtraTranslation]
and another one

Ignoring that, now it fails right at the end with ERROR: Could not build app ai.susi: Wrong package ID - build ai.susi.fdroid but expected ai.susi which you might know how to fix.

at last finally I get this error , is this is a problem with the gradle version ?

Licaon_Kter · July 29, 2018, 6:57pm

Why do you run this?

I enter the data folder and run: $:~/fdroiddata-0729/ > ../fdroidserver-0729/fdroid build -v ai.susi:11

(I cloned the repos hence their names)

Tested with 4.7 too just in case, builds ok (except that Wrong package ID - build ai.susi.fdroid but expected ai.susi thing)
