Android [SOLVED] Android Builds Failing After GMS2 Update

Toxic Tom

Member
Hi all, I have a project created in GMS2 v2.1.5.322 which was building for Android successfully. Today I updated to GMS2 v2.2.5.481 and cannot build for Android.

I have followed the instructions described in this article: https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001368727-Setting-Up-For-Android-or-Amazon-Fire

There are several errors displayed on the output including "error: package android.support.annotation does not exist" which I have included below (only the end part of the output is included):
Code:
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "subst Q: "Z:/Block_Boi_95BA42C5\Android\default" && Q: && cd "com.toxictom.blockboi" && "X:/Android\runner\gradle\gradlew" build  assembleRelease  -x lint  "

WARNING: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' and 'api'.
It will be removed at the end of 2018. For more information see: http://d.android.com/r/tools/update-dependency-configurations.html

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the Android build working again?

Thanks,

Since 2.2.4 GMS2 had migrated to androidx following Google's push; you'll need to migrate to (delete old and redownload) latest GooglePlayServicesExtension from game options -> android -> general -> add-ons.
For migrating your own .java files, you can find guides here , gradle package mappings here, and class mappings here.

===
That said, I don't understand GMS IDE's android "support library version" settings anymore.. since it should have stopped at 28.0.0 .. we'll need to be able to adjust androidx versions later on.

Thanks but where is "game options -> android -> general -> add-ons" ?

Thanks guys! I found the Google Play Services setting, deleted it and reinstalled it but am still getting an error:

I fear this may be due to the Kaguva AdMob extension I am using to show AdMob ads as there is mention of "AdMobGM.java" in the output. https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/6614/admob-ondate

It looks like the extension was updated in January 2020, so perhaps updating the extension will solve the issue? Is there a protocol for updating extensions already used in a GMS2 project?

Update:

I downloaded the new version of Kaguva AdMob, and added it to the project, overwriting any resources that had the same name. The build is now working, and I'm now trying to make the ads show as they did before.

Thanks for the help!
