Error while wrapping Xamarin Android application using MDX Service 19.8.0

[Jahmai Lay]

I am attempting to wrap an application using MDX service. The application targets android 28, and uses android support libraries v28 internally.

The log is attached, but the problematic part seems to be:

 

W: Resource collision after merging assets/mdx/frameworks/1/support/appcompat-v7-25.3.1.jar
W: Failed to merge resources from assets/mdx/frameworks/1/support/appcompat-v7-25.3.1.jar
 

I suppose this is caused by the MDX trying to inject an older appcompat library where there is already a newer one and it's causing a resource collision.

 

How do I solve this?

Hello Jahmai,

 

I guess you are using MDX service on cloud to wrap the APK. Did you give it a try using On-prem toolkit ? 

 

Also, Cloud toolkit targets only version 26 , so when you are using v28 libraries it fails.

 

You can do the below:

 

1) Wrap using On-prem MDX toolkit

2) Follow  the article : https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX202382 to change the build tools version to 28  as below and wrap it 

 

PATH = /Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/24.1.3 ß This need to be changed to 28.0.0:/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools:/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Applications/platform-tools  

 

Hope that helps!

 

Please mark as answered if that fixes the issue.

It appears that MDX Service doesn't support Xamarin Android apps targetting Android 9...

Hi Kausar,

 

I don't have access to the on-prem kit yet :( I am trying to arrange access with the sales team but they haven't gotten back to me for a couple of days.

I suspected that might be an option so I will try it when I can, thanks!

Hello Jahmai,

 

Sure, no problem.

 

 We are yet to update the build tools version on our end on MDX service, but On-prem toolkit will be best option to fix the issue.

Confirmed by using the above steps, the on-prem toolkit successfully wraps our Android9 application. Thanks :)
