Android Build: Failed: Can't add element from array property

Bugs
#1

I recently updated Defold to 1.3.5, and can’t get Android to bundle my game anymore.

Before it really starts doing anything useful, I get this error. There are no log files in the Android build folder. This error occurs on both MacOS and Windows 10.

Failed: Can't add element from array property

When I tried using bob.jar directly, there was additional line logged that mentioned a client_id.

I tried making a new project from the Asteroids sample and it worked fine, so it seems it’s related to my project. Any advice on what to check?

#2

Ate you using extensions. If so, which ones? ( i.e is the client_id related to one of them?) test by removing the extensions one by one

#3

I removed the extensions as you suggested, but no luck.

I also cleared out my custom bundle resources, Android manifest, and Native Extension manifest from game.project.

Very confusing since it builds fine locally for PC/Mac debugging. :confused:

Below are my Defold version and game.project. Seemed to work fine in prior versions, but I skipped a couple.

#4

I’ve done more experimenting.

1.3.4, 1.3.5, and 1.3.6beta all fail.

1.3.3 works just fine.

The more detailed error message from bob.jar is below. This happens pretty much instantly, like it hasn’t even called the build server or started a log file yet. Pretty bizarre.

Can't add element from array property
Cause: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "client_id"
#5

I see you have a custom manifest for Android. Check how it digfere from our built in manifest and see if there is some clie there.

#6

pls update your gpgs extension to version 2.5.1

that should help

Thanks @AGulev , that fixed it!

Weird how I was still getting errors after removing the GPGS extension, but maybe there were some cache files I needed to clear.

Appreciate both of your help! Back to Defolding :rocket:
