Android Bundle Error

uyanik · July 14, 2021, 11:32am

Hi,

I am trying to create android debug bundle. I am receiving “Failed creating universal APK” error. What should i check?

Thanks

Are there any spaces in the path where the project is bundled?

Any non-ascii characters in the file path?

uyanik · July 14, 2021, 1:41pm

No. I choose “C:\Match3” for the path

Could you please start Defold.exe from the command line and check the output for clues?

Our try the command line tool bob.jar?

Hi,

I tried from the bob.jar. I got same error. You can find log below.

Thanks

That is really helpful and quite surprising. Which version of Defold are you using?

uyanik · July 14, 2021, 7:35pm

1.2.184

Thank you. I will take a look soon.

The error “Not a valid enum ‘universal’ of flag --mode” comes from the Android bundletool. When checking the code for version 0.14.0 which we use in Defold the value should be converted to uppercase before checking against the enums:

github.com

google/bundletool/blob/0.14.0/src/main/java/com/android/tools/build/bundletool/flags/Flag.java#L218

    
      
          private final Class<T> enumType;
          
          
public EnumFlag(String name, Class<T> enumType) {
            super(name);
            this.enumType = enumType;
          }
          
          
@Override
          protected T parse(String value) {
            try {
              return Enum.valueOf(enumType, value.toUpperCase());
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
              throw new FlagParseException(
                  String.format(
                      "Not a valid enum value '%s' of flag --%s. Expected one of: %s",
                      value,
                      name,
                      Arrays.stream(enumType.getEnumConstants())
                          .map(T::name)
                          .collect(Collectors.joining(", "))));
            }

But for some reason it fails in your case…

I wonder if it might be locale related somehow? Which locale/language do you use in Windows?

britzl · July 15, 2021, 11:22am

I am building a test version of bob.jar with mode set to “UNIVERSAL” instead of “universal”. It should be available here in about 30 minutes:

@uyanik I would be thankful if you could help me by testing this version.

uyanik · July 15, 2021, 8:33am

I am using Turkey location and Turkish language in windows.

uyanik · July 15, 2021, 8:36am

It worked. Bundle is created. I attached new log file. Thank you.

Yes, it is indeed a locale problem. Lowercase “universal” converted to uppercase with Turkish locale results in UNİVERSAL (note the İ). Can be verified with this Java program

import java.util.Locale;

public class ToLocaleTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Locale.setDefault(new Locale("tr"));
        String lowerCaseStr = "universal";
    	String upperCaseStr = lowerCaseStr.toUpperCase();
    	System.out.println("Lower case is '" + lowerCaseStr + "' and upper case is '" + upperCaseStr + "'");
    }
}

We will submit the mode in uppercase to bundletool to avoid this.

The change has been merged and should be available in the beta version now.

uyanik · July 17, 2021, 5:15pm

I tried beta version. It worked.

Thank you for confirming!
