Issue building Facebook SDK on Android (SOLVED)

Questions
1

I have added the Facebook SDK as per these instructions and Google Play Services as per these.

When building for Android I get this error:

Line 58: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'value' with value '@integer/google_play_services_version').

What am I missing?

Update: I tried to change the “/builtins/manifests/android/AndroidManifest.xml” to the one in Facebook and GSM, which produced a sea of new aggressive errors.

Share your list of dependencies here and I’ll give it a try myself.

Those will be merged into your base AndroidManifest.xml that you specify in game.project.

Oh, wait, hold on. The instructions for the Facebook extension are not correct (I should have noticed this when we discussed a clarification earlier today regarding https://defold.com/manuals/facebook/#installing-the-extension). Facebook no longer needs extension-gps. This is solved by Gradle. Remove extension-gps from your list of dependencies.

Also I strongly recommend that you do not depend on the master branch of any extension. Don’t depend on:

https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/archive/master.zip

Instead always depend on a specific version:

https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/archive/2.4.0.zip

(from https://github.com/defold/extension-facebook/releases)

Updated now. Sorry about that.

Done, and it works! Thanks a lot for having a look.

I’ve been meaning to do just that, thanks for the kick up the backside. I was able to change all dependencies above using a specific release, apart from these (they didn’t seem to have any releases other than the dynamic link):

https://github.com/britzl/defold-metrics/archive/master.zip
https://github.com/GameAnalytics/defold-openssl/archive/master.zip

It’s a good habit to do it for all extensions that have released versions at least.

I have so many Defold related projects on GitHub that I completely forgot about this one! :slight_smile:

Coming up to release, so I feel good for doing it now. Who knows what will happen between now and the next update.

You do have quite a few ones, so I’ll let you off. This time!
