Hello,
I am trying to get a simple demo app going so I can learn to use the Android Device Setup Library. I have followed the instructions here. That is I have added “implementation ‘io.particle:devicesetup:0.5.3’” to my build.gradle for my app module. Other than that the app is an empty activity with an added button to call the initWithSetupOnly method in its onClick listener. When I try to build the app I get “Compilation failed to complete” with 5 errors.
Errors:
Invoke-customs are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26)
Message{kind=ERROR, text=Invoke-customs are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26), sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}
Caused by: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process C:\Users\Colin\.gradle\caches\transforms-1\files-1.1\cloudsdk-0.4.9.aar\19f92468c2e3734a4b7c4574815eb1cb\jars\classes.jar
Caused by: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Error while dexing.
Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.CompilationFailedException: Compilation failed to complete
Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.utils.AbortException
If I set minSdkVersion to 26 as is suggested by the error message the build completes successfully, but I was hoping to set the minimum version lower. I see that the Particle Tinker app has minSdkVersion set to 15.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
