Hi, most likely implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}" fails to resolve to version 27.1.1 correctly.

There are also issues with google package repositories right now so it might be indirectly related to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120759347, can you add

maven { https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools/ } after google() in both places where it appears in the build.gradle (buildscript and repositories)?

[GavinThomas1192]

I will add the maven and report back tomorrow.
I did try manually com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1 with no success earlier before posting.

[guperrot]

Hi,

I could reproduce the issue in another application.

Here is a workaround: edit node_modules/appcenter-push/android/build.gradle and add com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1 in the dependencies of that project.

The fix will be released in next version of the SDK but I don't have an ETA to communicate for the release today.

[GavinThomas1192]

Ok, thank you for getting on this so fast. I had to roll with firebase because I needed push yesterday. I will transition back at a later release since I'm distributing through app center.

[mojtaba-hajishah]

I had the exact same issue, and adding com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1 to node_modules/appcenter-push/android/build.gradle fixed the issue when generating an APK file.
I successfully generated an APK file, BUT, when I install the app with that generated apk file, I can't run the app. It crashes upon start.

@mojtaba-hajishah please create a separate issue with the crash stack trace (from Android logcat logs) and all the information requested in the github issue template.

[guperrot]

Version 1.11.0 fixes the original issue from @GavinThomas1192.

For other issues after the build step, please create new issues so that the template is used.

[mojtaba-hajishah]

@guperrot downgrading to gradle build version 3.1.4 fixed all of the issues for me.

[guperrot]

@mojtaba-hajishah good to know that worked for you.
