Mapbox-gl-native: Can't run 6.0.0-x on Lollipop?

Created on 4 Mar 2018 · 8Comments · Source: mapbox/mapbox-gl-native

Hi,
version 5.5.0 compiles and runs fine but 6.6.0-beta.3 has this issue on Android Studio when RUNNING the app (the project build runs fine)

Error:Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: invalid opcode ba (invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26)

and

Invoke-customs are only supported starting with Android O (--min-api 26)
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to pre-dex '/Users/qq/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/mapbox-android-sdk-6.0.0-beta.3.aar/deab756594fb90ee5107d36fe1944279/jars/classes.jar' to '/Users/qq/Android/AndroidStudioProjects/proj/maps/build/intermediates/transforms/preDex/flavor/release/5.jar'

I'm using Android Studio 3.1 beta but I had the same issue with the stable AS version

Compile SDK set to 27.0.3

I need to have minSDK 21 for the application though. Is version 6 running on that?

Thanks

Android support

Thanks for reporting your issue @leelx78. Our upcoming 6.0.0 release includes support for Java 8 features, therefore in order to run it (or any of the betas) you need to upgrade your project to include Java 8 support by adding this into you app's gradle file:

android {
    ...
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

or enabling Java 8 support for your project from Android Studio menu.
