Phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner: Build failed with cordova android 7.0.0 and phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner 7.0.2

Created on 1 Feb 2018 · 46Comments · Source: phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

Build failed with cordova android 7.0.0 and phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner 7.0.2

Started with the Tutorial project for Ionic v1. Loaded the Facebook plugin (https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4) and Android compilation is fine. Added 7.0.2 Barcode scanner and now getting Dex compile errors of the form:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

I have had trouble with older versions of Ionic CLI, Facebook and BarCodeScanner in conflict, so I am suspicious it is related to that but am not sure nor know how to confirm.

Expected Behaviour

Build should succeed.

Actual Behaviour

Build fails with error
> java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Steps to Reproduce

ionic start BarCodeTest tutorial
cd BarCodeTest
ionic cordova platform add android
ionic cordova build android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook4 --save --variable APP_ID="<redacted>" --variable APP_NAME="bookship"
ionic cordova build android (this works)
cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
npm install --save @ionic-native/barcode-scanner
ionic cordova build android (this fails)

I get essentially the same error when trying cordova 6.4.0 as well, e.g. start a new project with the same steps except
ionic cordova platform add [email protected]
get same error.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated! A few other issues may be duplicates, I have tried the suggested workarounds there as well and none seem to be working for me (e.g. https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/issues/535 and https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/issues/595

viking2917 on 1 Feb 2018

btw I faced a similar issue with older versions about 8 months ago - the attached discussion on this issue (https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4/issues/507) indicates the problem is with barcodescanner and not facebook plugin. I'm not enough of an Android person to say but lots of investigative detail there...

viking2917 on 2 Feb 2018

I have the same issue. When both barcode and facebook4 run in isolation, build fails. When used separately without the other, build succeeds. I tried many versions of facebook4 plugin and found, on cli-8.0.0 with facebook4 version 1.7.4 and with the latest on barcode, build succeeds.

Thanks wizajay. That worked fine. I just removed the current version:

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-facebook4

and put on the 1.7.4 version

ionic cordova plugin add [email protected]

and it all compiled fine

leommoore on 8 Feb 2018

@viking2917 the facebook plugin includes the facebook sdk which includes a library that is used by many other Android SDK's. This is what is causing the _Unable to merge dex_ error. I don't currently have a work around other than using an older version of the Facebook plugin that uses an older version of the Facebook SDK.

macdonst on 12 Feb 2018

Thanks @macdonst; appreciate you looking into it. Like others I am using the @1.7.4 version with success for the moment.

viking2917 on 13 Feb 2018

Oy, thats not good. facebook4 is up to 1.9.1 - so it will be several revs behind.

Have you tried using cordova-android-support-gradle-release to align your SDK's?

@rolinger thanks for the suggestion; looks promising, except that I use the push plugin which the gradle-release plugin suggests will cause it problems. So I have not actually tried it.

Hello,
in my case, barcodescanner plugin has started blocking android project compilation suddenly. I used it for days without any problem and in a certain point it started hanging on transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug.
I haven't installed anything, no other plugins, nor the facebook plugin.

EDIT: in my case, I resolved removing this string:
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'
from the file:
(your_project)-barcodescanner.gradle

EDIT2: during my tests, I discoverd that my problem was caused by a sort of incompatibility with phonegap-plugin-push.

I had the same experience as @studiostart, this started breaking without any apparent changes on my part and my previous workaround of using 1.7.4 of the Facebook plugin does not help. I took the same steps as @studiostart, more specifically I deleted

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'

from the file

<projectroot>/plugins/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/src/android/barcodescanner.gradle

and then did

ionic cordova platform remove android
ionic cordova platform add android

And that seemed to fix the issue. I am too much of an Android n00b to know whether this causing some other problem I haven't though of, or whether this would make an appropriate pull request....

@macdonst do you think this is a hack or a general solution?

@viking2917 it worked for me, thanks!

@viking2917 's solution allowed it to build, but the plugin failed to run in my app.

Solution: rather than remove compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+', change it to compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1'

My story:
initial build fail terminal log:

Ionic CLI 3.10.1
Cordova 8.0.0
Android Platform version: 7.0.0

I found a note on Android's Documentation:

Note: Prior to Support Library revision 24.2.0, there was a single v4 support library. That library was divided into multiple modules to improve efficiency. For backwards compatibility, if you list support-v4 in your Gradle script, your APK will include all of the v4 modules. However, to reduce APK size, we recommend that you just list the specific modules your app needs.
ref: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/packages.html

Perhaps specifying which v4 modules this plugin depends on will be a better fix then simply removing v4 completely? Ah well lets give it a try.

I removed compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+', but plugin failed to run when I started the barcode scanner in my app. Got this error:

E/AndroidRuntime( 6096): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime( 6096): Process: com.sjs.ircsmartscan, PID: 6096
E/AndroidRuntime( 6096): java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager

Pretty clear the plugin depends on some v4 modules. I tried adding localbroadcastmanager as a dependency with no luck. Searching around for failed attempts to add this particular dependency lead me to a suggestion to add: com.android.support:support-v4:25.3.1 as a dependency instead. That worked! Now the app builds and the barcode scanner works!

@jfbloom22 Nice find. Thanks.

For PGB, I forked this plugin repo and edited the gradle file as @jfbloom22 had mentioned and using it instead. But still FB plugin works only with version 1.7.4

https://github.com/slickalpha/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/commit/177bcd04e209a85dcb5d838ea9997101336c4335

<plugin spec="https://github.com/slickalpha/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner.git" source="git">

    <param name="APP_ID" value="your_app_id" />
    <param name="APP_NAME" value="your_app_name" />

Hope to see a permanent solution to this issue.

Fix for the Facebook plugin was to force the Facebook SDK to version 4.25.0.

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-platform-replace

Then add to your config.xml

<platform name="android">
    <replace-string file="project.properties" find="regex:com\.facebook\.android\:facebook-android-sdk\:[\+0-9\.]+" replace="com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.25.0" />
</platform>

Finally run cordova prepare android

Works with the latest 1.9.1 version of cordova-facebook-plugin4

Hi to all. I fixed this problem. Steps:

Remove barcode scanner plugin.
ionic cordova plugin rm phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
Delete android directory from platforms.
Add barcode scanner plugin.
ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
ionic cordova build android = success

It works for me !

I have been working on fixing this issue for almost a week and Im getting nowhere. Ive tried everything and nothing makes a difference. Im literally at my wits end.

Could someone who has fixed the issue please post the versions of 'Barcode Scanner' & 'Facebook4' they are running. Along with their ionic info.

I feel like i have already tried every conceivable combination aswell as attempting to edit the barcodescanner.gradle file.

Much love and thanks to anyone who can help.

Hello. I fixed this problem with barcode scanner on ver 7.1.0, but now I merge some branch with other plugins and it breaks again !
Now I have barcode scanner v. 7.1.1 and no “Facebook” plugin and I still get “unableToMergeDex” error. I have it ! I already spent 3-4 working days trying to solve this problem, but it happened again ! :(

@hcassar93 here's my info. Happy to provide more info if you want something specific.

First, I have noted that my app and environment at least is sensitive to the order of install of the plugins. if I install barcode scanner first it barfs..

I install Facebook (v.1.7.4) (then other plugins such as Push), make sure I add the android platform after all that. then I install other plugins, and near the the end the barcode scanner

ionic cordova plugin add [email protected] --save --variable APP_ID="" --variable APP_NAME=""
ionic cordova plugin add [email protected]; npm install --save @ionic-native/push
.....
ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner; npm install --save @ionic-native/barcode-scanner

Because of various conflicts on plugins (I think unrelated to barcode scanner), I have to edit my project.properties file to set:
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.6.2

But again I think that's unrelated to the barcode scanner.

The way I got this to work, I created a clean ionic project and just tried to get it to build with no other components, googling for answers when I had problems. I just kept a log of the order I did stuff and the redid it in my project in that order.

Details:

Here's my plugin list:

rogiervandenberg on 12 Apr 2018

@hcassar93 looking through trying to see if there is any pattern between the various versions of plugins and Cordova and what not. Can you share your setup?

@ivanosire mentioned that a fix was merged into version 7.0.3.
Has anyone tried that?

This fix was similar to my solution above, but looks more correct: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/commit/16c97b7b6d0f845282d0633e65593ac263baaa58 Basically they moved the requirement for the support v4 framework from he gradle file to plugin.xml file. The facebook plugin also has a plugin.xml file and requires the android v4 framework. Line 64: <framework src="com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+"/>

jfbloom22 on 19 Apr 2018

I'm using the barcodescanner in my Ionic app (together with the facebook plugin). Here is, what I have done to get it working:

Aligning various versions of Android Suppport libraries (maybe this is optional): cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release --fetch
I have enabled multidex: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38027917/8019885
Changed needed facebook version: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49274288/8019885

When I saw @mgreg89 's comment, I thought: "I don't wanna do all that crap!" so I started with #4 cordova clean and it worked. I didn't even see @hiepxanh 's comment until now.

Ps there is no Facebook plugin in my app. I found several posts about this error & they all were regarding Fb plugin and they also all had the BarcodeScanner plugin which is what I added before it stopped working.

I got same error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

And I have managed to fix it so I am writing this fix because I have not find it on the internet...
To me looks like that that facebook plugin was not the only one making problem... but one of my plugins also added reference to appcompat library.... Aparently barcodescanner plugin uses this barcodescanner-lib-aar whcih depends on appcompat:26.0.2, so I edited projects.properties file like this:

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app

cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26+
cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:27.+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.5=com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.14.+

cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-telerik-imagepicker/starter-ignorelinterrors.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.2=cordova-plugin-telerik-imagepicker/starter-androidtarget.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.3=phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner/starter-barcodescanner.gradle

I put this project.properties in resources/android folder and added this entry to config.xml

<resource-file src="resources/android/project.properties" target="project.properties" />

Be careful with this when adding next plugin, because this line will always override that project.properties inside platforms/android folder, so updated it every time you install new plugin

These are my plugins:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="^1.3.3" />

I have been dealing with the conflict between barcodescanner plugin and facebook4 plugin for 2 days now reading and applying all suggestions without success, and just now I was able to build it successfully on Android, following these steps:

installed version 1.7.4 of facebook4 plugin
removed android platform
added android platform
installed latest version of barcodescanner plugin (somehow barcodescanner plugin doesn't get installed into android platform if I install it before adding the android platform. ios doesn't have this problem though.)
added fb_app_id and fb_app_name records into strings.xml (somehow these don't get written automatically)
builded the app for android
