Jar file is breaking my build

[waryder]

This is on the fringes of my expertise but hoping you can help. When I try to use your jar in my project I get the following compile time errors. ChatGpt is telling me it is likely a conflict between included libraries in the jar and similar that Unity is trying to use by default. Do you have any advice on how to resolve this? Does there need to be a new build of the jar that uses updated libs? Is there further info I can provide that would help diagnose?

Mine is an android project targeted at a Quest 3 VR Headset. I am using the latest Unity tools and Android min version had been set to 24. If I pull your jar out I get no build failures.

A Unity popup says: A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.DexMergingTaskDelegate See the Console for details.

From the console I see 4 items:

ebug', will keep symbols in binaries for:
'libunity.so'
'libil2cpp.so'
'libmain.so'
Variant 'release', symbols will be stripped from binaries.
WARNING: We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 35

This Android Gradle plugin (8.3.0) was tested up to compileSdk = 34.

You are strongly encouraged to update your project to use a newer
Android Gradle plugin that has been tested with compileSdk = 35.

If you are already using the latest version of the Android Gradle plugin,
you may need to wait until a newer version with support for compileSdk = 35 is available.

To suppress this warning, add/update
android.suppressUnsupportedCompileSdk=35
to this project's gradle.properties.

hi i'm also seeing this exact error, would love to understand the right way to solve this.. thanks

[paulhayes]

I can see the culprit is
Type androidx.activity.R$id is defined multiple times:
I've no idea why this would be happening, can you check the generated Manifest and see the id.

Jfyi, I've jacked with ble for months intermittenly trying to get something to work. I found this thing (no affilations just trying to help) and it is $20...but I have live candence sensor data in my vr app in two more hours of programming: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/bluetooth-le-for-ios-tvos-and-android-26661 Sincerely, Bill Ryder

Yes, that looks like the one. The final Manifest used in the apk, all the others are intermediates. So I don't know how, but I see two <activity> tags in the Manifest which I think is causing the problem. No idea how that's happening though.

We've had quite a few issues reported for Unity 6, and there's quite a few people reporting similar issues with custom manifests and Unity 6.

You might need to radically change your custom manifest so that Unity 6 plays nicely with it.

Try removing the UnityPlayerActivity activity from the your custom manifest in the project, but keep the ble permissions in.
