Yes, the warnings that it is throwing at you when compiling appear to be from Kotlin, after setting it to true as Jewel mentions, it will work.

Maybe this will appear: - warning: unknown enum constant Scope.LIBRARY_GROUP_PREFIX just ignore it.

Is Fast accept minSdkVersion from AndroidManifest.xml if we define it with uses-sdk element?

252

Yes, I've recently pushed a update to accept minSdkVersion from AndroidManifest.xml. You need to update the FAST to v2.0.5.

If i need to add xml file in my extension in fast ,which directory should i add it to and how should i reference the xml file path inside manifest.

It would be nice to add a command to update fast like fast upgrade.

Available commands:
build Build the project in current working directory.
create Create a new extension project in current working directory.
clean Clean project build caches in current working directory.
sync Sync project dependencies in current working directory.
jetify Migrates Android support libraries to AndroidX.
migrate Migrates the rush/extension-template project to Fast in current working directory.
propfix It will automatically add the category attribute where required, making manual project migration easier.
upgrade Check and update Fast Cli to the new version

Available arguments:
-r Indicates the execution of the ProGuard task. Pass it with the build command.
-s Indicates the execution of the R8 shrinker task. Pass it with the build command.
-o Indicates to optimize the extension size even there is no ProGuard. Pass it with the build command.
-x Indicates to generate the DEX Bytecode by the deprecated dexer. Pass it with the build command.
rush Indicates that it's a rush project to execute with the migrate command.
template Indicates that it's an extension-template project to execute with the migrate command.

This feature isn't available for extensions yet, but it might be soon if the Mit team approves the PR, which I still need to tweak a bit.

Thanks a lot, it has saved a lot of my time. Can you please add subdirectory support in assets. Thanks

259

Can you please explain the need for subdirectories within the assets folder? So that I can think about it.

@JEWEL I have added the following 2 dependencies to my project and run fast sync. I have implemented some features and now I want to compile but I have noticed that these packages require additional dependencies.

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/socket/socket.io-client/2.1.1/
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/socket/engine.io-client/2.1.0/

In my fast.yml I have added:

compile_time:
- com.squareup.okhttp3:3.12.12

I still get warnings about missing types.

- Warning in F:\AppInventor\socketio\socketio\.fast\com.namibsoft.socketio.socketio\files\AndroidRuntime.jar:io/socket/engineio/client/transports/PollingXHR$Request.class:
Type `okhttp3.MediaType` was not found, it is required for default or static interface methods desugaring of `void * io.socket.engineio.client.transports.PollingXHR$Request.<clinit>()`

Is there a way to automatically include all dependencies and their dependencies?

265

You may ignore these type of warnings or just set desugar_dex: fasle in fast.yml.
