TIMAI2 · December 28, 2024, 12:58pm

Does FAST handle spaces in file paths (on Windows)?

Prem_Gupta · December 28, 2024, 1:14pm

may be, i dont know

JEWEL · December 28, 2024, 2:14pm

Please do a clean install.

Yes and not only for Windows.

how to delete old permanent

JEWEL · December 28, 2024, 2:35pm

Just run the installation script. It'll delete the old setup. Otherwise, you may follow the manual setup.

@JEWEL As a suggestion, you could add a -doc parameter to generate documentation for the extension.

fast build -doc

I'm looking for a way to generate blocks as png.

JEWEL · January 13, 2025, 3:51pm

An update is available v2.3.0

Date built: 13.01.25.19.56

FAST will generates docs for your extension during build if gen_docs is enabled in fast.yml
If component specific elements are not defined, FAST will include manifest elements to the default component.

Is there any guide or video or sample project on how to use external libraries in creating extension with dependency or repository?

I did check WIKI MavenResolver · jewelshkjony/fast-cli Wiki · GitHub but not able to implement it.

JEWEL · January 15, 2025, 5:12pm

You need to add remote dependencies like below and run fast sync to resolve these libraries before running fast build.

dependencies:
- com.startapp:inapp-sdk:5.1.0
- androidx.viewpager2:viewpager2:1.0.0

Check out this open-source project, it uses remote dependencies.

Trying to create a scheme in the manifest, but Intellij tells me that certain attributes are not allowed ?

(All four items in red generate the same error message)

Any fix for this ?

JEWEL · January 16, 2025, 2:40pm

Are you getting compilation issue or manifest missing issue on built aix?

TIMAI2 · January 16, 2025, 2:42pm

I have not yet tried to build. Can do, and see what, if any errors.

Here

All I have done is use the default extension as created, and added the intent filter to the manifest.

JEWEL · January 16, 2025, 2:46pm

Hopefully, you won't get any compilation errors, but if you run into APK build problems, it might be because AI2 doesn't support those attributes.

TIMAI2 · January 16, 2025, 2:47pm

No aix was created

JEWEL · January 16, 2025, 2:50pm

I'll take a look at this issue.

It appears you are using an older version of FAST. Please ensure you are using the latest version.

TIMAI2 · January 16, 2025, 4:57pm

OK After upgrading that now builds

will do more testing

Extension installed OK in the aia project, and the project built OK, but the deeplink does not work when I call it from a qrCode.

(this does work when using @vknow360 's deep link extension)

Can send aix and apk (you are welcome to do what you want with it )

The_K_Studio · January 24, 2025, 5:54pm

I have been started using FAST and it's too good. One thing I would like to suggest that whenever I build the extension the version code is automatically upgrading, it should not upgrade unless it was manually changed.

TIMAI2 · January 24, 2025, 7:11pm

Change the version auto setting then.
