Pass -b as an additional argument with the build command to generate blocks and docs.

Even though libraries are resolved and are in classpath but still i am getting unresolved reference and import error for that library. Below are my logs.

The Maven resolver has some problems, and that's why I've added the Gradle resolver. Since you're on an older version, you might be using local dependencies.

otniel · July 25, 2025, 7:01am

hello jewel is there a tutorial how to add library?

husnain · July 25, 2025, 8:28am

Yes, on latest free version. It,s working with local dependencies but getting above error with remote dependencies.

JEWEL · July 25, 2025, 8:50am

- com.squareup.okio:okio:3.9.0

Here is the way to specify remote dependencies.

husnain · July 31, 2025, 3:49pm

Hello Jewel, Can i get some discount on the purchase of Fast premium?

JEWEL · July 31, 2025, 4:33pm

Regrettably, no discounts are currently applicable. Furthermore, pricing adjustments may be necessary in the future, as we are actively developing and integrating new features and enhancements.

husnain · July 31, 2025, 6:13pm

Are AAR libraries and gradle is fully supported in fast? As the test server now supports aar feature. Can i import the extension packed with aar library into the server?

JEWEL · August 1, 2025, 2:37am

Indeed, FAST-CLI offers support for packaging AARs with extensions. Furthermore, it is capable of resolving all necessary dependencies through Gradle, mirroring the functionality of Android Studio.

The functionality has been successfully integrated by Niotron and AndroidBuilder. Furthermore, Kodular is scheduled to introduce this feature in their forthcoming update. We anticipate that AI2 may also incorporate this feature in the near future.

Note: I believe this feature is now available on AI2 test server.

I installed fast earlier and instailed rush ,
Now it shows like this
Do i need to reinstall fast

JEWEL · August 1, 2025, 2:04pm

I've pushed a quick fix, please install it again.

husnain · August 2, 2025, 11:35am

Does I have to purchase the license of Fast Premium version for one time fee or it's recurring with every update we have to pay some fees to receive latest features. Asking this because seeing edit history of premium post is a bit concerning because it changes after some time?

JEWEL · August 2, 2025, 11:57am

One time payment only!

husnain · August 2, 2025, 12:03pm

Will I also get all updates after license purchase without paying extra fee?

JEWEL · August 2, 2025, 12:09pm
