Please rev the version of okio depedency to version 1.17.4(minimum). about chat-sdk-android

[adityagokula2210]

Hello @imayank91
We have already made the changes and now we have removed the jar files for okttp and okio and have added them as Gradle dependencies. So that in case there is conflict, you can easily exclude the okio dependency. This change will be live in the next version of the CometChat Pro android SDK which is 1.8.0 scheduled to go live in a couple of days or latest by early next week. If you wish, you can use the beta version beta-1.7.1 where the changes have been done.
We will let you know once version 1.8.0 is live.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I tried using the beta-1.7.1, throws an error "The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.widget' that cannot be safely rewritten. Libraries using reflection such as annotation processors need to be updated manually to add support for androidx."

I think the library is still using the android support library instead of androidx

Are you using butterknife? You need to update the version of that so that I can get rid of this error

[adityagokula2210]

Hello @imayank91
We are not using butterknife in our SDK.
Can you please share your build.gradle file so that I can have a look at what is causing the conflict.

Thanks

@imayank91
Can you also paste the stacktrace of the error that you are getting..?

[imayank91]

The given artifact contains a string literal with a package reference 'android.support.v4.widget' that cannot be safely rewritten. Libraries using reflection such as annotation processors need to be updated manually to add support for androidx.

[adityagokula2210]

@imayank91
Can you try excluding the 'android.support.v4.widget' dependency from the CometChat dependency by adding the below line to the CometChat dependency
implementation ('com.cometchat:pro-android-chat-sdk:beta-1.7.1') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Thanks

[imayank91]

No luck, it's the same

[imayank91]

I was able to solve this for now using

android.jetifier.blacklist = support-v4

Do you have a plan to migrate the sdk from v4 to androidx.

[adityagokula2210]

@imayank91
Yes. We have added it to our task list and will take it up as soon as possible. Thank you for pointing this out.

Thanks.
