Daily build: won't build with GPGS v2 plugin (error 256)

Solar2D Android
#1

Hi, I’m trying to get a 64 bit version of an app out, but after trying a variety of things I’ve narrowed it down to the following build failure when GPGS.v2 plugin is enabled (the app builds fine with it disabled)

Can anyone shed some light on what this error log actually means?

Thanks!

I am not sure what the conflict is but I would do what it suggest by adding the above.

If that doesn’t work you might have to supplement what I provided above with the version. It look like you have 2 plugins one using version 17.0.0 and one using version 16.2.0 of the google support libraries.

I tried adding <meta-data tools:replace=“android:value” /> according to your suggestion but got the following error message instead:

Can you share your build.settings with us?

Why are you using gpgs and gameNetwork? Just delete the gameNetwork entry. You don’t need both.

Thanks Agramonte, that solved it. I didn’t know gameNetwork.google was unnecessary.
