[Android] Removing Flexbox jCenter dependency
Posted Nov 03, 2021
Hi, so we are trying to remove jCenter dependency from our project but Zendesk messaging library is blocking us to do so as it depends on Flexbox library from jCenter. Google moved that library to their Maven repository but we can't force it as Gradle doesn't look at it as same Flexbox library. So we really need Zendesk library to be updated in order to remove jCenter dependency.
Is there any ETA when we can expect that so that we can plan our work accordingly?

We are facing the same issue here.
The Zendesk support has any solution in mind?

Thank you so much for your post. This is something our teams are working on and recognize as a priority to update. There isn't a precise ETA for this deliverable but as soon as we have a released version of the mobile SDKs with a resolution, it will be our top priority to let our community members know. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. We truly appreciate your commitment and taking the time to follow up.
Best,
Erica - Dev Support

We've faced the same issue.
Please migrate to com.google.android:flexbox:3.0.0 from mavenCentral
Thank you!

One workaround is adding the following to your build.gradle:
dependencies {
modules {
module("com.google.android:flexbox") {
replacedBy("com.google.android.flexbox:flexbox")
}
}
implementation ("com.zendesk:messaging:$zendeskMessagingVersion", {
exclude group: "com.google.android", module: "flexbox"
})
implementation "com.google.android.flexbox:flexbox:3.0.0"

Hello,
We've prioritized the fix for this issue on all SDKs will have a resolution in the near future. The work-around to upgrade to Flexbox 3.0.0 should work fine for now. Apologies for any inconvenience caused!

Hi Mick,
In case it helps this is Intercom's fix from May 2021: https://github.com/intercom/intercom-android/commit/aea1f7f244d706eb0048ee213682448c3c0d356c.
It's literally one line of code:
Also, super nice that you can actually see the open source code of the project no? Beautiful for debugging.
