[Android] Removing Flexbox jCenter dependency

This issue has now been corrected in the most recent version for our Classic SDKs. Thanks for raising this issue in Community, and helping us to get it resolved!

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:

- com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1
+ com.google.android.flexbox:flexbox:3.0.0

Also, super nice that you can actually see the open source code of the project no? Beautiful for debugging.

Hi Nataliya, 

We are actively working on a resolution to this issue, but if this is blocking you, you can upgrade to Flexbox 3.0.0 as a workaround for now. Apologies for any inconvenience that this has caused you. We'll update our release notes as soon the release is complete.

We are facing the same issue.

Does have any solution or a new Zendesk library version?

Thank you Kymin Liu for sharing workaround and Mick O'Donnell for prioritizing this one. 

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!

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"

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

Same thing here. you just need to change the flexbox version to 3.0.0 to support mavenCentral
