Description

CLI: 5.0.0-2018-10-16-12488 (RC)
Android Runtime: 5.0.0-2018-10-23-165909-01

The new android runtime requires sdk 28. If you build such project with tns build --compileSdk 27 the build will fail with error for missing resources. We need a check in that case and warning that you cannot build project with last android runtime with sdk lower than 28.

Steps:

  1. tns create TestApp --js
  2. tns platform add android@next
  3. tns build android --compileSdk 27

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Research direction

Start by reproducing tns build android --compileSdk 27 after creating an app and adding android@next, then trace the CLI handling of --compileSdk. Done means the incompatible SDK/runtime combination is detected and produces a warning instead of failing later with missing Android resources.
