android_antlib_4-12-0.jar antpluginlib_3-6-0.jar      

can anyone from ANT answer here? and also, is this all we get as customer support?

As stated above the files do not work on Android 10, the system crashes and as you can imagine we are getting plenty of complaints. The libraries are from 2015, so it does not look like anyone at ANT is updating the libraries to make sure they can work on newer systems.

Please provide support to resolve this issue.      

I was able to fix it by using proguard to eliminate logging
on android 10

-assumenosideeffects class com.dsi.ant.plugins.utility.log.LogAnt {
*;
}

and i did this
LogAnt.setDebugLevel(LogAnt.DebugLevel.NONE, this)

which now works.
But 2015 last update for android is really really old. Make me wonder it BLE is taking over.


     

thank you so much, I will try this.

And indeed, having a library from 2015 and no customer support says a lot.      

One more note.
Once you add proguard and require logging to be removed via that method.
You can only debug your app in prod release mode
which really sucks.      

yeah and the method seems to crash the app for me.

How is it possible that nobody from ANT even replies or provides support here? Is this for real? I have never seen anything like this, you can't email them and then the forum is not even monitored by their developers (seriously the library is from 2015, how is this even still a company).      

There is an updated version of the Plugins SDK on Github. See this issue for details.

It has not shown any issues for me since I updated to it.

sorry for the dumb question but how do I use the .aar file?

I've tried renaming it, also decompressing it and creating a new jar using the included classes.jar and manifest, etc. - but no luck when building.

Thank you for your help      

I had the same problem with "ANT+ Plugin Sampler" running with API Level 29, but it was solved by updating from antpluginlib_3-5-0.jar to antpluginlib_3-8-0.aar...
but need to comment Decode.checkIntegrity(fitFile) ....
