Appbuilder Android builds failing with Jenkins CI

[Jim]

Android builds via Jenkins CI started breaking on 02-Dec-2016. Error message:

Start Building for Android Configuration: Debug Error Message: {"Errors":[{"Code":"MSB4044","ProjectFile":"JenkinsCI","Target":"ManifestFilePrep","Message":"The \"UpdateAndroidPermissions\" task was not given a value for the required parameter \"AdditionalPermissions\".","LineNumber":0,"ColumnNumber":0,"EndLineNumber":0,"EndColumnNumber":0,"IsRealError":true}],"Warnings":[],"Output":"Project \"JenkinsCI.tmp.proj\" (default targets):\r\n\tError: The \"UpdateAndroidPermissions\" task was not given a value for the required parameter \"AdditionalPermissions\".\r\nDone building project \"JenkinsCI.tmp.proj\" -- FAILED.\r\n","ResultsByTarget":{"Build":{"Status":"Failure","Items":[]}}} Build finished for 1.64 seconds

Build step 'Telerik AppBuilder Build Step' marked build as failure

Hello Jim,

Other customers reported the same error message on Android build with regular AppBuilder builds and the development team tracked it down to a bug where the build fails for apps that don't have any Android permissions enabled.

The bug will be addressed in a future release and in the meantime, you can enable one of the Android permissions for your app to make it build successfully. A permission that is almost always used by apps is the INTERNET one, so you can consider enabling it.

Hi, thanks for the response. I've checked the failing builds and the INTERNET permission is enabled. Here is an example of the App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml file. This file has been unchanged in my project since March of this year.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="$AndroidVersionCode$"    
          android:versionName="$BundleVersion$" 
          package="$AppIdentifier$" 
          android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
          android:hardwareAccelerated="$AndroidHardwareAcceleration$"
          xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
        <supports-screens
                android:largeScreens="true"

                android:resizeable="true"
                android:anyDensity="true"/>

        <application android:label="@string/app_name" 
                     android:icon="@drawable/icon"

                      android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|locale"
                      android:launchMode="standard"
                      android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" >

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

Hello Jim,

We are unable to reproduce the issue that you describe with the internet permission enabled. Will it be possible that you open a support ticket and send us your project there, or if your project is in Telerik Platform, tell us its name, so we can test it locally and see why the build keeps failing?

I found and fixed the problem. It was an issue with the .abproject file, not the AndroidManifext.xml. Thank you.

Hello Jaswinder,

This is the forum for Telerik AppBuilder product for mobile development and tt seems that you are referring to OpenAccess. However, I found this forum thread which might help you http://www.telerik.com/forums/data-access-stopped-working-on-my-pc
