notifee: F-droid build fails due to `core-xxx.jar` being removed during scan

Hi I Have an app that I’m trying to get released on f-droid, which requires all libraries to be fully open source. and it doesn’t allow pre-built libraries (jar files etc.) . currently my build fails due to core-202108261754.jar being removed during scan and remove phase of f-droid build, which seems to be provided as a prebuilt jar file instead of being built from source. here is the short log:

> Task :notifee_react-native:extractReleaseAnnotations FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':notifee_react-native:extractReleaseAnnotations'.

Oh that’s great! That’s basically what I was thinking, and I’m glad it worked out for you. Always happy to see more open source stuff, and as mentioned I am a fan of F-Droid 😃

Cheers

What a great result! That’s cool - now f-droid-targeting apps have a maintained notification library, we’ll get the PR mainlined in time (post-vacations) I’m sure, thanks for putting it together

Thanks a lot! I think managed to fix it using the info you provided. for those who may encounter this issue later, here’s the steps I did:

Created a script in my repo’s root folder that clones only the needed files from the repo according to the package version, into the node_modules/@notifee/core folder. I run this before running a build to checkout the currently installed version.
added the following to my settings.gradle

include(":notifee_core")
project(":notifee_core").projectDir = file('../node_modules/@notifee/core/android')
