Make sure to check the demo app(s) for sample usage

Just add to project (tns plugin add nativescript-imagecropper) and try building. Maybe include it somewhere.

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

• Android
• during build

Please, provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

On a clean build (rm -R hooks platforms node_modules package-lock.json) I get:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':verifyReleaseResources'.

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade Android resource linking failed /platforms/tempPlugin/nativescript_imagecropper/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:3:3-5:17: AAPT: error: attribute android:requestLegacyExternalStorage not found.

• Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

• Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Is there any code involved?

• Dont think so. In my understanding, It is during the build of the package.

@CoooWeee Open node_modules/nativescript-imagecropper/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml

<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">
		<activity android:name="com.yalantis.ucrop.UCropActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:theme="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar"/>
	</application>

^ remove the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" part from there. Then run tns platform clean android tns run android

let me know if it works for you.

@jitendraashutec Since you added the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" can you help @CoooWeee or anyone else facing issues with that flag?

was android:requestLegacyExternalStorage only added in API 29?

[CoooWeee]

@shiv19 Builds fine without android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true". However, if I run tns build run android is restores the AndroidManifest.xml.

[shiv19]

@CoooWeee I'll pack a plugin without that flag and post it here, you can install that and let me know how it goes.

[shiv19]

nativescript-imagecropper-2.0.0.tgz.zip

first unzip this file to get nativescript-imagecropper-2.0.0.tgz

place this file in the root of your project and run tns plugin add ./nativescript-imagecropper-2.0.0.tgz

you'll have to keep this file in your project so that other devs can install it from there.

(you could also make a folder called custom_plugins in your project root and keep it in there, then the command would be tns plugin add ./custom_plugins/nativescript-imagecropper-2.0.0.tgz

Let me know if this tgz is working fine for you. If it is, then I'll release a patch

[yahyaKacem]

has a patch been release for this bug? I'm still having the same error.

[Noppey]

I had this exact problem as well, and your .tgz solves this problem. Please release the patch.

Having the same problem, however, if I remove this line android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" I am getting another build error. Please let me know how can I solve this error.
