I'm using rive 0.11.1, and I'm not able to build on Android, with the error:

Hi @RoyalCoder88, you'll need to update the NDK version in your Android app, see here: https://github.com/rive-app/rive-flutter/blob/master/platform_considerations.md#android

Please also make sure that CMake is up to date on your Windows system, see here: https://github.com/rive-app/rive-flutter/blob/master/platform_considerations.md#windows

Hi @HayesGordon , thanks for the quick reply, but I can't update the NDK because Unity widget depends on this specific NDK version :( thanks!

Having the same issue.. : ( Still no solution ?

[user97116]

I manage to find two workarounds:

1. use a wrapper to wrap Android native SDK, here is the poc: https://pub.dev/packages/rive_mobile tested in our project and it does work. but don't have time (and my not worth it) to use federated plugin so iOS can still use flutter version. Otherwise, iOS native version will require iOS 14 or above (which still ok). this workaround does work but only support Android and iOS and will have to manually wrap function needed, not a scalable way. If anyone want to go further with the method, feel free to clone or submit PR to https://github.com/onlifeltd/rive_mobile.

2. In our case it is conflict with Unity flutter NDK r23 requirement. Manage to update unityLibrary/build.gradle line 11 (ish) from

ndkVersion = rootProject.ext.ndkVersion

to

ndkVersion = 23.1.7779620

so unityLibrary project doesn't force main project to use NDK r23, and main project can use NDK 25.1.8937393 that rive ask for.

But come with http version conflict that already fix there but not released in latest nor prerelease (as in 21 Aug 2023). Have to walk around it with your own risk. We simply dependency_overrides http version to 1.11.0, full regression test still in pipeline to verify the impact for all these workarounds.

In case this is useful to anyone else, an alternative workaround I'm using is to use an older version of rive (version 0.8.4 or earlier) which targets NDK 23.1.7779620. Unfortunately this older version depends on an old version of http which caused a dependency conflict in my project, so you may have to fork it to updated the dependencies. And of course you can't take advantage of any features added to rive after 0.8.4
