**Description**  
I am integrating “mobilertc.aar” && “commonlib.aar” in my android app. At compile time i am receiving error  
‘AAPT: error: resource style/TextAppearance.Design.Tab (aka com.example.zoom:style/TextAppearance.Design.Tab) not found.  
error: resource style/Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog (aka com.example.zoom:style/Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog) not found.  
error: failed linking references.’

Please help me in that.

and one more thing, do we have any version which support on minSdkVersion 19?

I am using “v4.6.15086.0209”.

Same here. Everything was building fine until I upgraded to v4.6.15086.0209. Tried a clean build, did not help.

Hi,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK. The minSDKVersion that we support is 21 and we do not have any other version that could support minSdkVersion 19.

Please add the dependencies in your build.gradle file and it should fix the issue you are facing:

```auto
dependencies {
    implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0-rc01'
    implementation project(':commonlib')
    implementation project(':mobilertc')
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

```

Hope this helps. Thanks!

</div>

just FYI, in the latest version of gradle if you add:

```
implementation project(':commonlib')
implementation project(':mobilertc')
>>>> implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

```

The duplicateclasscheck task will complain, hence:

```
implementation project(':commonlib')
implementation project(':mobilertc')

```

is perfectly fine…

Regards!

I am seeing the same issue on my Android builds. Has anyone seen this recently?

</div>

@jon.zoom I was able to resolve this issue. It seems like some intermediary SDK you had 5.4.xx (unfortunately my dev did not store the exact version in README) was not linking properly. After moving to the latest SDK this issue went away. The reason we did not move to the new SDK sooner was that we were seeing a crash which has now been resolved.

Hi @jobin0484, thanks for using our SDK.

It seems that there are some dependencies missing from your project. If you look at the `mobilertc/build.gradle` file in the sample app, you can find the required dependencies. Below I’ve included the dependencies required for the 5.7.1 release, but if you are on an earlier version they may be different.

```auto
configurations.create("default")
artifacts.add("default", file('mobilertc.aar'))

dependencies.add("default","androidx.security:security-crypto:1.1.0-alpha02")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.crypto.tink:tink-android:1.5.0")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-core:2.12.3")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.12.3")
dependencies.add("default","androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.0.0")

dependencies.add("default","androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.0")
dependencies.add("default","androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-alpha03")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1")
dependencies.add("default","androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.1")
dependencies.add("default","com.github.bumptech.glide:annotations:4.11.0")
dependencies.add("default","com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.11.0")

```

Thanks!

Hi there @jon.zoom. I am attempting to upgrade from v5.0.24437.0708 to v5.7.1.1268  
I have the exact same issue I think. The remedy you provided has not worked for me:  
I get this error  
:[`ROOTFOLDER]\mobilertc\build\.transforms\6a76e10e7a62612785b45f017ec8ce38\transformed\jetified-mobilertc\res\values\values.xml:59:5-69: AAPT: error: resource color/zm_v1_blue_600 (aka [MY_BUNDLE_ID]:color/zm_v1_blue_600) not found.`

I have the gradle file in the mobilertc folder at the root of my project identical to the one above, and I have made sure all the versions of the packages required in the gradle files in my other projects match those required in mobilertc. I have also run file/invalidate caches and restart. I’m at a loss! Any help is welcome.

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing build issues after updating. Can you please provide the dependencies you have added for the SDK so we can verify that everything you need is there?

Thanks @jon.zoom

I have used the build.gradle file in the mobilertc folder exactly as received in the download. It looks like this:

```auto
configurations.create("default")
artifacts.add("default", file('mobilertc.aar'))
dependencies.add("default","androidx.security:security-crypto:1.1.0-alpha02")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.crypto.tink:tink-android:1.5.0")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-core:2.12.3")
dependencies.add("default","com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.12.3")
dependencies.add("default","androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.0.0")

dependencies.add("default","com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1")
dependencies.add("default","androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.0")

dependencies.add("default","com.github.bumptech.glide:annotations:4.11.0")
dependencies.add("default","com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.11.0")

```

Additionally I have a master build.gradle for the whole app. I have included the dependencies I am using in this file too in case I have a clash you can spot.

App Level build.gradle

```auto
    def arch_comp_version = "2.2.0"
    def koin_version = "2.1.5"
    def mockk_version = "1.10.0"

    def kotlin_version = "1.5.31"

    implementation "com.microsoft.appcenter:appcenter-analytics:${appCenterSdkVersion}"
    implementation "com.microsoft.appcenter:appcenter-crashes:${appCenterSdkVersion}"
    implementation "org.koin:koin-android-viewmodel:$koin_version"
    implementation "org.koin:koin-android:$koin_version"
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.3.0'

@jon.zoom It turns out I forgot to update my copy of the commonlib from the distribution. I did that and then I just needed to go through changing the calls to the deprecated stuff, and now I got it working. Please thank the team for the change log pdf which was very helpful.
