**Hello dear developers.** Today I have signed up for ZOOM SDK to develop a mobile app and downloaded SDK by official documentation. I have downloaded most latest mobile aar and commonlib aar files and Added them as a dependency in the module-level build.gradle file. This setup is successful. So now, I decided to compile the app. When I start to compile this app in the latest Android Studio, I get the following error: ``` Android resource linking failed E:\My Projects and Source Code\Current Work\Cricket Live\mobilertc\build\.transforms\76efb555d3ccaf1872292af68f9b4685\jetified-mobilertc\res\values\values.xml:71:5-95: AAPT: error: resource color/zm_v1_orange_50_alpha14 (aka com.methewlive.app:color/zm_v1_orange_50_alpha14) not found.

I found it very weird. Please help me fix this issue. Thank you. ---

Hi @ultechnologies2006, thanks for using our SDK. Please take a look at the `build.gradle` file in the `mobilertc` module of the sample app and ensure that the same file in your project is configured in the same way. 🙂 Thanks! ---

Like, what do you mean? I have the following modules: mobilertc commonlib app In settings.gradle I have added folowing: ```auto include ':mobilertc' include ':commonlib' ``` in app module build.gradle file I have following: ```auto implementation project(':mobilertc') implementation project(':commonlib') ``` I have also tried > sample module from **ZOOM SDK** folder and found that the problem is still the same. I feel very sorry for this. I use Gradle 6.1.1, Android SDK 30, MIN SDK 21, Target SDK 30 ---

Hi @ultechnologies2006, If you take a look at the sample app, this is what you will find in the `mobilertc/build.gradle` file: ```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","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") ``` Doing the same in your project should resolve the issue you are seeing. Thanks! ---
