Error building xwalk with cordova android

Question

Building a cordova app with xwalk and it's no longer working.

ANDROID_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_77 Reading build config file: f:\source\Cutter\Canvasser\build.json null embedded org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:15+

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.

  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_armv7DebugCompile'. Could not resolve org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:15+. Required by: :android:unspecified Failed to list versions for org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library.

BUILD FAILED

Can anyone help? I don't understand why it's a maven repository which can't be found.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and finally solved it.

There is a file $(ProjectDir)platforms\android\gradle.properties that contains, What a surprise! Gradle properties. In my case the following was the content:

systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.http.proxyPort=8888
systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8888

Just remove those entries, save the file and problem solved!

To reproduce the problem. Open Fiddler, create a new cordova project, add the xwalk plugin and build the project. You will see an authentication error. Close Fiddler, build the project again, you will see the error you have.

Moral: don't create cordova projects while Fiddler is running.

Check this link out: https://github.com/crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview/issues/158

Here's the quote from the post:

"This can solve the issue for latest crosswalk version.

Open platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview\eqp-xwalk.gradle

change this:

dependencies {
    xwalkSpec
}

to this one:

dependencies {
   compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:23.53.589.4' //xwalkSpec
}

CrossWalk is discontinued, so you can left this and avoid future checks."

Answer 3

If you are receiving the following error after September 2017:

 Could not resolve org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:23+.

Open

platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview\eqp-xwalk.gradle in a regular cordova project

or

platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview\starter-xwalk.gradle in an ionic project and replace

dependencies {
    xwalkSpec
}

with:

dependencies {
    compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:23.53.589.4'
}
