Android build fails with modern compileSdk

[nmbgeek]

This appears to be directly related to the dependency chain hyper_render -> hyper_render_clipboard -> super_clipboard -> super_native_extensions -> irondash_engine_context

Execution failed for task ':irondash_engine_context:checkDebugAarMetadata'.

Dependency 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.7.1' requires libraries and applications
that depend on it to compile against version 34 or later of the Android APIs.

:irondash_engine_context is currently compiled against android-31.

Hi @nmbgeek,

Fixed in v1.2.2 ✅

This has been resolved. The root cause is a 3-level dependency chain:

hyper_render_clipboard
  → super_clipboard
    → super_native_extensions
      → irondash_engine_context 0.5.5  (compileSdk = 31)

irondash_engine_context 0.5.5 was compiled against android-31, but its transitive dependency androidx.fragment:1.7.1 has minCompileSdk = 34. AGP 8's checkAarMetadata task enforces this constraint and blocks the build.

Workaround (for existing installs)

Add this to your app's android/build.gradle.kts (or android/build.gradle):

Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts)

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {
        extensions.findByType(com.android.build.gradle.LibraryExtension::class.java)?.apply {
            compileSdk = 35
        }
    }
}

Groovy DSL (build.gradle)

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {
        if (it.hasProperty('android')) {
            android { compileSdkVersion 35 }
        }
    }
}

Upgrade

Upgrading to hyper_render: ^1.2.2 gets the fix automatically — the workaround is already applied in the example app and documented in the README.
