Commons-codec Issue in Android Devices

[AlexDelosSantos]

The library is using JWT library that uses features of apache commons-codec that is only available in version 1.4 and higher, the problem is android runtime has a built in commons-codec that will always be used in runtime which is version 1.3. Therefore result to method "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method" error due to those features are not available yet in version 1.3 of commons codec.

Please ensure you add the minimal required version into your build.gradle for your runtime as follows:

dependencies {
    implementation 'commons-codec:commons-codec:1.4'
}

Seems this issue is deeper, let me see what we can do.

@AlexDelosSantos Are you using client.Client in android ? If so, use cloud.CloudClient.

Thank you for answering. I Tried using the cloudclient, but the cloud client requires the generated token, and token generation also requires the commons-codec 1.4 and up.

Also feeds docs is not yet available for android Kotlin, only the chat API.

Ok, clear. You need to generate the token in your server which is supposed to be not an android runtime.
Codec won't be an issue because cloud client will get the token from your backend and will pass to our backend, it doesn't need to do any signing which is causing the issue.

Yes, kotlin might come for feeds in the future but not available at the moment.
