SDKBOX with Cocos Creator 2.4.1

[TiniovyKit]

I am having issues trying to use SDKBOX with Cocos Creator 2.4.1 project. Importing a plugin yields following output:

>sdkbox import iap

 Installation failed :(

It seems that strings.xml file is located in /res/values/ in the project and not in /app/res/values/ where SDKBOX expects to find it.

Failed to integrate SDKBOX plugin with cocos creator 2.4

we will fix this in next release. now you can do like follow: create jsb-default/res folder modify jsb-default/frameworks/runtime-src/proj.android-studio/app/build.gradle android.applicationVariants.all { variant -> ... variant.mergeAssets.doLast { copy { from "${sourceDir}/assets" into "${outputDir}/assets" } // new add copy { from "${sourceDir}/res" into "${outputDir}/res" } copy { …

This is weird. I have the opposite! All my games are using the proj.android/app/res/values directory and now sdkbox gives me an error that the proj.android/res/values does not exists… Any idea?

I tried to trick it by just copying over the app/res folder into proj.android/res folder. But then I get some other errors like:

…proj.android/game/build.gradle/ does not exists. But the build.gradle has never been in this folder… it is in proj.android root folder (or proj.android/app)

BTW, I still use cocos 3.17

[ebouchard]

Just did. Brand new project from cocos2d-x 3.17.2:
Note that I am using sdkbox gui 1.1.7

Install Finish

i can’t reproduce, can you do as follow:

1. rm -rf C:\Users\ericb\.sdkbox\plugins
2. cd C:/game/TestGame/
3. run command sdkbox import admob

[ebouchard]

Using the command line worked. So it seems my version of SDKBOX GUI is broken somehow. I could not find a new version anymore, I guess it is not supported anymore?

[htlxyz]

In fact, gui finally calls this command ` sdkbox import’
