DS has updated to 2.57.

Therefore ApkBuilder 257 was dropped into “Plugins”.

When DS is run, it says Plugin is installed.

But attempt to build Apk says ApkBuilder is required.


Is the issue with the new DS, or the ApkBuilder ?

I tried it and have the same result as yours.
Then I just restarted DS and it worked (I was able to build an apk).
Did you try it?

Yes, but I'll try again ...

Retried again (twice).
It again says Plugin is installed but then states that ApkBuilder is required.

Just to be sure that we're talking about the same procedure:
1. Put ApkBuilder_257.ppk in the "Plugins" directory
2. Start DroidScript so it installs the plugin
3. Exit DroidScript (ensure it is closed and not just hidden)
4. Start DroidScript again and try to build an APK.

Also be sure to be using the same account that you used to buy the plugin.
You can check it with this snippet:

function OnStart() {
    lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
    txt = app.AddText( lay, "" );
    app.AddLayout( lay );
    app.GetPermission( "Accounts", function() {
        txt.SetText( app.GetUser() );
    } );

Works now.

Restarting didn't work, but tried “Build Apk” 4 or 5 times and eventually it worked !

Maybe it just takes some time (~20s?) to work?


Thanks for your help.
