App Factory 6.1.4-beta - error on app creation

[Frank Roehm]

Hello

When I try to create an app with App Factory 6.1.4-beta I always get an error:

error:copyFile:/data/user/0/net.dinglisch.android.appfactory/cache/bld/res/drawable/cust_transparent.png doesn't exist.

I have the betas (6.1.4) installed, both Tasker and appFactory.

This seems to be a bug, as I read in reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/x3tyqj/error_generating_app_tasker_614_beta_and_factory/

Could it be fixed?
I have not the Google Play version of Tasker (because of encryption).

Thanks.

Oh, I found on reddit more:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/wv0d6g/dev_tasker_613beta_quick_setting_tile_double/

So it is already reported and Joao is on vacation.

Found there also the Link for older Tasker Downloads:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1GW55YKFiuOZhJVswnt_BQUCJoGm36ugF?usp=sharing
And actual Tasker:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9zvcgq8cj9oc2v9/
actual App Factory (broken in 6.1.4-beta at the moment):

Seems still on vacation ...

Beta is still on 6.1.4-beta (and I guess so is App Factory).

Hi! Thanks for the report! Can you please try these versions?

Tasker: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19w0kkEle9oinGusDHMe-1f1u6_xuuifD&authuser=joaomgcd%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs

App Factory: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vV9EIFneslw99BRlcKZ-QeCsRoK6K_81&authuser=joaomgcd%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs

[Frank Roehm]

This Tasker version doesn't start, only shows error.
I installed again the last 6.1.4 beta, works again.
I have Android 9, maybe this the problem?

[João Dias]

Hhmm what error does it show exactly?

I tried to use your new App Factory and I can create an App with it, but this App (in Tasker/factory/kids/) wont install, I get then "Split or bad apk!" (in Total Commander, or: "Beim Parsen des Pakets ist ein Problem aufgetreten." in e.g. Solid Explorer) when I try to install it.

[João Dias]

Oh, you're using the direct-purchase version, is that correct?

Can you try this version then? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CwpRclcWdyQpP5h4DtidTUAcRQ9AOqKC&authuser=joaomgcd%40gmail.com&usp=drive_fs

OK, this Tasker works, but App Factory still not creating a installable apk.
Still same error as before.
App Factory doesn't show any protocol I guess if creation is successful, isn't it?
So I think now is a different issue...

[João Dias]

Thanks. What error are you getting now exactly?

[Frank Roehm]

As I wrote earlier:

I can open it as a zip though.
Should I sent you the apk for testing?
Where to?

[francwalter]

This seems still unfixed.

I just installed 6.1.6-beta and the actual AppFactory (from Dropbox) but still not working.

App is created but when I try to install I get an error 

"Split or bad apk" 

[João Dias]

That's weird. It's working for me. Which settings are you using when creating it and on what device are you trying to install it?

I am creating and try to install on Xiaomi Mi A1 with Android 9 (unrooted).

I just tried to create an example with just one Action, a Toast Alert "Test App Factory". Export > As App:

Settings:

- Package: de.7fw.testexport

- Version Name: 1.0

- Advanced Configuration: [X]

- Min. Android Version: 21

- Target Android Version: 29

- Debug Version: [   ]

- Required Permissions: (all checked, but greyed out)

- Extra Permissions: -

when I go back from settings, I have to input my password for my Android signing key, then the export starts, no errors. Direct install unchecked.

In Tasker/factory/kids I find my new app, but again, when I try to install it, in totalcmd I get: "Split or bad apk". But I can open it as zip, here a download link for the apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nV9LGF4k2SEV1BPw9UoH0iJTfzlINJyf/view?usp=drivesdk
In another File Manager (Solid Explorer) I get: "Beim Parsen des Pakets ist ein Problem aufgetreten" (means something like: "There is a problem while parsing the apk").

Could you check in my apk, what is wrong here?

By the way, the app I tried to create has a lot of MB for an app, just for launching a Toast and nothing more, 5 MB, as if the third of Tasker itself where in it ;)

I do not remember if App Factory did work anytime, didnt really use it before, just imported my own Android sign key in Tasker once. I remember vaguely that I tried App Factory years ago without success too (but different issues, I think not all parts were included at that time, the app not working properly then).

Thank, frank

Strange: it works suddenly, worked though, with Tasker 6.1.6-beta and that AppFactory, but the resulting app was not working properly, so I updated to 6.1.7-beta Tasker, but the App Factory of this version is not yet in the DropBox under 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ni1i40ntp9njh63/AppFactory.apk?dl=0

So I guess the issue was on me somehow

[francwalter]

I think I found it!

Package: de.7fw.myapp makes the error, the number (7) makes the issue.

With de.fcw.myapp it works!

It's a bug then, something happens when a number is in the package name.

I once had something like this with a domain name, the name server software to update had a problem with numbers in the domain name too.

Was fixed by them then.

@joao maybe one day you look into that issue, I am not totally sure but only with the number the problems arise.

Thank

But if I create even a very basic apk with a Task opening a Scene with a button to destroy that scene, it wont run after opening.

I can create the apk and install it, but when I press the Apps button nothing opens and after I while I get an error message (app repeatedly closed) without any error message why it is closed).

And after that, the apk has not the icon I choose in the Task, it has only the default Android icon.

Thank, frank
