Troubleshooting Android Setup Issues

Setting up Android for a project can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with third-party plugins. In this article, we will explore the common issues that may arise during Android setup and provide solutions to help you overcome them.

Understanding the Maven Transistor Repo Issue

The maven transistor repo is a crucial component of the Android setup process. However, it appears that this repo is currently unavailable, causing issues with the project's dependencies. To resolve this issue, you need to move the repos to settings.gradle.

Moving Repos to settings.gradle

To move the repos to settings.gradle, follow these steps:

Open the settings.gradle file in your project's root directory.
Add the following code to the file:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/' }
        maven { url 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/' }
        maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
    }
}

This code adds the necessary repositories to the settings.gradle file, allowing your project to access the required dependencies.

Resolving Dependency Issues

After moving the repos to settings.gradle, you may still encounter dependency issues. To resolve these issues, follow these steps:

Check the project's dependencies: Open the project's build.gradle file and check the dependencies listed. Ensure that all dependencies are correctly configured.
Update the dependencies: If a dependency is outdated, update it to the latest version.
Remove unnecessary dependencies: If a dependency is no longer required, remove it from the project's dependencies.
