The crosswalk build for Android failed (XDK-app-Build)

Question

I could build my app yesterday. But today I cannot and I don't know what the problem is...

The ERROR I get is:

An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again.

Can somebody help me, please? It would be great.

Can you provide more information? Your build log doesn't show any errors or warning based on what you have shared above. — eashtianjr, Nov 07 '14 at 00:21

It's fixed. Please re-build.

Root cause:

Intel XDK does not support library project, newly introduced in plugin (com.google.playservices@21.0.0).

<framework src="libs/google-play-services_lib" custom="true" />

You may ask, why the change of "com.google.playservices" will cause AdMob plugin fail?

The admob plugin was dependent on another plugin named "com.google.playservices", which adds google play services jar to project.

The "com.google.playservices@19.0.0" is a simple jar file, it worked quite well.

<source-file src="google-play-services.jar" target-dir="libs" />

But the "com.google.playservices@21.0.0" is using a new feature to include a whole library project.

<framework src="libs/google-play-services_lib" custom="true" />

It works quite well if build locally with Cordova CLI, but it will fail when build with Intel XDK.

To keep compatible with Intel XDK, the dependency of admob plugin is changed to "com.google.playservices@19.0.0", the simple jar file.

Now it works with Intel XDK again.
