[huawei_ads] Compile Error after Upgrade to Gradle plugin 8.3

[yuhangang]

Description
I am trying to migrate my project to using Flutter engine v3.24, which bump Android gradle plugin version to 8.X.

Initially getting compilation error, which I believe that it's due to HMS plugins haven't supported gradle 8.X yet.

Then i tried to added following lines build.gradle to resolve the error,

But I ended up with getting following error which complain that com.huawei.android.hms.ppskit.IPPSChannelInfoServicedoes not exist

We are facing the same issue. Tried different workarounds, nothing helped

same issue

this happened to ALL FLUTTER PACKAGES that haven't set namespace to their build.gradle due to gradle 8.0 migration. To fix this issue, please @ozkulbeng add this following configuration to each package in this repo:

android {
    ....
    if (project.android.hasProperty("namespace")) {
        namespace("{app_id}")
    }
    ....
}

this is not working

@Jasco07122021 are you sure? how you configure it or just let me know which package do you use.

Any updates on this?

It's been almost two months already, and we're unable to make Huawei releases of all our projects

I did some deeper investigation and found out the reason and workaround.

Reason: IPPSChannelInfoService uses aidl and since gradle 8 aidl is disabled by default, it should be enabled on the project/module level

Workaround for developers: add this to your project-level build.gradle file, section allprojects. After this I was able to build my app with Huawei libraries

allprojects {
  ...
  subprojects {
        afterEvaluate { project ->
            if (project.hasProperty('android')) {
                project.android {
                    if (namespace == null) {
                        namespace project.group
                    }
                }
                if (project.group == 'com.huawei.hms.flutter.ads') {
                     project.android.buildFeatures.aidl true
                }
            }   
        }
    }
}

By the way, it also fixes another problem of huawei libraries - lack of namespaces

Suggestion to Huawei: add namespaces and aidl support (where needed) to your libraries (app-level build.gradle, android section)

android {
    namespace 'com.huawei.....'
    ...    
    buildFeatures {
        aidl = true
    }
    ...
}

@qwertyway This workaround works on my end, thank you!
