I have a question regarding Fast, previously when using fast build -r everything was fine but now when using it I get some Notes, this is the code that generates fast by default: package com.christianqf.videobackground;

import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.DesignerComponent;
import com.google.appinventor.components.annotations.SimpleFunction;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.ComponentContainer;
import com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.AndroidNonvisibleComponent;

@DesignerComponent(version = 2, versionName = “1.0”, description = “Developed by ChristianQF by Fast.”, iconName = “icon.png”)
public class VideoBackground extends AndroidNonvisibleComponent {

public VideoBackground(ComponentContainer container) {
super(container.$form());
}

@SimpleFunction(description = “Returns sum of two integer numbers.”)
public int SumNumber(int firstNumber, int secondNumber) {
return firstNumber + secondNumber;
}
}
And this is part of what comes out: - Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.PoolUtils]

  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.BaseProxyHandler]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.CglibProxyHandler]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.CglibProxySource]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.JdkProxyHandler]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.JdkProxySource]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.ProxiedKeyedObjectPool]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.ProxiedObjectPool]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.proxy.ProxySource]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.SwallowedExceptionListener]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.TrackedUse]
  • Note: duplicate definition of library class [org.apache.commons.pool2.UsageTracking]
  • Note: there were 3421 duplicate class definitions.

  • Generating DEX bytecode, yes it generates the aix but why does it appear now that it didn’t appear before?

Could you please perform a clean installation of FAST 2+?

49

How do I do it? Since to update I use this: iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jewelshkjony/fast-cli/main/scripts/update/win.ps1 -useb | iex

50

Run the installation script again.

Those Notes no longer appear now if you compile clean: - Cleaning build caches

  • Increasing Components version
  • Compiling Java classes
  • Copying extension assets
  • Reading AndroidManifest.xml
  • Generating AndroidRuntime.jar
  • ProGuard, version 7.6.0
  • Generating DEX bytecode
  • Packaging extension at C:\Users\Usuario\Documents\Fast_Extension\video-background\out\com.christianqf.videobackground.aix

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 7s 684ms

Thank you Jewel
