Bug when using Android SDK 15 (4.0)

Development Platform & Builds Mobile
, , ,

Branch: Binary

Build: Tested with 4.2.1 and 4.3.0

Description:
AAPT gives an error when trying to make an apk, which says that “sensorPortrait” is not a suitable value for “screenOrientation” (one of the project manifest settings), when using Android SDK 15.

The reason is that Android SDK 15 has a typo there - “sensorPortait” instead of “sensorPortrait”. That was fixed in Android SDK 16 (4.1+).

Steps:

  1. When installing TADP, set your desired Android SDK to 4.0 (15).

  2. Get the default “Tappy Chicken” project installed.

  3. Try to package it, check the output log.

Quickfixes:

  • Install Android SDK 16 a.k.a 4.1 (via the SDK Manager).

or

  • Change “screenOrientation” to something other than “sensorPortrait” in the Project Settings.

Hopefully this helps and the Manifest Writing tool will soon be “taught” to be “aware” of this issue. Just in case someone will want to use Android SDK 15.
