AndroidPdfViewer 2.0.0

AndroidPdfViewer 2.0.0

A major release modernizing the build, publishing pipeline, and dependency coordinates.

Breaking Changes

• Migrate from deprecated maven/uploadArchives to maven-publish with signing and Sonatype staging (nexus-staging). Publishing tasks and properties changed.
• Raise minSdk to 28 for both library and sample to align with modern Android dependencies/tooling.

Improvements

• Gradle 8.7 and Android Gradle Plugin 8.6.0.
• Target modern toolchain: compileSdk 35, targetSdk 35, Build Tools 35.0.0.
• Central bundle support: local bundle repository, checksum generation (SHA-256/512), and zip task for manual Maven Central uploads.
• Composite build substitution to develop against a local Pdfium fork if present.

Fixes

• Remove deprecated package attribute from library and sample AndroidManifest files (AGP 8+ expects namespace in Gradle).

Dependency Updates

• Pdfium now resolves to com.github.BlueCodeSystems:PdfiumAndroid:v2.0.0 by default via gradle.properties (can be overridden per build).

CI/Build

• JitPack uses JDK 17, installs required Android SDK/NDK, publishes to local Maven during build, and standardizes JitPack group as com.github.<owner>.

Installation

• Maven Central (preferred):

  implementation 'io.github.bluecodesystems:AndroidPdfViewer:2.0.0'

• JitPack (alternative):

  repositories { maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } }
  implementation 'com.github.BlueCodeSystems:AndroidPdfViewer:2.0.0'

Publishing (for maintainers)

• Local Central bundle zip (manual portal upload):

  ./gradlew -PcentralBundle=true -PuseGpgCmd=true \
    :android-pdf-viewer:publishMavenPublicationToCentralBundleRepository \
    :android-pdf-viewer:generateCentralBundleChecksums \
    :android-pdf-viewer:zipCentralBundle

• Sonatype (staging → release):

  export ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_sonatypeUsername='TOKEN_USER'
  export ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_sonatypePassword='TOKEN_PASS'
  ./gradlew :android-pdf-viewer:publish -PuseGpgCmd=true -PcentralRelease=true
  ./gradlew closeAndReleaseRepository
