Have questions about Class not foun and soot.SootMethodRefImpl$ClassResolutionFailedException when running data flow analysis

[liuyongxiang]

Hello.
I am using a new version of FlowDroid which downloaded from https://github.com/secure-software-engineering/FlowDroid.
But I got an error when I ran soot.jimple.infoflow.android.test.otherAPKs.OtherAPKTests:
Class not found soot.jimple.infoflow.android.test.otherAPKs.OtherAPKTests...
Then I try to compile the project with Maven using 'Maven Build' and got a result 'BUILD SUCCESS'.However,I got another error when I ran soot.jimple.infoflow.android.test.otherAPKs.OtherAPKTests.I got the following message:
soot.SootMethodRefImpl$ClassResolutionFailedException: Class android.content.ServiceConnection doesn't have method onServiceConnected([android.content.ComponentName]) : void; failed to resolve in superclasses and interfacesLooking in android.content.ServiceConnection which has methods [<android.content.ServiceConnection: void onServiceConnected(android.content.ComponentName,android.os.IBinder)>, <android.content.ServiceConnection: void onServiceDisconnected(android.content.ComponentName)>]

I have the same problem.but dont know how to solve.

Time has been a long time, and I forgot how I solved it. But it may be a version issue or a dependency issue. You can try to import the latest version of FlowDroid directly by the link above. I didn't have this problem when I used it last week.

@lingnancfy Were you able to solve the problem at your side?

If the problem persists, please open a new issue on FlowDroid's issue tracker. This issue is not related to Soot.

@mbenz89 I have solve this problem, it only a version issue.
