Error after upgrading: Unsupported operation: ObjectBox platform-specific library not compatible

[openl4m4]

Hello everyone,

I just upgraded Flutter & ObjectBox from 2.3.1 to 2.5.1 today and now I'm having issues launching the project. Here is the error I'm facing when doing a Flutter run in vscode:

E/flutter ( 4121): [ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: Unsupported operation: ObjectBox platform-specific library not compatible: is 0.18.1 (3.7.0-2023-08-22 (http, admin)), expected 0.21.0 (3.8.0-2024-02-13) or newer. For Flutter, check if the ObjectBox Pod or objectbox-android-objectbrowser need to be updated. For Dart, re-run the install.sh script to download the latest version.

I've checked the doc, many issues and other resources and added the dependencies & configuration part in my build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.7.10'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

#--- added this after the upgrade ---#
configurations {
    debugImplementation {
        exclude group: 'io.objectbox', module: 'objectbox-android'
    }
}

dependencies {
    // implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
    // Add objectbox-android-objectbrowser only for debug builds.
    // Warning: when objectbox_flutter_libs updates check if version
    // needs update, e.g. check https://github.com/objectbox/objectbox-dart/releases.
    def objectboxVersion = "3.8.0"
    debugImplementation("io.objectbox:objectbox-android-objectbrowser:$objectboxVersion")
    // releaseImplementation("io.objectbox:objectbox-android:$objectboxVersion")
}
#-------------------------------------------------#

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

tasks.register("clean", Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I also got the new libobjectbox.so from the following script, did a search on my system for the lib & put it inside my project:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/objectbox/objectbox-dart/main/install.sh
cp /usr/lib/libobjectbox.so /home/kin/workspace/xxx/xxx/build/linux/x64/debug/_deps/objectbox-download-src/lib/
cp  /usr/lib/libobjectbox.so /home/kin/workspace/xxx/xxx/build/linux/x64/debug/bundle/lib/

Unfortunately, I still have the same issue. Do you spot any issues that I could fix in my conf or elsewhere?

Thanks a lot.

I guess you are trying to run it on an Android device? The objectbox-android-objectbrowser version looks good. Maybe a caching issue? Did you try flutter clean and then running again?

[openl4m4]

Well, thanks for the confirmation.

I tried a flutter clean but it's the same problem at the end. A rollback to these packages values works well :

dependencies:
  flutter:
    sdk: flutter
  objectbox: ^2.3.1
  objectbox_flutter_libs: any
  intl: any
  path_provider: ^2.0.10
  path: ^1.8.3
  image_picker: ^1.0.4

  # The following adds the Cupertino Icons font to your application.
  # Use with the CupertinoIcons class for iOS style icons.
  cupertino_icons: ^1.0.2  
  google_fonts: ^6.1.0
  collection: ^1.18.0

dev_dependencies:
  flutter_test:
    sdk: flutter
  build_runner: ^2.0.0
  objectbox_generator: any

Tried to reproduce but not having any issues in VS Code and running on Android. Maybe manually delete the Flutter/Dart build folders?

In any case, you can try with one of the examples to check if it's an issue with your project. (Make sure to comment out the dependency_overrides in the pubspec though).
