mobile-install: error during mobile install

[jagobagascon]

I'm trying to migrate our Android project to rules_android@v0.7.1, but no matter what I do, I can't run the bazel mobile-install command.

My project is a library that uses JNI and includes an embeded binary file. It also includes an example APP that we use test our library.

Our example APP imports the library as a materialized .aar file.

We do it like this because Bazel changes the name of the generated .so file depending on the name of the rule being built, and we need consistent naming to call System.loadLibrary("our_lib")

android_binary(name = "example_app", deps = [":lib_aar"])
aar_import(name = "lib_aar", aar = ":materialized_lib_with_jni")
aar_with_jni(name = "materialized_lib_with_jni", android_library = ":lib_android")
android_library(name = "lib_android", deps = [":some_cc_dependendency"])

And the aar_import ImportDepsChecker fails with the following error:

ERROR: The dependencies for the following 1 jar(s) are not complete.
      1.bazel-out/darwin_arm64-fastbuild-android-ST-190b1649d98b/bin/example/src/main/_aar/lib_aar/classes_and_libs_merged.jar
The details are listed below:
Missing java.lang.constant.Constable
Indirectly missing class java.lang.constant.Constable. Referenced by:
    java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle
    java.lang.invoke.MethodType
===Total===
missing=1
incomplete=2
missing_members=0

I've tried compiling my code with JDK 11 and JDK 17, and I get the same exact error with both (which is weird because the JDK 11 classes should not depend on java.lang.constant.Constable, introduced in JDK 12).

Maybe this is related to #332?

[agluszak]

Could you see if it reproduces with

build --java_language_version=17 --java_runtime_version=17
build --tool_java_language_version=17 --tool_java_runtime_version=17

Added to your .bazelrc?

[jagobagascon]

I spent two days trying to fix this, and I ended up replacing the aar_import with a direct reference to the android_library to move on.

Now I'm trying to reproduce the issue again to try what you proposed, and for some reason I cannot make it fail.

I'm not sure what was happening, maybe some combination of dependencies, or some cache issue.
But it is working perfectly now.

[jagobagascon]

I'm going to close this issue for now. Thanks for the quick response and sorry for the inconvenience.

[jagobagascon]

I'm reopening this because it's happening again.

I'm using Bazel 8.5.1, on MacOS 26. And I think I should be using the JDK 11.

Anyway here's what I tried:

1. No matter what JDK I use, I tried JDK 11, 17 and 21, the mobile-install fails with:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/google/devtools/build/buildjar/BazelJavaBuilder has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

I've also tried combining Java 11 and 17:

• This returns error number 1

build --java_language_version=11 --java_runtime_version=11
build --tool_java_language_version=11 --tool_java_runtime_version=11

• This returns error number 2

build --java_language_version=11 --java_runtime_version=11
build --tool_java_language_version=17 --tool_java_runtime_version=17

• This returns error number 2

build --java_language_version=11 --java_runtime_version=17
build --tool_java_language_version=11 --tool_java_runtime_version=17

• This returns error number 2

build --java_language_version=11 --java_runtime_version=11
build --tool_java_language_version=11 --tool_java_runtime_version=17

Any idea what might be going on?

I would start with the example app and see if you can mobile-install that. Pay close attention to the flags that it sets. Notably, the example app sets --java_language_version=17 --tool_java_language_version=17 --java_runtime_version=17 --tool_java_runtime_versoin=17: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_android/blob/main/examples/basicapp/.bazelrc. In your previous comment, it doesn't look like you tried this combination.

The problem seems to be happening because my code uses Java 8 lambdas.

If I add a lambda to the BasicActivity class in the example project:

Runnable r = () -> {};

And then try to import that library as an .aar file:

aar_import(
    name = "example_aar_import",
    aar = ":basic_lib.aar",
)

Then bazel build //java/com/basicapp:example fails with:

//java/com/basicapp:example (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).

Weirdly it also fails if I concatenate strings (or ints) using variables:

public class BasicActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.basic_activity);

    // Fails
    String someText = "a";
    String anotherText = someText + "hello";

    // Works fine
    String anotherText = "a" + "hello";

    // [...]
  }
}

Here's the error:

Not sure what exactly is doing on, but could you try enabling library desugaring? Retry your mobile install command with --desugar_java8_libs.

[jagobagascon]

I get the same error. I believe this has nothing to do with the mobile-install command: Building an aar_import rule that includes a library with Java 8 lambdas fails for me.

I'm building the example included in Android Rules and consistently get that error.

Here's my bazel info output:
