I downloaded datastore folder here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...oidx-datastore-datastore.164656/#post-1009464 but couldn't solve my problem. Another more recent datastore folder from Erel not available anymore here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/unity-ads-library.120648/page-2#post-1021660

You can download it from SDK Manager.

I just make a guess.
Have you tried click on the menu Tools -> Jetifier?

Hi, Aeric; thank you so much. Although,
I don't think manual jestification is needed for modern Maven via #AdditionalJar. I expected downloading of exact correct version to happen automatically at build time.

However, I still carried out that manual jestification in accordance with your instructions, but I found out is not the problem.

Ya, I just read it only needed for android support libraries.

Is there any reason for me to download again because when I went into the exact datastore folder; I found out I have 2 folders in datastore-core-android which are: 1.1.7 and 1.2.1 folders. In folder 1.1.7 are files you displayed above in your previous response. My program is referencing 1.2.1 that is more recent. If I download another version, it may not solve the problem since the problem is multiple error related

 

[aeric]

Maybe the Unity Ads SDK you are using is only compatible with a specific version.

If version 1.1.7 and 1.2.1 are not working for you, try download version 1.1.1
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...oidx-datastore-datastore.164656/#post-1009464

I'm using datastore from this post, and everything is good.
Latest datastore version is v1.1.7 but from this post is v1.1.1.
It compiles and work as it should.

or maybe the problem is due to the jvm dependency mentioned by Erel.

I was able to get it compiling by removing the jvm dependencies from the POM files.
