Android Question Error: Given Key was not present... with git repository

[Creideiki]

I set up a git repository like described in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/using-a-git-repository-version-control-for-beginners.80899.

Now I had to checkout an old version. When I try to open the project, I get the error
The Given key was not present in dictionary
and the IDE shows a virgin Main. I can access the .b4a file with another editor though.

I suppose it has to do with the *.b4a.meta file, which is in .gitignore as suggested.

So the question is: What is the correct way to handle B4A projects in a version contol system? With the .b4a.meta I have too much changes (BTW: the .b4a file changes IMHO to frequent, too). Without it I can't checkout older versions because of the mentioned error.

I suppose it has to do with the *.b4a.meta file, which is in .gitignore as suggested.

The meta file is not required.

Open the b4a file with a text editor and check its "headers".

The b4a file is ok (I used vim to check it).

So I should delete the .b4a.meta when i checkout an older version?

Try it. It isn't expected to cause problems. You can safely delete it.
