After upgrading to B4A 10.7 and following the instructions, my apps and that of many other members failed or ran incorrectly, with regard to the following issues:
1. FireBase
2. Billing
3. FuseLocationProvider
4. SDK com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:27.0.0
5. vv ....
Other upgrades are okay, this time maybe Erel changed the core and key components of the system so I feel very serious
Hope Erel will soon fix it and give us instructions

Apart from the issue @Erel mentions above, all 'known' 10.7 issues seem to be related to not - and cured by - following the installation notes completely, carefully and without making additional steps.

100% true.

And see: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-v10-7-is-available-for-download.128734/ . Especially note the need for bundletool.jar .

Not needed unless you want to use the new bundle packaging.

I find it related to B4ASdkManager.jar

There are exactly zero known issues with B4A Sdk Manager. It wasn't updated at all in v10.7.

Just follow the installation instructions and everything will work.

This is a very bad thread as it wrongfully discourages other developers from updating to the latest version. Almost everything written in this thread is wrong.

If anyone encounters any issue then please start a new thread and post the specific issue you encounter.

Don't wait for v10.71. A minor update is not needed and is not planned.

It is true that the new version might require you to download a new Android SDK. It won't take more than 10 minutes.

i had similar issues in the past. then i followed the installation instruction "WITHOUT MAKING ADDITIONAL STEPS" like updating the packages in the SDK Manager and everything starts to work. so i recommend you just to perform a fresh new installation and don't update any packages unless you really need them and update to the new firebase sdk as erel already mentioned and everything should work fine. the problem with Android is that they update so many things in such a short time and this requires us to keep everything up to date. thanks to erel that is doing a very hard (and great) job it saves us a lot of headaches.

I suggest installing bundletool.jar should always be done with a 10.7 upgrade.
Otherwise, further down the line when one might want to use the new bundle packaging, and it doesn't work the reason may forgotten and lost in the past.
Adding it can't hurt while doing a 10.7 upgrade, yet will prevent future hassle.

Sincerely sorry Erel and the B4A community, since I wrote this topic in a panic after installing B4A 10.7 which resulted in my apps not working, maybe because I didn't fully understand all problem
Thanks Admin, please delete this topic for me
I'm very sorry
