C Creideiki Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 13, 2019 #1 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.

C Creideiki Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Dec 15, 2019 #3 The b4a file is ok (I used vim to check it). So I should delete the .b4a.meta when i checkout an older version? Upvote 0
