Can you paste the first line the you have in main activity ?
...type:

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#AdditionalJar .... ' <----

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
...

often this depend #AddtionalJar or do you have "double" classes

 

[Nino C.]

First lines from main act.

#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: Kalkulator plaće
    #VersionCode: 19
    #VersionName: 1.19
    #SupportedOrientations: portrait
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: True
   
    #AdditionalRes: c:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True
    #IncludeTitle: False
#End Region

#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: True

This is the problem:

#AdditionalRes: c:\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\res, com.google.android.gms

Now this is:

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms

or

#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps
#AdditionalJar: com.google.android.gms:play-services-location
....

etc...depend what you need
another thing...do you Update also Android SDK ?

Is necessary that you read also THIS

 

[Nino C.]

Updated Android SDK.
I made the changes shown on this link

etc...depend what you need

The application use AdMob.
What is #AdditionalJar: for AdMob?

Now I get the following error:

B4A version: 6.50
Parsing code. (0.06s)
Compiling code. (0.09s)
Compiling layouts code. (0.00s)

You must read better the link and anywayt if you search
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=at+'theme'+with+value+'@style/Theme.IAPTheme
You have a lot result

I was always afraid to go to the new version just for the reasons that occurred, that applications will no longer work.

Erel, would not the application should immediately work on a new version, without changing the source code?

 

[Erel]

The application should work without any change. There was a major shift from the old Google Play Services to the new maven repositories.
The changes required, if any, should be minimal.

1. Don't add any #AdditionalJar to your code.
2. Remove the #AdditionalRes attribute.

Do you get any error?

Which libraries are you using?

If you are using AdMob then you need to switch to FirebaseAdmob.

 

[Nino C.]

Yes, it was a problem in the AdMob. Switch to FirebaseAdmob and now works.

Thanks for your help Marco, Erel!
