Version conflict with Intercom Android SDK

[ryzr]

Hey there,

I'm currently trying to stay up to date with the latest Intercom SDK, which now uses Ably. When building for Android, I get a bunch of conflicts such as:

Duplicate class io.ably.annotation.Experimental found in modules ably-android-1.2.40.aar -> jetified-ably-android-1.2.40-runtime (io.ably:ably-android:1.2.40) and ably-java-1.3.0.jar -> jetified-ably-java-1.3.0 (io.ably:ably-java:1.3.0)

I naively tried to force Ably to 1.3.0

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force "io.ably:ably-android:1.3.0"
    }
}

Before noticing the conflict was between ably-android and ably-java.

Duplicate class io.ably.annotation.Experimental found in modules ably-android-1.3.0.aar -> jetified-ably-android-1.3.0-runtime (io.ably:ably-android:1.3.0) and ably-java-1.3.0.jar -> jetified-ably-java-1.3.0 (io.ably:ably-java:1.3.0)

No big deal, I'm just going to stick to io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:17.2.0 for now, but was curiously if there will be a path forward here in future?

Hey @ryzr,

Thanks a lot for raising this! Yes, we are definitely going to address this issue. For now, you can exclude ably-java from io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:17.3.0, and it should work as expected:

implementation("io.intercom.android:intercom-sdk:17.3.0") {
      exclude(group = "io.ably", module = "ably-java")
}

ably-android fully binary compatible with ably-java, just has some platform-specific functionality

Thanks for the clarification, @ttypic. This was very helpful :-) Happy to keep open for others to find easily, but feel free to close if you're tracking this elsewhere.
