When integrating the Tencent Special Effects SDK into a host project, a common issue is the Gson library conflict. This occurs because both the host project and the SDK may include different versions of the Gson library, leading to runtime errors or unexpected behavior.
To solve this problem, you can follow these steps:
Identify the Conflict: First, determine which versions of Gson are being included. You can use Gradle's dependency tree to check this. Run the following command in your project's root directory:
./gradlew dependencies
Look for entries related to Gson in both the host project and the Tencent Special Effects SDK.
Exclude the Duplicate Dependency: Once you've identified the conflicting versions, you can exclude the Gson library from one of the dependencies. For example, if the Tencent Special Effects SDK is bringing in an older version of Gson, you can exclude it in your build.gradle file:
implementation ('com.tencent.effects:special-effects-sdk:version') {
exclude group: 'com.google.code.gson', module: 'gson'
}
Force a Specific Version: After excluding the duplicate, explicitly declare the version of Gson you want to use in your project. This ensures that all parts of your application use the same version:
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.9'
Verify the Solution: After making these changes, rebuild your project and test it thoroughly to ensure that the conflict has been resolved and that the Tencent Special Effects SDK is functioning correctly.
If you are using Tencent Cloud services alongside the Tencent Special Effects SDK, consider leveraging Tencent Cloud's monitoring and logging services to gain insights into your application's performance and to quickly identify any issues that may arise post-integration.
