Update MercadoPago Android SDK

[franblanco95]

Describe the bug

Hello guys, I'm having a problem when uploading my application to the playstore..

It says that the app contains the SDK com.mercadopago.android.px:services 4.45.0, which does not comply with the new PlayStore policies on data security.

That's why they ask to update the SDK to 4.53.2. There is time until October 25, otherwise we must uninstall the application library, because the updates will be rejected.

i am facing with the same problem. I have updated the skd version in the package.json file (line 145) to version 4.53.2 but Android Studio cannot resolve com.mercadopago.android.px:checkout:4.53.2
Seeing the documentation of the px-android repo of mercadopago, they have moved the latest version to a new repository

repositories {
     ...
     maven {
         url 'https://artifacts.mercadolibre.com/repository/android-releases/'
     }
}

I have changed and updated as indicated there and I was able to compile with version 4.53.2, but when I upload the update to the Play Store it keeps rejecting me for the same reason

Hi guys! I've found a little solution for this issue. I have add mave url that specifies by mercadolibre, inside build.gradle from android folder of the project.
Then edit sdKVersion inside package.json of the library
Thats work for me.

Hi @checomendoza would you mind to make a PR with your solution? We can merge it and make a release.

We've published v0.8.0, so you can fix the upgrade issue by installing the newer version doing:

npm i @blackbox-vision/[email protected]

I make it work doing a couple of changes, on the package I need to change the kotlin version to >=1.5.0
I tried with 1.7.10:

Then on android/build.gradle of the app I need to add:

I don't know why I need to do the latter, in the build.gradle of the library there is already this same thing

[franblanco95]

Hello guys, the workaround that @Marcoo09 shares works okey.

When you add the maven url on android>build.gradle and build, android studio says that the kotlin version of the library has to be changed... So updating it will fix the problem! Thank you marco
