Setup Quickplay Player Libraries via JFrog

• Add following properties with your jfrog credentials in gradle.properties file.

    jFrogUser=<USERNAME>
    jFrogPassword=<PASSWORD>

• Add the following snippet to the build.gradle

    allprojects {
    repositories {
        ....
        maven {
            url "https://firstlight.jfrog.io/artifactory/fl-android-sdk-libs-release"
            credentials {
                username = "${rootProject.jFrogUser}"
                password = "${rootProject.jFrogPassword}"
            }
        }
        maven {
            url "https://firstlight.jfrog.io/artifactory/fl-android-sdk-libs-snapshot"
            credentials {
                username = "${rootProject.jFrogUser}"
                password = "${rootProject.jFrogPassword}"
            }
        }
    }
}

The Quickplay, Moshi, OkHttp3, Kotlin and ExoPlayer (for QuickPlay Player SDK version 7.0.x) or Media3 (for QuickPlay Player SDK version 7.1.x) dependencies are mandatory for basic playback features. According to the UI preferences, the above-mentioned Android dependencies (and more) can be added as required. As more features / FL Libraries are added, the corresponding dependent libraries should also be added.

note

QuickPlay Player SDK code uses ProGuard rules to obfuscate sensitive internal logic and only public APIs are not obfuscated. When building the final version of your app (“release” build type) you enable R8 code shrinking, obfuscation, and optimization by setting isMinifyEnabled flag to true (see the build.gradle example above) you may encounter a runtime crash as a result of Quickplay Player library public API being obfuscated. In order to avoid that you must add to your application project’s proguard rules file a new rule: -keep class com.quickplay.vstb7.** {*;}

If using fl-analytics library you must add to your application project’s proguard rules file a new rule

• -keep class com.datazoom.collector.** {*;}
• -keep class com.dz.collector.android.** {*;}
