Build error: Unexpected end tag string

[thomascube]

in file build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-es-rCL/values-es-rCL.xml:159
error: Multiple substitutions specified in non-positional format; did you mean to add the formatted="false" attribute?

The error refers to the following string <string name="sumup_calculator_credit">Crédito - %d %s (%s%%)</string> which I assume is part of the Sumup SDK package.

Is anybody else having this issue? Are there specific Android settings I'm missing that can fix this?

[thomascube]

The error is caused by aapt when trying to include the Sumup SDK in a Cordova project.

Error while executing 'Android/sdk/build-tools/27.0.3/aapt' with arguments {package -f --no-crunch -I ... -0 apk --output-text-symbols --no-version-vectors}

Hi Thomas,

The SDK is made for native app only, sorry but we will not be able to provide support in that case.

Many thanks,

I understand that you cannot provide support for fancy stuff like Cordova but it appears to be a general issue with the resource strings in your package. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4414389/android-xml-percent-symbol#answer-4417333 and https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource#FormattingAndStyling

[thomascube]

Most of your strings are written with the $ syntax but apparently not all. We temporarily fixed this by simply overriding the faulty string resources.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your input and glad you have found a hot fix it on your side for now. After having talked to the dev team, we will make sure that the issue is fixed on our side with the next iteration.

Many thanks

Any update on this? I'm running into the same problem (not Cordova) after updating from 2.3.0.

Hi cgerikij,

We are currently working on a fix in the next release arriving within the next few weeks. We will keep you informed when this is live.

Many thanks,
