NoClassDefFoundError when upgrading Apptentive from version 1.7.3 version to 2.1.1 version

Question

I am trying to upgrade Apptentive from 1.7.3 version to latest 2.1.1 version. However whenever I call method
Apptentive.showMessageCenter(getActivity()), to launch Apptentive message dialog, it crashes and gives NoClassDefFoundError for ViewActivity. Logs are as below:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.apptentive.android.sdk.ViewActivity

01-08 11:30:41.837 E/AndroidRuntime(30049): at com.apptentive.android.sdk.Apptentive.showMessageCenter(Apptentive.java:619)

My code in build.gradle file is:

compile 'com.apptentive:apptentive-android:2.1.1@aar'

and java code is:

    Button writeUs = (Button) fitnessSyncDialog.findViewById(R.id.button_click_write_us);
writeUs.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Apptentive.showMessageCenter(getActivity());
    }
});

Same code is working with 1.7.3 version. has anyone faced this problem or Can anyone suggest what problem can be here?

Thanks in advance for any valuable suggestions.

Even after cleaning its giving that error. Though in 1.7.3 its working even without any clean build. — Suresh Pal, Jan 08 '16 at 10:02

It is possible that you did not include a reference to ViewActivity in your app's manifest. for example:

<meta-data android:name="apptentive_api_key" android:value="YOUR_API_KEY_GOES_HERE"/>
  <activity android:name="com.apptentive.android.sdk.ViewActivity"
            android:theme="@style/ApptentiveTheme"/>

Another possibility is that you did not include a reference to the Apptentive aar in your build.gradle . For example:

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  // These Google support libraries are required. Use the latest available.
  compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
  compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
  // The Apptentive SDK
  compile 'com.apptentive:apptentive-android:2.1.1@aar'
}

Hi Jake,Thanks for response, but above meta data key is present there. Also the same is working with revision 1.7.3 without any changes. it's strange behavior. As of now, I have reverted my code to 1.7.3. But any suggestions will be helpful so that features in new versions can be utilized in my application. – Suresh Pal Jan 11 '16 at 09:34
Hey Jake, I have seen you used support library 23.0.1 in dependencies. I am using support libs version 22. So is it possible that latest apptentive version is dependent on support libs 23+ version. If so, what is version of apptentive that will work with support libs 22 version. Also if this is the case, the error seems to be misguiding. – Suresh Pal Jan 11 '16 at 09:38
Hi Jake, I found this is the case. The latest library works with support library 23+ only. – Suresh Pal Feb 15 '16 at 07:46
