Smack 4.2.0 suddenly started crashing in Android

Smack Smack Support
1

cause of error is this line:

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()

The error message is this:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: U_IDNA_ZERO_LENGTH_LABEL_ERROR

Is this due to some changes made to 4.2.0?

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

I also got same problem.

App kept on crashing after i rebuild the project in android studio.The error is in the line:

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();

The error message is :

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-2

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

…

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid input to toASCII: .

…

Caused by: Found zero length lable after NamePrep… line: 0. preContext: . postContext:

I have added the following in my app gradle:

compile ‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.2.0’

compile ‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0’

Very weird! I am also getting same issue when I build my smack project early today but the build I made yesterday is working fine without any exceptions!

I am also using Smack 4.2.0 and also tried 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT but no luck

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.2.0"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-experimental:4.2.0"
compile(“org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0”)

I got the same problem and I could solve it by adding this line:

SmackConfiguration.addDisabledSmackClass(“org.jivesoftware.smack.util.dns.minidns.MiniDnsResolver”)

It is disabling the MiniDNSResolver, which is causing the problem.

I hope it helps.

I got this issue too.

The issue comes from one dependency de.measite.minidns that pushed a update with a bug. So I fixed it like that by excluding to auto-dependency and including the last stable release. It fixed my problem. Hope it works for you guys

compile (‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.2.0’) {

exclude group:‘de.measite.minidns’
}

compile (‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0’) {

exclude group:‘de.measite.minidns’
}

compile group: ‘de.measite.minidns’, name: ‘minidns-hla’, version: ‘0.2.2’

This is fixed with MiniDNS 0.2.4. Your build system will automatically pick up the latest version, no manual intervention should be required.
