LocationEngine: services.android.telemetry vs core.location

[P-Zenker]

Hey,

I use my own navigation logic. After updating from 5.5.0 to com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:6.0.0-beta.4 (and com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation:0.12.0-SNAPSHOT) I've got the following error while mapboxNavigation.setLocationEngine:
(com.mapbox.services.android.telemetry.location.LocationEngine) in MapboxNavigation cannot be applied to (com.mapbox.android.core.location.LocationEngine).

Why do those libraries use different location engines?

Hey @P-Zenker 👋thanks for reaching out and report your question.

mapbox-android-sdk:6.0.0-beta.4 depends on mapbox-android-telemetry:3.0.0-beta.2 and as you can 👀 both are betas and major version releases which means that they could bring (like in this case) breaking changes.

Noting here that pre-releases are intended to gather early feedback on the new APIs and to detect any potential issues (you can report them 😉) but they are not intended for production apps.

That being said, we're working on bringing the latest versions of the SDKs/libraries that mapbox-android-navigation depends on here 👉 #697

So for now, I'd recommend you to stick to mapbox-android-sdk:5.5.0 version until #697 lands and a new version of mapbox-android-navigation is available.

Let us know if you have any other questions! Closing this as answered.
