Getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException while trying to init the library

I’m getting this exception when I call Shortbread.create(this); in my Application class. Am I missing something?

OS: 7.1 Device: Google Pixel

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: shortbread.ShortbreadGenerated
W/System.err:     at java.lang.Class.classForName(Native Method)
W/System.err:     at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:400)

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "shortbread.ShortbreadGenerated"

I had the same problem.

In my project we’re using a different annotation processor plugin: apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

And i fixed this crash by using apt instead of annotationProcessor:

compile 'com.github.matthiasrobbers:shortbread:1.0.0' apt 'com.github.matthiasrobbers:shortbread-compiler:1.0.0'

Thanks, @AlexanderThiele!

So the solution is to either use the old apt as a workaround

compile 'com.github.matthiasrobbers:shortbread:1.0.0'
apt 'com.github.matthiasrobbers:shortbread-compiler:1.0.0'

or better, migrate your project to the new built-in annotationProcessor syntax. Migration guide: https://bitbucket.org/hvisser/android-apt/wiki/Migration
