Is the Backendless Android SDK version on Maven lagging behind the zipped download version?

Android

Meanwhile, I just discovered that in the example app here: https://github.com/Backendless/Android-SDK/blob/master/samples/UserService/FacebookSDKSamples/login/src/com/backendless/facebooklogin/MainActivity.java#L73 the method signature doesn’t match what I have in the

'com.backendless:android:3.0.5'

version in the Maven repo. The version I have has just one

loginWithFacebookSDK()

method with signature:

loginWithFacebookSdk( android.app.Activity context, CallbackManager callbackManager, final AsyncCallback<BackendlessUser> responder )

And I pulled this version from Maven a few hours ago (20 january, 2016).
Are you aware of this?

Hi Ugo,

The library in maven is one minor version away from the latest. We will push the latest to maven this week. Meanwhile, you can grab the latest build from: https://github.com/Backendless/Android-SDK/tree/master/out

Hello Mark,

So any update to the Maven repo yet?

Ugo, the latest version in Maven is 3.0.6. Could you try that one please?

Regards,

Mark,

So I tried this 3.0.6 version in Maven, but kept seeing this error when running my app:

This is without any change in my code that ran without errors when using the Backendless SDK on Github.
