NativeScript Build - Error executing Static Binding Generator: Class not found android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener

I'm new to NativeScript and took over a project recently upgraded from NativeScript 4 to 6. Here is my environment detials:
Windows 10
Node v16.6.1
NativeScript 8.0.2
Android Studio 11 (with al
the recommended updates to date)
VS Code 1.58.2
I can create a new Native script project with "tns create" and build/run it in the simulator just fine. However, when I try to run the project the build throws the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Class not found android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener
at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Generator.getClass(Generator.java:551)
at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Generator.getInterfacesFromCache(Generator.java:534)
at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Generator.writeBinding(Generator.java:283)
at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Generator.generateBinding(Generator.java:171)

at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Generator.writeBindings(Generator.java:97)
at org.nativescript.staticbindinggenerator.Main.main(Main.java:55)
Here is the run command I'm using: "tns run android --emulator"
I have tried tons of things and searches but no luck resolving this issue.

So I had an idea and searched with a different search engine than I normally use. I did find some ideas which helped me resolved the issue.
I had previously searched in VSCode for variations on "android.support.v4.view.ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener", but only found the log file with the error. Then I learned you have to change the filter options of the find in file search otherwise the files you are looking for can be excluded from the search results. I also used Baregrep to confirm I was getting everything.
I fixed the issue by replacing all occurrences of:
android.support.v4.view.ViewPager with androidx.viewpager.widget.ViewPager
Also you may need to install widgets:npm i tns-core-modules-widgets
Since the files where I made the changes were all non-project files (many of them in the node_modules directory) there is probably something else that involves updating Node or NativeScript that may solve this as well.
If someone else figures that out, I'll be watching this thread for updates, and thanks in advance!

Jenkins aws device farm pugin unable to find artifact / apk

I am using jenkins to do the build for a Android project which works fine but uploading the apk to device farm results in a IOException as the plugin can't find the file.
Build Log
[AWSDeviceFarm] Using Project 'Android SDK2'
[AWSDeviceFarm] Using DevicePool 'Test Devices'
[AWSDeviceFarm] Using App '/AndroidSDK/PlayerSDK/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/PlayerSDK-debug-androidTest.apk'
[AWSDeviceFarm] Unable to find artifact java.io.IOException: Expecting Ant GLOB pattern, but saw '/AndroidSDK/PlayerSDK/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/PlayerSDK-debug-androidTest.apk'. See http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/fileset.html for syntax
Build step 'Run Tests on AWS Device Farm' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
I have tried changing application path to
**/build/outputs/apk/androidTest/debug/PlayerSDK-debug-androidTest.apk
and
**/PlayerSDK-debug-androidTest.apk
but this leads to "No artificats found at this location" error. Any ideas?

Xamarin Forms Ui project (Multiplatform)

I am making this UI for a multiplatform app using Xamarin on my Macbook.
I have set FormsUI as startup project.
Xamarin gives errors when i try to run the project on ios simulator.
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS/Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets:
Error: Failed to load output manifest for ibtool: Unrecognized property list format. (XPlatformFormsUI.iOS)
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS/Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets:
Error: Output manifest contents: (XPlatformFormsUI.iOS)

This particular error has been mentioned in the Xamarin Forms forum; basically, something in one of the iOS assets (e.g. a storyboard) is the cause. Unfortunately, you don't get much information regarding WHICH asset it was in the error. Try creating a brand new solution and gradually introduce your changes until you hit the error.

PaClient error: E0002 Missing profile name

I try to make an android application in delphi but when i build the project i get this error:
[PAClient Error] Error: E0002 Missing profile name; use paclient -?
for Help
How can i fix this?

You may check your configuration as well in Delphi XE 8.1:
Build Configuration: RELEASE
Android: APPLICATION STORE
For instance DEBUG and APPLICATION STORE may result in a E00002 error.

For building Android applications in delphi, you do not use the PAServer nor PAClient, so there is no profile: these are only needed for iOS or OS X development.
To figure out what is calling PAClient and why the call fails, follow these steps:
Run Delphi while the free Process Monitor from SysInternals is active,
watch the Process Monitor log to see when the PAClient is executed, and what parameters there are.
Relate these parameters to the selected profile
Note that error E00002 means the PAClient has no profile name in the parameters.

Also check Project -> Deployment that all items are checked. That worked for me.
(I unchecked all items by mistake when adding some files for deployment manually)

Gradle Error for Android Studio

I'm trying out Android Studio on OS X and am running into a mysterious error message. I went through the Google guide to building a simple UI, but when I finished writing the XML file and hit Run in the IDE, I get the following message ("Test2" is the name of the project):
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':Test2:validateDebugSigning'.
> Could not find matching constructor for: org.gradle.tooling.BuildException(java.lang.String)
I have never developed an android app before, so I don't know how common this is. I did a search for this error and found no one encountering the same problem.
I tried the solution from Abhan and I get a new error message:
Error: org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings cannot be cast to org.jetbrains.plugins.gradle.settings.GradleSettings

It warns you that android plug-in task validateDebugSigning cannot access the debug key. Check your accessibility to the debug.keystore.
On linux or OS X, the default location is ~/.android. On windows, it's in C:\Documents and Settings\.android\ or C:\Users\.android.
