Facebook native SDK conflicts with Parse4CN1 on Android - codenameone

Question

I'm currently having some trouble with an issue that was previously fixed through a build hint some time ago as you can see in the following thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/codenameone-discussions/parse4cn1%7Csort:date/codenameone-discussions/4xipU9Sy5rY/IbX1YMmGBQAJ
I'm still keeping the build hint android.excludeBolts=true as well as the facebook.appId build hint set to my app id, but it now fails with the following error:

On the other hand, if I set the android.excludeBolts build hint to false I get the problem presented on the previously mentioned thread:

I think this might be being caused by the change to a newer version of the Facebook SDK, but couldn't confirm it. Could you please help me out with this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm guessing this relates to the second answer in this question. This was caused because of this fix. As a temporary workaround you can probably set the SDK to the older/deprecated facebook SDK with the build hint: android.facebookSdkVersion=4.7.0.
To property fix this problem (if that answer is indeed correct) you will need to add parse bolts to the build hints:
android.gradleDep=compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-tasks:1.4.0'; compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-applinks:1.4.0';
