In easywsclient\CertificateStore.hpp there is a following definition:

#if (GS_TARGET_PLATFORM == GS_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
			static int numCerts;
			static unsigned char *pCertsEncoded;
			static int *pCertsLength;
#endif

 But in AndroidImplSockets.cpp there is only this:

#if defined(__UNREAL__)
int GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::numCerts = 0;
unsigned char *GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::pCertsEncoded = NULL;
int *GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::pCertsLength = NULL;
#endif

 So linker step is failing with following:

  C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/include/__mutex_base:0: error: undefined reference to 'GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::pCertsEncoded'
  C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/include/__mutex_base:0: error: undefined reference to 'GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::pCertsLength'
  C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/include/__mutex_base:0: error: undefined reference to 'GameSparks::Util::CertificateStore::numCerts'

Would be nice to fix it :)

Sorry, indeed "3rdparty/gamesparks" needs to be replaced with "base". I did patch from private repo, and sdk location was a bit off.

Ok, I've managed to change paths and patch succeeded. Finally, it compiled fine. And it's working! A big thanks. I just wonder how game sparks haven't this issue on their site yet. 

Did you apply the patch to this repository?:

https://bitbucket.org/gamesparks/gamesparks-cpp-base

I've cloned the repo:

git clone https://bitbucket.org/gamesparks/gamesparks-cpp-base.git

pasted patch.diff inside

and ran

git apply patch.diff

I'm getting the following error:

error: 3rdparty/gamesparks/include/easywsclient/CertificateStore.hpp: No such file or directory

error: 3rdparty/gamesparks/src/easywsclient/AndroidImplSockets.cpp: No such file or directory

Piotr, the attached patch file should be self explanatory. You can apply it via https://git-scm.com/docs/git-apply

How can a certificate fix a compilation issue? Can you post a quick instruction?

Update: it's not only doesn't compile, but if unreal define is removed to declare those variables - it doesn't work at all. Because GS SDK now requires SSL cert validation.

I'm basically was stuck at this point because GS stopped working on Android.

To hot fix I've decided just to include COMODO root CA, which you can find here https://support.comodo.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/854/75/root-addtrustexternalcaroot

It's valid for a long time, but eventually would be nice to move to system root certs.

I'm adding a patch file for those in need :)
