ExternalNFCService crashes when reader is selected from bluetooth list about external-nfc-api HOT 1 CLOSED

Ok, after some random actions like making sure I have the correct versions of all JDK, NDK etc. for eventual Unity Plugin use, I tracked the missing classes to the ExternalNFCService libs folder, where the two jar files were marked as compile only, so they were not available on the device when it was trying to find them on runtime. I changed them to "implementation" and now the classes not found bug is gone. The Mifare Ultralight tag reading works when the ACR1255U-J1 reader is connected to the phone via the USB-cable. When this is true and I start the Pencil-icon reader app then tags placed on the reader get read and displayed on the Pencil (External NFC Client) app correctly. There was a similar classes not found bug here (one JAR-file from ACS was was for USB and the other for Bluetooth).

The bluetooth side, it no longer crashes, but the reader after selecting it from bluetooth never gets marked as being open for business. Also the reader app does not read anything from it when a tag is placed on top of it.

Anyway here is the fixed dependencies section, that I believe was the only needed modification to this quite big project (to Java noob at least).

dependencies {
implementation files('../libs/acssmc-1.1.3.jar')
implementation files('../libs/acsbt-1.0.0preview9.jar')
api project(':externalNFCAPI')
api project(':externalNFCCore')
api project(':externalNFCTools')
}

from external-nfc-api.
