Does SpongyCastle support DERObject class?

Question

I'm attempting to use the equivalent of the following class in an Android application, where I'm using Spongy Castle 1.54:

org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERObject

I cannot import org.spongycastle.asn1.DERObject, nor does the BouncyCastle API reference list DERObject under the deprecated classes list.

Does Spongy Castle simply not support this class?

Answer 1

In newer versions of BouncyCastle and SpongyCastle, the DERObject class no longer exists.

In SpongyCastle it was replaced by org.spongycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive (note that the package name was also changed), and in BouncyCastle it was replaced by org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive

You can check what changed from older versions in this link, specially in the "ASN.1 Changes" section:

Old Class            New Class
ASN1Object           ASN1Primitive
ASN1Encodable        ASN1Object
DEREncodable         ASN1Encodable
DERObject            ASN1Primitive
DERString            ASN1String
DERObjectIdentifier  ASN1ObjectIdentifier
X509Name             X500Name
DERInteger           ASN1Integer
DEREnumerated        ASN1Enumerated
X509Attributes       X509AttributeIdentifiers
X509Extension        Extension
