I created a super simple animation via adobe xd and after effects.

Its basically four circle shapes that move in and out of each other. However when exporting it as a lottie it says “shape” not supported on android, ios and windows? What? isn’t that a super basic feature I don’t understand. In the after effects extension it says shapes aren’t supported but on the lottie website it says it is.

I have the same issue. Also text layers aren’t supported on either iOS or Android. I am having to create masks of the texts and redo all of the shape layers as solids with masks.

It is a HUGE pain.

How were the circles created? In AE or elsewhere?
