Generate address from publid key with symbol sdk

Technical Discussion
#1

What’s the right way to get the address from its public key (as published in the opt-in transaction)?
I tried

Address.createFromPublicKey(Convert.utf8ToHex("${publicKey}"), NetworkType.MAIN_NET)

but it doesn’t match. What’s the wrong in this code?

#2

Why are you using NEM sdk? Shouldnt be it Symbol sdk since this is Symbol public key (in tx)?

#3

Sorry, it’s a habit of typing nem sdk, I meant symbol sdk indeed, and I edited the subject. Thanks for the notice, I might have missed it and wonder why I don’t get answers :slight_smile:

I found it, I needed to use PublicAccount:

var pa = PublicAccount.createFromPublicKey("${publicKey",NetworkType.MAIN_NET)
process.stdout.write(pa.address.pretty());
