Async-storage: @react-native-community_async-storage:verifyReleaseResources FAILED

[Proxy08]

Hey, Whenever I run ./gradlew assembleRelease I got this error:

Execution failed for task ':@react-native-community_async-storage:verifyReleaseResources'.

Hey @Proxy08

What's your compileSdkVersion for your app?

[Proxy08]

here @Krizzu

        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 19
        compileSdkVersion = 27
        targetSdkVersion = 27
        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"

Have you tried cleaning the Android build with /gradlew clean in the android folder? That fixed the problem for me.

@Proxy08

Have you tried to bump compileSdkVersion to 28?

Hi, I have the same problem with compileSdkVersion = 28.0.3, sync + build all OK and previous made ./gradlew clean

Finally, I solved it.
Steps:

• My Yarn version was 1.12.1, so was mandatory update it. Now I have 1.15.2
• Remove node_modules and reinstall it using yarn install / npm install
• Put this code on android/build.gradle:

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 28     // have to match with build.gradle and app/build.gradle ones
                buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'  // have to match with build.gradle and app/build.gradle ones
                variantFilter { variant ->
                    def names = variant.flavors*.name
                    // To check for a certain build type, use variant.buildType.name == "<buildType>"
                    if (names.contains("reactNative51") || names.contains("reactNative55") || names.contains("reactNative56")) {
                        // Gradle ignores any variants that satisfy the conditions above.
                        setIgnore(true)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Now ./gradlew assembleRelease works!

PD: don't forgive place the keystore file to android/app ;)

Hey @manelsanz, sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

I'm glad you got it working for you. By default, Async Storage picks compile/target SDK version from your root build.gradle, fallbacking to v28 when not successful.. I believe this was not somehow picked up in your project, maybe because of the setup.

Anyway, I'm closing this for now, feel free to reopen once it's needed again.

thanks.

I have same problem, I just say it maybe helpfull for someone
/gradlew clean and put sdk version to 28 is working,
I have this problem after update,
Thanks @Krizzu & @manelsanz
