Async-storage: [Android] Deprecated Gradle features making it incompatible with Gradle 6.0

[suraneti]

Current behavior

Task :@react-native-community_async-storage:generateDebugRFile
Changing the value for a property with a final value has been deprecated. This will fail with an error in Gradle 6.0.

Hi @suraneti,

Gradle 6.0 info is a warning. The real issue is reactnativecommunity/asyncstorag e/AsyncStorageModule.java:26: error: package com.facebook.react.module.annotations does not exist

Seems like your RN dependencies are not synced/added correctly. Try cleaning up your project/removing node_modules and install everything again.

[suraneti]

@Krizzu after I've cleaned up gradle and re-install node_modules, problem seem to be solved now.

[MUllman]

Im having this issue currently, cleaned gradel and reinstalled node_modules, any tips?

[suraneti]

@MUllman here my RN info and library version, I still don't know what is root of this problem.

Check your app/build.gradle dependencies (if it has indeed RN dep), clean gradle and yarn caches, remove node_modules resync everything.

If you're working in android, remove .idea/modules and restart it.

Worked for me after I had been trying to debug the problem for several hours.

Further, try to also incorporate the step provided as a solution in this similar stackoverflow issue

[wkwyatt]

Solution doesn't work on my app @Krizzu

Tried:

• rm -rf node_modules
• clean gradle
• npm i
• npm start -- --reset-cache
• unlink and link module

Issue still appears
AsyncStorageModule: error: package com.facebook.react.module.annotations does not exist

[suraneti]

@wkwyatt maybe your RN < 0.60 and some library required RN >= 0.60

can you provide your package.json?

[CptFabulouso]

I think I had slightly different issue, but the error above was there too and what helped me was this

./gradlew clean
rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches/*

[Xumochuan]

./gradlew clean is OKAY

After removing .gradle folder and build folder inside android folder of react native project, everything is work for me.
