[alfacommunication-alessandro]

Problem
Command gradlew assembleRelease fail

Step to reproduce

1. Start a Native Code project (0.58.3) from scratch.
2. Install react-native-ble-plx
3. Build for release

Output
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: Android resource linking failed Output: .../AwesomeProject/node_modules/react-native-ble-plx/android/build/intermediates/res/merged/release/values-v28/values-v28.xml:7: error: resource android:attr/dialogCornerRadius not found.

Workaround
Edit node_modules/react-native-ble-plx/android/build.gradle and change:
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "28.0.2"

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 18 declared in library [:react-native-ble-plx] /Users/willlyrob/projects/react-native-apps/blePLXDemo/node_modules/react-native-ble-plx/android/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/debug/processDebugManifest/merged/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16
    Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 16,
        or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 18,
        or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.polidea.reactnativeble" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

@crobinson42 Please set your app's minSdkVersion to 18 or above. It's mentioned in README file.

@Cierpliwy does not work, even setting minSdkVersion it to 20/23/27

Current working solution

In /android/build.gradle after allprojects:

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
            }
        }
    }
}

It should work now without a fix from the above post in version 1.0.3. However, it's an OK solution if you have similar problems with other dependencies Please reopen if the bug occurs again.
