please run gradle with the--warning-mode all flag so we can review the specific deprecations. It's probably something like ./gradlew app:installDebug --warning-mode all in the android folder.

I'm not a specialist, but it seams a problem with Androidx migration... This migration will be mandatory?

[morenoh149]

@williamgurzoni yes. Read https://medium.com/@yathousen/the-day-google-decided-to-shake-the-react-native-community-4ba5cdd33388 to learn more about the situation.

[jpomaza]

Followed those steps but I still getting the same error. Any other Idea?

[jpomaza]

./gradlew app:installDebug --warning-mode all

@morenoh149 the only message I get is:

Task :react-native-contacts:generateDebugRFile UP-TO-DATE
Changing the value for a property with a final value has been deprecated. This will fail with an error in Gradle 6.0.

I'm also encountering something similar. Here's the error output I'm experiencing.

Versions:
react-native-contacts: 4.0.2
react-native: 0.59.10

When I run ./gradlew app:installDebug --warning-mode all I received the same information @morenoh149 did.

Error Output:

Update: I created a new React Native project (version 0.59.10) and installed all dependencies successfully and confirmed that the Android project files were in sync, however the bug still exists.

Newer Update:

Solved my issue! User error!

Instead of this:

        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }

I had:

        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url '$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android'
        }

Gradle files are written using Groovy syntax, and only double-quoted strings support variable interpolation.. so $rootDir was being taken literally and react-native wasn't being properly loaded, causing its API calls to fail.

I had the same error, I was using:

versions:

"react-native": "0.57.8",
"react-native-contacts": "^5.0.2",

The build.gradle with:

compileSdkVersion = 27
targetSdkVersion = 27
supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"

In react-native-contacts: 5.0.2 use version 28 in build.gradle, so I had to downgrade to version 4.0.2 of react-native-contacts that use version 27, and now it's working in Android and ios

Working versions:

"react-native": "0.57.8",
"react-native-contacts": "4.0.2",

[morenoh149]

interesting. Moving forward most projects should use at least android 28. @Girgetto is there any reason you didn't upgrade your build.gradle to 28 instead of downgrading rnc to 4.0.2?

[Girgetto]

@morenoh149 I tried to upgrade to 28 but it didn't work
