React-native-fs: Not Working with targetSDKversion 26

[abhi-sharma-lf]

We are using RNFS module in our app, it was working fine till Google API level supported was 22, But Now with google support moving to level 26, The module is failing.

Same here, at least I think it's the same:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-fs:processReleaseResources'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

@JeremyBradshaw7 and @abhi-sharma-lf

I too had the same issue fixed by changing the compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion in

node_modules/react-native-fs/android/build.gradle

and changed it from

`CompileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"`

To

compileSdkVersion 26 buildToolsVersion "26.0.3"

And the build was successful

[itinance]

We should definitely update the buildToolsVersion to 26 right?

[nidhinkumar06]

@itinance yes we should

I have done what @nidhinkumar06 said and im still getting this issue.

@The-Code-Monkey have you done the changes in node_modules/react-native-fs/android/build.gradle of react-native-fs plugin or in your project folder android/build.gradle

[The-Code-Monkey]

my project folder build.gradle

[The-Code-Monkey]

i did it in my node modules build.gradle and it works so ive made a pr for it
