React-native-maps: error while run android in(Could not find method compileOnly() for arguments [com.facebook.react:react-native:+] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.)

[ariya94]

hi
i install react native map and when i run-android i get this error

how can i fix this??

[nazrdogan]

I was facing same issue. Just follow this guide.

[moseslucas]

same here. I have the same issue

[ariya94]

@nazrdogan I did all the steps but i get error

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong

    }
}

Did you add google() ?

[chaitanyadeorukhkar]

First do this:

https://github.com/react-community/react-native-maps/issues/2188#issuecomment-380757839

Make sure your gradle-wrapper.properties has

distributionUrl = https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

(basically, update your gradle)

and your app/build.gradle has

implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
}
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'

                   or (read docs to see which you want)

implementation project(':react-native-maps')

[moseslucas]

Okay I got it. The problem is that, the latest react-native-maps is using syntax for Gradle 3.
So we get that error. to fix it, either Update gradle 3 or hack the react-native-maps package inside ./node_modules. Yup, inside ./node_modules and change the build.gradle and replace:

compile to implementation

I've created an article on how to solve this problem. By installing react-native-maps properly and upgrading the gradle version to 3.

Follow guide/tutorial here.

[chaitanyadeorukhkar]

Yes. Personally I'd prefer if we moved back to Gradle 2. Because most of the other packages are on Gradle 2. I'll have to generate an APK and put it through testing to see if anything is breaking.

[JohnStratoudakis]

Does anybody know how to fix this for the examples that come bundled with react-native-maps?

[ariya94]

@nazrdogan
yes add it but still i have an error for google ()

[ariya94]

@deorukhkarchaitanya
i done those but get this error

[ariya94]

@nazrdogan
@deorukhkarchaitanya
thanks guys
my problem solved
i change the build tools to 26.0.2 and solve
but build tools 26.0.2 can be a problem for other components like (nativebase , ...)

[nazrdogan]

@ariya94 I think its not problem for nativebase, but can be problem other native plugin. I added my app react-native-camera its makes problem for me and I used this guide.

https://medium.com/@suchydan/how-to-solve-google-play-services-version-collision-in-gradle-dependencies-ef086ae5c75f

[stevemu]

I created an empty project to test the official instruction for Android, it didn't work. I tried every solution listed here but they don't work for me.

[ariya94]

@stevemu
did add implementation method in app/build.gradle?

[raktec]

Does anybody know step by step add react-native-maps in android?
its working in my ios app and i have added lot of effort in android but not successful.

[nazrdogan]

my app working fine with this steps.
https://gist.github.com/nazrdogan/87c63e89a2bfd4cefee24990e4e7ed0e

[stevemu]

I may have found a workaround solution. In my test project, the newest version of the map (^0.21) with newest react native (0.55.2) works under iOS. But under Android, I had to use map 0.20.1 with newest react native version. So what I had to do is have the Android side use map 0.20.1, while the iOS can use the newest map version.

To that, I copied the map 0.20.1 to an separate folder. eg /older_modules/react-native-maps_0.20.1, then in settings.gradle, reference this older version:

rootProject.name = 'androidMapTest'

include ':react-native-maps'
project(':react-native-maps').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../older_modules/react-native-maps_0.20.1/lib/android')


include ':app'

You will also need older version of syntax in configuration files in android side. The installation guide wouldn't not work.

Here is my build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2' // <--- update this
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0' // google-services plugin


    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
                force "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0"
            }
        }
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        // -------------------------------------------------
        // Add this below the existing maven property above
        // -------------------------------------------------
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'

You will also need the google-services.json.

[rborn]

@moseslucas aren't the installation docs accurate? if so maybe you can participate with a PR ? 🤗

[moseslucas]

@rborn the installation doc is accurate but there wasn’t any note telling us that we need to upgrade gradle to version 3 in order for react-native-maps to work.

It’s also worth noting that in the docs, using react-native link is discouraged. But actually we can still use it, then just add just the few remaining configs that wasn’t included in the link instead. That way, the installion/setup is faster.

[rborn]

I agree we can use link, however it breaks if you wanna use google maps on ios. If anybody can fix this I'm all for it

[moseslucas]

I agree, since the tutorial I made is only for Android, using react-native link might not be advisable if you're also developing for iOS. Let's all hope that react-native update its out of the box gradle version to 3 in the future.

[moseslucas]

@raktec I made a step-by-step guide installation of react-native-maps with the fix for gradle 3 here.

[KarimFereidooni]

You can fix this by navigating to node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle and changing these lines

compileOnly "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
implementation "com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:$androidMapsUtilsVersion"

to

provided "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
compile "com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:$androidMapsUtilsVersion"

[LcsLpr]

@moseslucas

I did fix it as well with your guide, I did it again from scratch.

The gradle check passed before, now the project is building but if you do a ./gradlew check there is still a building error :

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:lint'.

  Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

  Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
  ...
  android {
  lintOptions {
  abortOnError false
  }
  }
  ...

Then if you add :

lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }

It will become this error :

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':react-native-maps:lint'.

  Lint found errors in the project; aborting build.

  Fix the issues identified by lint, or add the following to your build script to proceed with errors:
  ...
  android {
  lintOptions {
  abortOnError false
  }
  }
  ...

Someone has a solution to pass the ./gradlew check with the guide of @moseslucas ?

[RyanThomas73]

I attempted to follow the many links/guides to updating to gradle v4 + android gradle plugin v3 only to find gradle then blows up attempting to pull in my other react-native dependencies which are still targeting the android gradle plugin v2 syntax.

[leofontes]

@RyanThomas73 follow @KarimFereidooni suggestion, worked for me!

[koswarabilly]

@RyanThomas73 follow @KarimFereidooni , it works for me too!

Building hack-script:

• run $ yarn add replace-in-file --dev
• create a file scripts/react-native-maps-hack.js with the content:

const replace = require('replace-in-file')
const file = './node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle'
const options1 = {
  files: file,
  from: /compileOnly/g,
  to: 'provided'
}

const options2 = {
  files: file,
  from: /implementation/g,
  to: 'compile'
}

replace(options1)
  .then(changedFiles => {
    console.log('modified compileOnly:', changedFiles)
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error('Error occurred:', error)
  }).then(
    () => {
      replace(options2)
        .then(changedFiles => {
          console.log('modified implementation:', changedFiles)
        })
        .catch(error => {
          console.error('Error occurred:', error)
        })
    }
  )
console.log('react-native-maps is fixed!')

• run $ node scripts/react-native-maps-hack.js at the root of the project.

Optional:

You can add the previous hack to scripts to feel the luxury that node grant.
in package.json in scrpits add:

"react-native-maps-hack": "node scripts/react-native-maps-hack.js",

run $ yarn run react-native-maps-hack to get the code running.

in case of npm

$ npm install replace-in-file --save-dev
$ npm run react-native-maps-hack

[pawarvijay]

ITS WORKING

it repeated this failure to recreate successfull working react-native-maps

react - 16.3.1
react-native - 0.55.4
react-native-maps - 0.21.0

step 1
i created app like this
$react-native init tank1

step 2
I followed installation from
https://github.com/react-community/react-native-maps/blob/master/docs/installation.md

step 3
follow installation from
https://itnext.io/install-react-native-maps-with-gradle-3-on-android-44f91a70a395

step 4
in MainApplication.java
use without @Override

  protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
              new MainReactPackage(),
              new MapsPackage()
      );
  }

Note :
I had doub't about synatx@import GoogleMaps; in AppDelegete.m but this too works fine

[goliath45]

Then you much help me please ?

[ProMasoud]

There are two working solution for this issue

solution 1.
easily update gradle version to 3

solution 2.
change ./node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/builg.gradle

compileOnly --> provided
implementation --> compile

[goliath45]

thank you very very much my friend..

@KarimFereidooni I tried doing this but after trying to build my project I get:

You can see the forked react-native-maps repo I'm using here: https://github.com/jamesone/react-native-maps/tree/rm-airgooglemaps - I forked off of @mikemorris PR which adds support for using react-native link so we don't need to use Carthage (note: The fork contains the most recent rn-maps changes).

Sidenote: iOS works flawlessly

[mikemorris]

@jamesone You could try excluding the com.android.support:support-v4 library from react-native-maps like to default to using the version supplied by what I'm guessing is another package.

compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
      exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
})

Alternatively, you could try something like https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/issues/1532#issuecomment-392081796 to force resolution to a particular version of com.android.support:support-v4 for all packages.

[jamesone]

@mikemorris I tried adding:

compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
      exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
})

but it didn't work. It threw the exact same error as listed here: https://github.com/react-community/react-native-maps/issues/2188#issuecomment-413134041

Hi, any news?

Seems to have solved by upgrading to gradle 3

Here's a patch-package patch

https://gist.github.com/epeli/f7a518f22c485d0cb9c7eb1b12d63631

from the node_modules/gradle.build workaround https://github.com/react-community/react-native-maps/issues/2188#issuecomment-385420099

[jamesone]

Here is what my native android files look like:

app/Build.gradle -> dependencies {:

....
  compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
    compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
    }
....

build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.4' //version required
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        /**
         * Must stay in this order
         */
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
    }
}

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate { project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 27
            }
        }
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        maven { url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android" }
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "26.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 26
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    supportLibVersion = "26.1.0"
}

Once this in place, you'll need to:

1. Install gradle (if you haven't already) (you can do this via brew)
2. cd android
3. gradle wrapper
4. Once gradle wrapper has successfully ran
5. ./gradlew assemble

This is what I had todo to get mine working

I got this error among others that were similar, I just changed compile to implementation in the apps build.gradle and it suddenly started building again. I'd suggest to start with that

I’m closing this issue because it has been inactive for a while. This probably means that it is not reproducible or it has been fixed in a newer version. If it’s an enhancement and hasn’t been taken on for so long, then it seems no one has the time to implement this.

Please reopen if you still encounter this issue with the latest stable version.

Thank you!
