React-native-navigation: Unable to resolve dependency for '...': Could not resolve project :react-native-navigation

[jsphkm]

Issue Description

After carefully following the instructions in https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation/#/docs/Installing, I am getting these errors after completing step 4 for Android:

ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@debug/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :react-native-navigation.

Affected Modules: app

ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@debugAndroidTest/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :react-native-navigation.

WARNING: API 'variant.getMergeAssets()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variant.getMergeAssetsProvider()'.
It will be removed at the end of 2019.
For more information, see https://d.android.com/r/tools/task-configuration-avoidance.
To determine what is calling variant.getMergeAssets(), use -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true on the command line to display a stack trace.
Affected Modules: app

What I've tried

• Invalidate Cache/Restart

• Update dependencies in build.gradle file

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
  }
  

• Disabled experimental feature for Gradle Only sync the active variant, which leads to two more errors:

  ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':app@release/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project :react-native-navigation.

• Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > HTTP Proxy > No Proxy

• Moved google() to the top

  buildscript{
    ext {...}
    repositories {
      google()
      mavenLocal()
      ...
    }
    ...
  }
  allprojects {
    repositories {
      google()
      ...
    }
  }
  

• Updated the gradle distributionUrl to 5.1.1-all and removed task wrapper

• Remove .gradle, referenced here
  
  
  
  1. Invalidate caches / restart
  
  
  2. Shutdown Android Studio
  
  
  3. Remove .gradle folder
  
  
  4. Restart Android Studio
  
  

• Set proxy both http and https in gradle.properties

  systemProp.http.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
  systemProp.https.proxyPort=12345
  org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1234m
  systemProp.https.proxyHost=127.0.0.1
  systemProp.http.proxyPort=12345
  

• Open an issue on wix/react-native-navigation

Steps to Reproduce

Step 1

Add the following

# android/settings.gradle

include ':react-native-navigation'
project(':react-native-navigation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-navigation/lib/android/app/')

Step 2

Make sure you're using the new gradle plugin

# android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

Step 3

Update android/build.gradle

# android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 19
        compileSdkVersion = 27
        targetSdkVersion = 26
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
    }
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.4'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

Step 4

Update project dependencies

# android/app/build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
    defaultConfig {...}
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    implementation project(':react-native-navigation')
}

Sync project as necessary confirming that after step 4 the errors are produced

I'm having the same problem.....

[jsphkm]

@tiagoalexbastos try ignoring the error and proceed to set up as instructed in the docs. I was able to get rid of those errors at step 7, but after having completed all the steps, when I run npm run android, the app builds successfully but does not launch in the emulator. The emulator stays at the home screen.

I have also posted a question on stackoverflow about this

I have same in RN 0.6.4 and RNN v3

I have same in RN 0.6.4 and RNN v3

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm trying to upgrade from RN 59 to RN 0.60.2 right now and it is incredibly frustrating.

[ollydixon]

@inf3rnus I created a new RN project in 0.60.2 and copied the PodFile stucture then adding my own libs. That seemed to work.

[ciawalsh]

@inf3rnus @mrquanghuy - Have you guys added missingDimensionStrategy "RNN.reactNativeVersion", "reactNative60" to the defaultConfig in app/build.gradle?

[CryceTruly]

missingDimensionStrategy

Yes @ciawalsh, but the same problem here.

[maitrungduc1410]

@inf3rnus @mrquanghuy - Have you guys added missingDimensionStrategy "RNN.reactNativeVersion", "reactNative60" to the defaultConfig in app/build.gradle?

Confirm it works by adding missingDimensionStrategy, my react native version 0.61.5

Thanks
