React-native-notifee: Build issue on fresh project

[Jomik]

I am getting an issue installing notifee in my new react-native project. Only notifee has been added with the default typescript template.

    "@notifee/react-native": "0.1.0",
    "react": "16.9.0",
    "react-native": "0.61.5"

The error seems similar to https://github.com/notifee/react-native-notifee/issues/3

> Task :@notifee_react-native:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 6.0.

I think this is a problem with build tools being out of date based on my quick googling https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48427655/cannot-find-symbol-method-metafactory-using-lambda

Are you sure you have Java 8 as your build JDK, you have enabled JDK_1_8 in gradle, and you have build tools 28 for your project? "default typescript template" is located where (a URL) so maybe we could try to reproduce? I imagine if you use the default react-native-firebase template or the default react-native template it would work, have you tried that as a comparison?

[Jomik]

Template is react-native-template-typescript as mentioned in React Native, Getting Started https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started
I did check the JDK version to be 8. I'll check build tools version tomorrow. They could be outdated!
Not sure what you mean by enable JDK_1_8 in Gradle though.

[mikehardy]

This is what I mean by JDK_1_8 - https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/template/android/app/build.gradle#L126

I haven't checked out the typescript template but that's great that it exists etc - I use + love typescript myself so if I was starting over I'd do that

For this though, I'd definitely try the default (non-typescript) template to see if it works, and if it does not then the problem is in the template and the PR will go there

[Salakar]

We've got this running in an app using the TypeScript template so I'm not sure its the template specifically, probably related what you said @mikehardy,

Try add the block @mikehardy suggested to your gradle file; https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/template/android/app/build.gradle#L126

cc @Ehesp - don't think we added anything special on the demo app after the TS template init?

[Jomik]

I have that compileOptions block. So that shouldn't be the issue.
Guess I can add that I am on Arch Linux and have not installed Android Studio. These are my installed Android SDK versions:
I can also add that I haven't had any issues, with this install, on a previous project, but that is a year ago now.

local/android-platform 29_r04-1
    Android SDK Platform, latest API
local/android-platform-28 9_r06-1
    Android SDK Platform, API-28
local/android-sdk 26.1.1-1
    Google Android SDK
local/android-sdk-build-tools r29.0.3-1
    Build-Tools for Google Android SDK (aapt, aidl, dexdump, dx, llvm-rs-cc)
local/android-sdk-build-tools-28 r28-1
    Build-Tools for Google Android SDK (aapt, aidl, dexdump, dx, llvm-rs-cc)
local/android-sdk-platform-tools 29.0.5-1
    Platform-Tools for Google Android SDK (adb and fastboot)

I pushed my setup to a repo here: https://gitlab.com/Jomik/fitnessapp/-/tree/feature/notifications
Literally no changes other than removing the react-native start screen in App.tsx, moving App.tsx into src, and then adding notifee.
master builds just fine for me, feature/notifications does not.

[Ehesp]

What version of Java is running? That's a lambda expression it erroring on, which requires 8.

[Jomik]

It should be Java 8:

➜ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
  java-11-openjdk
  java-13-openjdk
  java-8-openjdk (default)
➜ archlinux-java get
java-8-openjdk
➜ javac -version
javac 1.8.0_242

I switched to Java 13, which gives a different error:

/home/jomik/projects/fitnessapp/node_modules/@notifee/react-native/android/src/main/java/io/invertase/notifee/NotifeeReactUtils.java:103: error: cannot find symbol
          new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(callback::call, 100);
                                                          ^
  symbol:   method metafactory(Lookup,String,MethodType,MethodType,MethodHandle,MethodType)
  location: interface LambdaMetafactory
1 error
Fatal Error: Unable to find method metafactory

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Have you tried to clone my repository to see if the error happens for you? Just to be 100% sure it is my set up that is broken.

EDIT: Apparently the above error is also what I am getting on Java 8 now...

[Ehesp]

I don't have access to clone it.

If you open Android Studio and go to SDK manager, is everything up to date?

[Jomik]

platform-tools is a bit outdated is all, I have 29.0.1 and 29.0.5 is latest, but 29.0.5 isn't available in AUR yet I guess.
I don't think platform-tools influences building either. These are my versions as reported by sdkmanager

SO! I had a broken build-tools-28.0.3 install. Manually deleted it and reinstalled.
This gives me an entirely new issue though...

Inside of node_modules/@notifee/react-native/android/build.gradle, comment out the lines:

   debugImplementation("com.facebook.flipper:flipper:0.23.5") {
     exclude group:'com.facebook.yoga'
     exclude group:'com.facebook.flipper', module: 'fbjni'
     exclude group:'com.facebook.litho', module: 'litho-annotations'
   }

Sorting that in a release soon :)

[Jomik]

Oh, awesome.
I actually managed to solve it by adding

android {
   ...
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
    }
   ...
}

You can close this issue :+1: Unless you want to keep it open until the above fix is done.

[Salakar]

This has been fixed in the latest release, thanks!
