Seems like dialogCornerRadius, fontVariationSettings and ttcIndex are remobetween android sdk 26 and 28.

Join a screenshot or video of the problem on the simulator or device?

Show us the code you are using?

(We can close this issue)

It went away in version

• "react-native-splash-screen": "^3.2.0",

I can see that following was added to build.gradle in the code.

def supportLibVersion = rootProject.hasProperty('supportLibVersion') ? rootProject.supportLibVersion : DEFAULT_SUPPORT_LIB_VERSION
...
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:$supportLibVersion"

I believe this fixed my issue.

You have closed this issue as described above and I've that same code already in build.gradle file of react-native-splash-screen but although not having effect of it.
Having trouble, If any one has any solution then they can suggest.

Solved
well, I updated my android/build.gradlew to have version as below, and it works.

ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }

Try running it with
./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of ./gradlew assembleRelease

[lethanhhai1108]

Try running it with

[sumudu-dewasurendra]

Try running it with
./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of ./gradlew assembleRelease

apk was generated but cannot install to the devices. Can anyone explain me why is that?

[arthedza]

Try running it with
./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of ./gradlew assembleRelease

I am using 3.0.6 and same error appears
{ "react-native-splash-screen": "3.0.6", }

After some searching I found a solution, just inserted some code of lines in myApp android/build.gradle
subprojects { afterEvaluate {project -> if (project.hasProperty("android")) { android { compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion } } } }

That worked but I also tried the one @Purvik told,
buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 28 targetSdkVersion = 28 supportLibVersion = "28.0.0" } .... }

That worked too!
