Recent react native version having huge issues with android gradle. still i am finding its solution

[safaiyeh]

Hi @wontone18, I looks like the Flipper version is causing issues.

We have an open PR for it here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/29787

Could you apply the diff to your project and see if it helps?

[wontone18]

I will check the above point. But in my thinking its some where else is the issue. It making all the package components invalid and deprecated. Some of those packages we are regularly using

1. asyncstorage
2. webview

etc. gradle is somewhere making all these issues.

I can see several users are facing this issue but nobody getting a better result.

Same issue by using your flipper github version.

Hi at last issue is resolve. There are few things to be check.

1. check the project structure from android studio (suggestion option and instead of using + in the version put the version no)
2. npm cache
3. if debugging from mobile be sure developer mode should be switch off and on. Or else try with another device.
4. i also deleted my npm_module and fresh install the npm packages but be sure to clean the npm cache.

@wontone18 glad you found a solution.

Currently React Native is not supporting Gradle 7.0, we are using v6.6. Is there any specific reason you need v7 support at this time?

nah i am not using gradle 7 at all. React native already having a gradle plugin package in gradle wrapper. which is 6 but based on jdk version.

Has anyone managed to solve this problem? I tried everything I found in this post and others, but without success.

[PereiraDiegoMiguel]

I solved the error creating a new 'react-native init' with the same name of the app, in another folder. Then I deleted the android folder of my app, and pasted the android folder of the new app. Now everything is working again.

Hi at last issue is resolve.

Based on the fact that original issue filer seems unblocked, closing this issue.

[erssebaggala]

I ran into the same error while debugging from the phone. The cause was I had manually uploaded and installed my app apk. After deleting the app from the phone, and all was fine after

[Js4Life]

Do we have a boiler plate code to fix these incompatible issues for RN setup?

[nasmuris]

for me the ./greadlew clean worked

[Cosby1992]

I had the same error and fixed it by deleting the \android\appbuild\generated\not_namespaced_r_class_sourcesdebug\r\androidx folder. It was empty and saw something about not being able to delete this folder in the error text.
If that does not work, please try PereiraDiegoMiguel answer.
NOTE: React Native seems to have no problem building with the gradle errors. So expect to look for other errors than just gradle errors. I still get the gradle 7.0 error but it builds fine.

[ToqYang]

I have the same problem :c

[CanYouHearTheEcho]

Hello everyone,

Just sharing my experience as I could solve it on my side, so if it can help...

Context:
THIS IS A NEW ERROR. I had not touched RN for a while and I just wanted to create a new project. I got the same error only after running react-native init and react-native run-android.

Solution:

• I followed this previous answer on a similar issue
• This brought to the Gradle versions correspondances
• I updated the classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:X.X.X") in android/build.gradle (it was version 3.5.3, I now use version 4.1.0)
• The next triggered error required to update gradle from verion 6.2 to 6.5. So, I updated distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-all.zip in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

If you still have other errors that you did not have in the past, please notice that you may need to:

• touch /home/$USER/.android/repositories.cfg
• sudo chown $USER:$USER $ANDROID_HOME -R
• Update your SDK (using /opt/android/tools/android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "android-XX" using an adapted version, currently "android-29" works well)
• Accept licences you had not accepted before (using /opt/android/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses)

I hope it could help as I know it is not pleasant to just try to start a project needing to fix things.
