[darron1217]

This project doesn't support gradle 7.0 currently.

My gradle version is 6.8.1

[luisfuertes]

But i don't use gradle 7.

I use this and don't know why i can't build with that versions

android/build.gradle

buildscript { 
 dependencies {
   classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4")
 }
}

android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

Thanks for answer, i try to build with gradle version 6.8.1.

What version do you use here?

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4"

[darron1217]

Here's what I'm using.

classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1')

And you can check your gradle version with gradle -v command

[luisfuertes]

I updated gradle versions to your versions.

In local i can do react-native run-android but i use Azure Pipeline to build app and have next errors since i installed this component (with mauron85 component, project build was ok):

Any idea about how can i fix it? Thanks!

[darron1217]

@luisfuertes You must enable Android X and jetifier to make it compatible.

android/gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

and run yarn install or npm install to run jetifier. (If it's not working, run npx jetify manually)

[luisfuertes]

I already had it activated

On local i can do ./gradlew assembleRelease but in Pipeline it fail.

Similar like this issue

[bennyrock20]

Hi @luisfuertes were you able to fix it?

[luisfuertes]

@bennyrock20 no, finally i used this mododule (is not free)

[dev-andremonteiro]

@bennyrock20 I was able to fix this by forking this library and running jetifieron it to update code to androidX, if you can't keep your android/grandle.properties because of other libraries

android.useAndroidX=false
android.enableJetifier=false

use my forked branch in your project.

If the changes I made to this works for other people I might create a PR to this library.
