Gradle issue during compile android application - auth0 implementation

[kadzielas]

Body

I try to implement auth0 to my android application (flutter / dart), however when I try to do it everytime I have an error about gradle version. When I have 8.3 then error is about update to 8.- when I have 8.5 then it’s about 8.7 → 8.9 etc… I have correct version according to https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/compatibility.html

*SDK: 20 *Gradle: 8.3 *Kotlin: 1.9.0 *Android Studio: Ladybug *Android SDK (Android studio): ANdroid 15.0 VanillaIceCream - API 35 *SDK tools: Android SDK build-tools 36-rc4, Android SDK COmmand-line tools, Android *Emulator, Android emulator hypervisor driver and Android SDK Platform- Tools *IDE: Visual Studio Code

I tried also use SDK 21, Gradle 8.5 and Kotlin 1.9.20 - unfortuantely without results. I downloaded sample application from auth0 apge and some projects from github - can’t run no one of them (I mean about emulator because run from chrome works correctly).

I created few new projects, downloaded sample app from auth0 and some projects from github

I also tried to follow https://docs.flutter.dev/release/breaking-changes/flutter-gradle-plugin-apply

Of course I used flutter clean, pub get, ./gradlew clean build

I would appreciate any support from your side. Please also remember that I am new in the world (android, kotlin, gradle, flutter and dart :)

Hi there,

It looks like you're encountering an issue with Gradle version compatibility while trying to implement Auth0 in your Flutter app. Gradle version mismatches often occur when different components require different versions of Gradle, Kotlin, or Android Studio. Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check Gradle Wrapper Configuration: Ensure that your project is using the correct Gradle version defined in the gradle-wrapper.properties file. The wrapper ensures that the right version is used for your project, even if you have different versions installed globally on your machine.

2. Align Gradle Version: Try aligning your Gradle version to a specific one that is recommended for your Android SDK and Kotlin versions. For example, Gradle 8.3 and Kotlin 1.9.0 should generally work together, but sometimes compatibility issues arise. You might want to try a Gradle version slightly different than 8.3 (e.g., 8.6) if you haven't already.

3. Update Android Studio and Flutter Plugins: Make sure you're using the latest versions of Android Studio and the Flutter plugin, as outdated versions can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Also, check for any updates to the Auth0 SDK or sample applications you're using.

4. Gradle Build Cache: Sometimes, the Gradle cache might cause issues. You can try clearing it using the following command:
   ./gradlew clean build --refresh-dependencies

5. Emulator Setup: You mentioned that the app runs fine in Chrome but not in the emulator. Ensure that your Android emulator is correctly set up and has the appropriate system images and configurations for the API version you're targeting.

6. Flutter and Gradle Plugin Compatibility: If you're using Flutter with Gradle, make sure you have the appropriate version of the Gradle plugin for Flutter. You can check the Flutter Gradle Plugin release notes for any updates or changes that might impact your build process.

If you're still facing issues, you may want to check with the Auth0 support community or Gradle forums, as this could be a compatibility issue between specific versions of tools you're using.

Let us know if you need more assistance!

Hi Sir,

1. When I tried to test different versions of gradle I changed that in gradle-wrapper.properties and /android/build.gradle files (new folders inside /.gradle/ has been created e.g 8.3 8.5 etc... result was the same (if you have a second please check uploaded files in provided link to my github repo "issues")
2. I tried to use gradle versions 7.5.6 / 8.3.0 / 8.5.0 / 8.9.0
3. I downloaded and installed newest version of android studio and flutter SDK / extensions in android studio and visual studio code yesterday
4. I can't run ./gradlew clean build (also seperated) because of error about wrong version of gradle (if is in use 8.3 then error say need to upgrade to 8.5 when it is already done then need to upgrade to 8.9 - never ending story)
5. I think it's correct however I am not sure how to confirm that, do you know some documentation? I was not able to find nothing related except gradle - kotlin - java compatibility
6. Probably I am blind but can't find anywhere nothing to compare compatibility
