React native – Can't solve: Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase_app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

I’ve been creating an app with react native and keep running into this error. So far, all I’ve done has been to create a new project, make some basic pages for it with javascript in WebStorm and then now I’m trying to add support for firebase using react native firebase. With that, I haven’t even done anything yet I’m just trying to add the dependency and get it to run/build successfully. And I keep running into this error:

Task :react-native-firebase_app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase_app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-firebase_app:androidJdkImage'.
Failed to transform core-for-system-modules.jar to match attributes {artifactType=_internal_android_jdk_image, org.gradle.libraryelements=jar, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime}.
Execution failed for JdkImageTransform: /Users/--/Library/Android/sdk/platforms/android-34/core-for-system-modules.jar.
Error while executing process /Users/--/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-21.0.2/Contents/Home/bin/jlink with arguments {--module-path /Users/benfirstenberg/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/2971c19c96d163790ed915ee103f441f/transformed/output/temp/jmod --add-modules java.base --output /Users/benfirstenberg/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/2971c19c96d163790ed915ee103f441f/transformed/output/jdkImage --disable-plugin system-modules}

I’ve seen a few other people get this error and I’ve tried to replicate what they did, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I tried installing jetify. I tried uninstalling react-native-firebase and reinstalling it. I tried running ./gradlew clean. I tried correcting JAVA_HOME and ANDROID_HOME (although tbh I’m not certain I did those correctly). I installed JDK 21 and think I set it up correctly (again not certain).

I’d appreciate any help you can give. If the answer is that I need to update something or change a path like JAVA_HOME or ANDROID_HOME, I’d appreciate some help on knowing which to choose.

Thanks all

    SOLVED. If anyone out there ever runs into this and can't get past it, you need to install JDK 17, not JDK 21.

    I'll preface by saying I have no idea what I'm doing, but to do so, I downloaded the JDK from oracle (yes, they tell you not to but go ahead and do it), then added it to the directory /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and then changed JAVA_HOME to reflect that new directory. It SEEMS to be okay to have more than one JDK (I have 17 and 21 in that directory) but I have a feeling it might come back to haunt me later.

    try these .

    1. update the latest version of gradle in your project

    2.clean rebuild the project – for that run the following commands in your project’s root directory it will clean and rebuild your project

    cd /path/to/your/project
./gradlew clean
./gradlew assembleDebug
    1. updating the react-native-firebase_app dependency to the latest version.(will be better to know what version you are using )
