React native – Execution failed for task ':react-native-vision-camera:compileDebugKotlin'

I have a react-native project which I’ve just upgraded to version 0.73 (https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.72.7&to=0.73.0).

The project was already making use of react-native-vision-camera 3.6.10 for a feature that reads barcodes.

However, when I try to build the Android apk I get the error:

> Task :react-native-vision-camera:compileDebugKotlin
e: file:///Users/user/Documents/project/node_modules/react-native-vision-camera/android/src/main/java/com/mrousavy/camera/CameraDevicesManager.kt:74:3 'hasConstants' overrides nothing
e: file:///Users/user/Documents/project/node_modules/react-native-vision-camera/android/src/main/java/com/mrousavy/camera/frameprocessor/VisionCameraProxy.kt:38:58 Only safe (?.) or non-null asserted (!!.) calls are allowed on a nullable receiver of type JavaScriptContextHolder?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-vision-camera:compileDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction
   > Compilation error. See log for more details

I’ve tried downgrading the kotlin version 1.8.0, to 1.6.20 and 1.7.21, as set in react-native-vision-camera and also mentioned in some comments:
https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/issues/1012#issuecomment-1665622677

But it didn’t make it… The errors get even worse…
Any ideas how I could fix this? Or how could I find the proper kotlin version?

    This isn’t actually an answer, but having suffered through this same issue… the reason I stayed at 0.72.x is because that’s what the react-native-vision-camera demo app is using. Not sure if support goes beyond that point yet.

    the error

    'hasConstants' overrides nothing

    It seems this error emerged following the removal of the hasConstants method in RN, a change that was merged in version, surprise surprise, 0.73. facebook/react-native@bbc3657:

    - public boolean hasConstants() {
-   return false;
- }

    Simply removing the hasConstants() method resolves the problem:
    package/android/src/main/java/com/mrousavy/camera/CameraDevicesManager.kt:

    - override fun hasConstants(): Boolean = true
