React native – Problem wit react-native-selectable-text package

I am trying to use react-native-selectable-text in my react native project. but when I build the project on android emulator it fails and this message appears

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong: Could not determine the dependencies of task ':react-native-selectable-text:bundleLibCompileToJarDebug'. > Could not create task ':react-native-selectable-text:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'. > In order to compile Java 9+ source, please set compileSdkVersion to 30 or above

Can any body tell me how can I solve this problem please?

I did the steps of adding package according to the instructions in documantation but as I using kotlin instead of java When adding RNSelectableTextPackage() to the list returned by getPackages function in MainActivity.kt I couldn’t find the getPackages function so I added this lines to the ‘MainActivity’ class

override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> = PackageList(this).packages.apply { new RNSelectableTextPackage() }

I tried this by both "add" and "new", but none of them worked.

    I found the solution at this answer

    by adding the code below to buildscripts section in build.gradle file:

    subprojects { subproject ->
afterEvaluate{
    if((subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android') || subproject.plugins.hasPlugin('android-library'))) {
        android {
            compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
            buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
        }
    }
}

    }

    • The error message you’re seeing is because the react-native-selectable-text package requires a compileSdkVersion of 30 or above. This is because the package uses Java 9+ features, which are not supported by default in older versions of Android.

    • Open your android/app/build.gradle file & Update the compileSdkVersion to 30 or above.

      android {
  compileSdkVersion 30 // or a higher version
  defaultConfig {
      applicationId "com.yourprojectname"
      minSdkVersion 21
      targetSdkVersion 30
      versionCode 1
      versionName "1.0"
  }
  // ...
}

    • Regarding the getPackages function, it seems like you’re using a Kotlin-based React Native project. In this case, you should add the RNSelectableTextPackage to the list of packages returned by the packages function in your MainActivity.kt

      override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> {
  return PackageList(this).packages.apply {
      add(RNSelectableTextPackage())
  }
}

    Note : If you’re using a newer version of React Native that uses autolinking, you may not need to manually add the package to the list of packages.
