When trying to run my react native app on android, I get this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:@react-native-firebase_app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac’.
Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Build failed error

If i commented the react-native-firebase_app package, some other package also return same error.

Example:
`

  1. Add the following lines in android/build.gradle file

    def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print',"JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())
    
    allprojects {
         
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
                force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
            }
        }
       // other code
    }

  2. There will be build failures for Android due to the publish of the React Native version 0.71.0-rc0.

    Method 1

    Add this fix to your android -> build.gradle file as follows:

    buildscript {
        // ...
    }
    
    
    allprojects {
        repositories {
           exclusiveContent {
               filter {
                   includeGroup "com.facebook.react"
               }
               forRepository {
                   maven {
                       url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
                   }
               }
           }
            // ...
        }
    }
    

    What this fix will do is apply an exclusiveContent resolution rule that will force the resolution of React Native Android library, to use the one inside node_modules

    Method 2

    If your gradle doesn’t support above, then add this to your android -> build.gradle file as follows:

    def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print',"JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())
    
    
    buildscript {
         // ...
    }
        
        
    allprojects {
        configurations.all {
              resolutionStrategy {
                force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
              }
        }
        // ...  
    }

  3. I referred to this GitHub thread https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35210. It worked for me!

    The steps I followed:

    • Deleted node_modules
    • Changed "react-native" package version (in the package.json file) from "0.70.1" to the latest patch I found in the thread (that was "0.70.5" for me)
    • Ran npm install to generate again the node_modules folder (you may want to use yarn install if your project is based on yarn packages)
    • Then cd android && ./gradlew clean
    • Finally cd .. (back to root folder) and npm run android to build the app.

    Note that I followed the instructions for React Native >= 0.63 (version)

    Hope this works for somebody else too!
