Answer 1

I already had the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion on version number 30. I added to build.repositories jcenter() and to allprojects.repositories jcenter(), after that I build the react-native app and it works fine.

My build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 30
        targetSdkVersion = 30
        ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()

        
        maven {
            // All of the Detox artifacts are provided via the npm module
            url("$rootDir/../../../node_modules/detox/Detox-android")
        }
        

    }
}

This helped me when I upgraded my react native version from 0.63.4 to 0.65.1. Thank you. – Trichromat

this saved my day, thanks. this is happening while switching react native versions – Saprophyte

I had to add jcenter() to android/repositories.gradle AND also android/app/repositories.gradle – Geopolitics

In my case I had to add mavenCentral() as I already had jcenter(). Adding mavenCentral() fixed it for me. – Gaelic

Answer 2

For our Flutter Project: Navigate to app-level build.gradle file. Change compileSdkVersion from 30 to 31 and Change targetSdkVersion from 30 to 31

Ruckus

for react native works too! – Prototherian

To piggy back on this answer, you may face a new error regarding Kotlin after doing this. To fix that change the ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.50' to ext.kotlin_version = '1.6.10' in android/build.gradle – Gyrostatics

Answer 3

This problem is for sdk and jdk version conflict. First you can run:

npx react-native doctor

After running this command, if you get an error or warning, press "e", "w" or "f" to fix the problem and download the correct version. I usually use compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in version #30. You can change the sdkVersion to 30 or 31

Answer 4

In my case i opened build.gradle and updated all libraries to the latest one just like below

Answer 5

Update 2021.07

I just had to change the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in my build.gradle file. (YourApp\android\build.gradle).

compileSdkVersion from 29 to 30
targetSdkVersion from 29 to 30

after this change, it started to run.

It worked for me with 31. – Egoist

Answer 6

It happened out of blue with my app one morning without any recent changes - I double checked with Git. The app was working yesterday without any issue. Inside android/app/build.gradle file, changing this one:

compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion flutter.targetSdkVersion
    

to this one solved the issue:

compileSdkVersion 32
targetSdkVersion 32

If you get this on Mac while trying to run an Expo Android app, try restarting your computer.

Answer 8

Seems you are using newer version of Android Studio and your implementation is missing or using deprecated libraries. Otherwise, you could try the following implementation in your build.gradle (Module: app) files:

  dependencies {
  def appcompat_version = "1.2.0"
    // ...
    implementation 'com.google.android.material:material: 1.2.1'
    implementation "androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.2"
    implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:$appcompat_version"
    implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:$appcompat_version"
    implementation "com.android.support:support-core-utils:28.0.0"
    // ...
  }

I have the same issue. this solution doesn't work for me. – Balcony

I solved this issue right now! I just tried with change proxy in this solution : #63157565 that worked for me. try with that. – Balcony

Answer 9

This error "Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath" is due to a network failure

It is because Android studio doesn't have full access to internet connection which is caused by another application controlling your proxy. E.g Charles Proxy.

Solution:

1. Stop/Close any proxy application on your computer.
2. Rebuild the project

Answer 10

I don't know why but somehow my gradle offline mode was turned on after android studio 4.1.1 update and this caused the problem. make sure that that thing is not turned on!

Answer 12

reactnative/node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/react-native-reanimated-6*.aar. Just go to the above path and copy the files and rename what is required, For example, if the problem is not finding 66.aar copy & paste the previous main aar file and hermen aar file in the path and rename it with 66

Hereinbefore

Answer 13

maybe you didnt install one module correctly

check all module installing documentation

I found that I installed react-native-reanimated incorrectly and after going throught documentation https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/fundamentals/installation

the error was fixed

Answer 14

just add these lines to android\app\build.gradle

android {
compileSdkVersion flutter.compileSdkVersion

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
.........
}

jcenter shut down today. This fixed the problem in my case

android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 31
        targetSdkVersion = 31
        ndkVersion = "24.0.8215888"
    }
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        // jcenter() <- comment this one
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0")
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }
        maven {
          url "https://sdk.smartlook.com/android/release"
        }

        google()
        // jcenter() <- comment this one
        gradlePluginPortal() // <- and replace it for this one
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Answer 16

In my case I got below error

Dependency 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat-resources:1.6.1' requires libraries and applications that depend on it to compile against version 33 or later of the Android APIs.

build.gradle file content as
    compileSdk 32
    targetSdk 32

dependencies {
   implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1'
   implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.8.0'
   implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4'
   testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
   androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5'
   androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1'

}

I changed the compileSdk and targetSdk as 33 and problem solved.
