Error Plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings'] was not found in any of the following sources:, when upgrading to "react-native": "0.75.1"

Question

Trying to upgrade react native 0.75.1, using https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper.

running into error

Settings file 'mobile/android/settings.gradle' line: 2

 * What went wrong:
Plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings'] was not found in any of the following sources:

 * Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
 * Included Builds (No included builds contain this plugin)
 * Plugin Repositories (plugin dependency must include a version number for this source)

here is file android>settings.gradle

pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }
rootProject.name = 'mobileAppName'
include ':app'
includeBuild('../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin')

which is what is required from the react-native upgrade helper. tried commenting out the line and adding the plugin in android/app/build.gradle like so

apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply plugin: "com.facebook.react"
apply plugin: "com.facebook.react.settings"
apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"
apply plugin: "com.google.firebase.crashlytics"
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.firebase-perf'
apply plugin: "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android"

but the next line errors out

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating settings 'android'.
> Could not get unknown property 'com' for settings 'android' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings.
from line
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }

so the plugin has to be imported in settings.gradle

does anyone have a solution or workaround to get the plugin "com.facebook.react.settings") working??

Answer 1

check your @react-native/gradle-plugin resolution in yarn.lock/package-lock.json; if you have any lingering other than 0.75.1 (eg i have 0.74.1 left in there) you have to remove node_modules and regenerate your lock file

I encountered the same error on Windows.

When I opened my project in Android Studio, it shown a warning:

Multiple Gradle daemons might be spawned because
the Gradle JDK and JAVA_HOME locations are different.

This resolved the issue for me:

1. Set JAVA_HOME environment variable to C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr
2. Restart VSCode

I had the same issue

this is my android>settings.gradle file

pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }
rootProject.name = 'InAppPurchase'
include ':app'
includeBuild('../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin')

I updated the @react-native/gradle-plugin to latest version but it did not solve the issue.

when I run npm run android instead of npm start this worked in my case.

Downgrade the distributionUrl in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and rebuild your project. From gradle-8.8-all.zip to gradle-8.5-all.zip or compatibility version

Or you can try the trick: https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/1328#issuecomment-2302466257
