Description

Hey, I’m having some issues when upgrading from react-native v0.64.2 -> v0.64.4. Below is the error message I am getting when trying to create a build or running ./gradlew clean in the android directory. Any help?

1: Task failed with an exception.

Where: Script ‘~/node_modules/react-native/react.gradle’ line: 360
What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating script.

Cannot run Project.afterEvaluate(Closure) when the project is already evaluated.

It was because there are some error codes in my build.gradle, after I removed it, the build worked. I used compileSdkVersion 31 & gradle 6.7 at the end.

Thanks for the follow up. I’m going to close this as it’s not a React Native issue itself

When was the RN Gradle Plugin introduced? Is it possible to use from RN version 0.63?

No sorry. RNGP Requires 0.71.+

Hoewever, you should be fine wiht anything above 0.65+ as that afterEvaluate block is not needed anymore: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/2642fe185f9282ef6e39619617671068f9696008/react.gradle#L361-L373

As a rule of thumb, consider updating to newer versions. 0.63 is not supported anymore

Could you share a reproducer? This is probably caused by a library you’re importing as an empty 0.64.4 project builds fine.

Frankly your on a really old version of React Native, that it’s quite of a challenge to help here. Have you considered upgrading to the latest versions?

Any fix out there? Having the same issue, RN 0.64.4, and. trying to upgrade gradle to 7.4
