react-native: Execution failed for task ':react-native-gradle-plugin:compileKotlin'.

Hey @tsaurav18 @EJ132 @mickeylam @soundaryamecse after version 0.68 RN introduce New Architecture and for that they have upgrade the Gradle version to 7+ and you must have to upgrade your gradle to 7+

so if you want to use the New Architecture then you must have to update the gradle for 0.69+ : that you have to add distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-all.zip in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

and in android/build.gradle you have to add

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1")
classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
classpath("de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1")

for more information you can follow the React Native Upgrade Helper

hope this will work for you.

Same Problem, waiting for resolve solution.

This might be an issue due to wrong version or absence of JDK (not JRE). Install JDK11 worked for me. Run: brew install java11

sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/opt/openjdk@11/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-11.jdk

java --version

Thanks !!

There are many things related to this.

1 - Open Android Studio and download the latest SDKS -> https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup 2 - In wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

This solved my problem ( Also downgrade some packages)

I changed gradle version and solved it. (*reference : https://bocoder.tistory.com/125)

//before distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.9-bin.zip

//after distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

No one replied this issue react native support. facing the same issues

i don’t think my solution is work for you guys, but this is the solution for my case.

My case is I’m installing Minecraft game, and the installer automatically installs java 8.

So I just uninstall that java 8 and now the issue is fixed

Following this. I am facing the same issue.

I am also facing this issue with the react-native 0.68.2

Same issue here. In package.json I prefixed the version with ^, then yarn install and it started working.

"react-native": "^0.68.2"

Same issue here. Trying to upgrade react-native version from 0.63.4 to 0.69.4

I solve this problem!!!

If you are using React Native 0.60 or above, you can use the latest version of react-native-gradle-plugin, which is 2.0.0 at the time of writing. You can update your dependencies block to include: groovy Copy code

dependencies { // … classpath(“com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin:2.0.0”) // … } If you are using an older version of React Native, you can check the compatibility table provided by the react-native-gradle-plugin repository to find the suitable version for your React Native version. Here is the link to the compatibility table: react-native-gradle-plugin Compatibility Table.

Hey @tsaurav18 @EJ132 @mickeylam @soundaryamecse after version 0.68 RN introduce New Architecture and for that they have upgrade the Gradle version to 7+ and you must have to upgrade your gradle to 7+

hope this will work for you.

it worked for me, thanks

1. open project on terminal
2. run this yarn add react-native-gradle-plugin
3. yarn android it worked for me, thanks

I had a similar problem and after installing https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-gradle-plugin this package everything worked fine, maybe would be helpful for somebody.

As it worked for me, in <PROJECT>/android/gradle/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties i changed the line distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip by distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-all.zip.

in android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
         ...
         ext {
                ...
                compileSdkVersion = 33
                targetSdkVersion = 33
                kotlinVersion = '1.6.20'
                ...
         }
         ...
         dependencies {
                  ...
                classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0')
                classpath('com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin')
                classpath('de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1')
                classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20")
         }
}

in the end in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

added the package

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="<com.<YOUR_PROJECT>" 
>

completed, opened Android Studio and synchronized the gradle…

hope to help

In my case, I assured 3 things for it to work:

In gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

I checked for the last updates of the SDK Platform and tools on Android Studio, in the section Preferences > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK

And finally I uninstalled and reinstalled completely my Java JRE and JDK. Then I installed the last version of Java for my system (1.8.0_381-b09) and the JDK 11, recommended by React Native. After both procedures I restarted my computer, and after the last restart, I set my JAVA_HOME env variable to the place where JDK folder was placed.

Hope it helps.

P.D.: I am running react-native 0.71.8, and its worth to mention that my android/build.gradle file looks like this because of my implementation of VisionCamera to work:

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        kotlinVersion = "1.7.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33

  ...

Thank you, guys!

My problem _[Task :react-native-gradle-plugin:compileKotlin FAILED, 'compileJava' task (current target is 1.8) and 'compileKotlin' task (current target is 11)](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73768537/task-react-native-gradle-plugincompilekotlin-failed-compilejava-task-curre)..._

was solved with two answers that were given here:

1. Installed java 11 and uninstalled that java 8;
2. In package.json I prefixed the version with ^, then yarn install. Update “react native” version 0.68.2 for ^0.68.2

_I added the solve of this problem on stackoverflow too: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75907466/15748229_

I was able to make it work by doing the following:

• in package.json:

replace "react-native": "0.68.2" with
"react-native": "^0.68.2"

• in android/build.gradle:

within

buildscript {
         ...
         ext {
                ...
                compileSdkVersion: '33'
                targetSdkVersion: '33'
                kotlinVersion: '1.6.20'
                ...
         }
         ...
         dependencies {
                  ...
                classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.0')
                classpath('com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin')
                classpath('de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1')
                classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20")
         }
}

I am not very familiar with gradle, but that was the config that worked for me for now.

Facing the same issue on 0.70.1

Same issue. Can’t set the -opt-in=kotlin.ExperimentalStdlibApi compiler flag. My kotlin version is 1.6.10 Edit I upgraded to Gradle 7.5.1 and it works ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 7.5.1 --distribution-type=all

Following this. I am facing the same issue.

I am also facing this issue with the react-native 0.68.2

Same issue here. In package.json I prefixed the version with ^, then yarn install and it started working.

"react-native": "^0.68.2"

I am also facing same issue. Not resolved with above solution. can you tell me what is the gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file in your case.

e: C:\Work\upgrade\truckjunctionnew\node_modules\react-native-gradle-plugin\src\main\kotlin\com\facebook\react\tasks\BundleHermesCTask.kt: (137, 11): This declaration is experimental and its usage must be marked with ‘@kotlin.ExperimentalStdlibApi’ or ‘@OptIn(kotlin.ExperimentalStdlibApi::class)’

Which version of Kotlin are you using? Which libraries are you using? I suspect some of them are pulling in Kotlin and resulting in a conflicting version

same as @thangld322 @amirkhanzada-iinv

@cortinico I am getting the similar error with new release of React Native 0.72.1. distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.1-all.zip

I’ve faced same issue, but after launching: react-native run-andoid - wait till end react-native start It started working normally

It works to me on RN 0.71 by upgrade Gradle to 7.5.1 on gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

and then added this two lines of code on build.gradle classpath('de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1') classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20")

Following this. I am facing the same issue.

I am also facing this issue with the react-native 0.68.2

Following this. I am facing the same issue.

+1 on this issue. I tried downgrading to java 8 … no go … doesn’t matter what Java env it’s running on.
