@HelSirius Right, so in your root build.gradle you have subprojects { afterEvaluate { } } configurations. This goes through all modules that are added to your project, including AsyncStorage.

If Async Storage is used a module (in your case, it is) it does not include android plugin, hence no android block is available.

To fix that, add a check if android block exists:

subprojects{
    afterEvaluate {
        // check if `android` block is available
        if(it.hasProperty('android')){
            android {
               // your content here
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello. I’m getting this error.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Where: Script ‘/Users/user/mobile-app/node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle’ line: 124

What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘unifiedApp’.

Could not find method implementation() for arguments [DefaultProjectDependency{dependencyProject=‘project ‘:react-native-async-storage_async-storage’’, configuration=‘default’}] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Did you get any solution to this problem?

@tido64 Yes I did and thank you @Krizzu

@HelSirius Please add if(it.hasProperty('android')), like in my example. This will ensure that android block will be used in modules that use android build tools.
