async-storage: incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

For all of you hitting Android build issues, please have a look at this issue first: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35210

If your issue is related to Gradle 8.0 deprecation warning, please provide more logs so we can figure out what it’s complaining about. If your build is failing because of this, you probably enabled treating warnings as errors. This really shouldn’t fail your build.

This worked for me and should work for everyone else too.

Something about the issue:

• The root cause of the issue is react-native 's new distribution strategy
• Most of the react native developers are affected due to this
• People at react native are helping to solve this issue: facebook/react-native#35210

Thanks @tido64 for this important information

I am also getting the same issue. Last time I built this project, it was working fine. But today suddenly it gave this error.

I have tried:

• running ./gradlew clean and rebuilding the project
• Reinstalling async storage

But nothing seems to work

When I tried to build the project after removing the async storage package, It gave the same error with react-native-gesture-handler

Like this: > Task :react-native-gesture-handler:generateDebugRFile FAILED Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

I don’t know this error is casued due to async storage or something else I hope this gets solved as soon as possible

I tried many solutions, none worked. Strangely after restarting my machine, the problem disappeared. I don’t know how this is possible…

@Kenjy62 and @SaraChicaD

I am also facing the same issue. Are there any updates on how to fix it?

As everyone has mentioned already, please refer to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35210 to failing builds, due to the recent publication of RN to Maven Central.

Please reopen if your issue is something else

@aditya-upadhye – thanks for sharing! still working on getting mine to work, i did get past the error for this library though!

i ended up cloning a new copy of the project and installing the new RN version and it worked.

@aditya-upadhye - how did you fix it?

As mentioned by @tido64 and @bipinyadav3175, I checked out this: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35210 The patch (fix) for the same was released and all you had to do was update your react-native to the versions specified. My project was using React Native v0.67.2. I decided to move on with v0.67.5 which had the patch. In my project folder, I updated the same in my package.json and package-lock.json files. Then I deleted node modules and by opening terminal in the project directory, I typed npm install and hence the updated version of React Native was installed.

Finally, using npx react-native run-android worked for me.

@Kenjy62 @SaraChicaD @tido64 @bipinyadav3175 Thanking all you people. Because of your active replies and updates, I am now able to run my app without any errors.
