I have tried to rollback versions of both the library and the gradle components but nothing worked. It also mentions several deprecations in Java code coming from the library:

Ok. I managed to fixed mine. Previously inside my android/build.gradle, the kotlin was set to 1.5.31.

Changing to 1.6.21 seems to build fine now. Hope it help those just updated react native 0.72 having problems with building.

buildscript { ext { kotlinVersion = “1.6.21”

dependencies {
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.21"
}

in android/build.gradle change it to:

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        kotlinVersion = '1.9.0'

        // We use NDK 23 which has both M1 support and is the side-by-side NDK version from AGP.
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.9.0"
    }
}

Execution failed for task ‘:react-native-gesture-handler:compileDebugKotlin’.

‘compileDebugJavaWithJavac’ task (current target is 11) and ‘compileDebugKotlin’ task (current target is 17) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version. Consider using JVM toolchain: https://kotl.in/gradle/jvm/toolchain * Try:

Use java 11 instead of 17

Thank you for sharing, @OpenTasteSG. In my case, however, we only use:

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle") classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")

Any ideas on what the problem could be?

With gradle set to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.1-all.zip, get this error when trying to build for android

72.1 here and I still have this problem

Lakston on Jul 6, 2023

React Native Version 0.72.1 fixed the issue here.

Awesome, thanks for the info, I’m gonna remove all the patch scripts 😂
