react-native-gesture-handler: Task :react-native-gesture-handler:compileDebugKotlin FAILED RN 0.69.3 with new arch

Hey all 👋🏼 Apparently, that was related to my SDK & Tools versions. I’ve upgraded from 32 to 33 and all was sorted.

// android/build.gradle
buildscript {
  ext {
    buildToolsVersion = 33
    compileSdkVersion = 33
    targetSdkVersion  '33.0.0'
  }
}

yarn add react-native-reanimated@next solved the building problem

Same problem with android and enabled new architecture kotlin_version: 1.6.10 react-native-gesture-handler: 2.8.0 react-native: 0.70.5

So I solved it by

1. changing kotlinVersion = "1.4.10" to kotlinVersion = "1.5.20" in my android/build.gradle
2. Also upgraded react native gesture to "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.8.0",

After upgrade to new RN and turn on new arch, I got the same issue. I need to clean up my settings.gradle, build.gradle, app/build.gradle following current version setup from RN repository to build succesfully.

I’m using:

react-native: "0.69.5" // (I try "0.69.4" and still works)
react-native-gesture-handler: "2.5.0"

and somehow i need to upgrade:

react-native-codegen: "^0.0.13"

I remove manual linking on settings.gradle since they already linked from build/generated/rncli/../PackageList.java

I also add kotlinVersion to build.gradle and remove classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion" if any to avoid duplicate.

buildscript {
...
    ext {
        kotlinVersion = '1.6.10'
...
    }
}
...

For addition I found issue Android.mk:Build command failed and end up to fix other issue by setting org.gradle.parallel=false on gradle.properties.

+7 I’m getting the same error with Gesture Handler version: 2.2.1

React Native version: 0.68.2

After trying different ways, you can finally fix it by updating to expo sdk 47 and expo dev-client 2.0.1 and update react-native-gesture-handler to 2.8.0 version.

also install expo-build-properties and add the following properties:

“compileSdkVersion”: 33, “targetSdkVersion”: 33, “buildToolsVersion”: “30.0.2”, “KotlinVersion”: “1.7.10”

Good luck.

Hey all 👋🏼 Apparently, that was related to my SDK & Tools versions. I’ve upgraded from 32 to 33 and all was sorted.

// android/build.gradle
buildscript {
  ext {
    buildToolsVersion = 33
    compileSdkVersion = 33
    targetSdkVersion  '33.0.0'
  }
}

It worked for me to

this solved my problem in android/build.gradle

 ext {
        kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
        ...
}

 dependencies {
        classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.0'
        ...
} 

with me it worked.

• package.json

    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.71.1",
    "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.9.0",

• android/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        googlePlayServicesVersion = "17.0.0"

        // We use NDK 23 which has both M1 support and is the side-by-side NDK version from AGP.
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"

        kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1")
        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.14'

        classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.0'
    }
}

I upgraded the kotlin version,fixed it。 Chinese translation into English, I hope you can understand

Hi guys.

React native : 0.71.8

For me what worked was:

1. android/app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

1. android/build.gradle

ext { kotlinVersion = '1.6.20' compileSdkVersion = 33 }

dependencies { classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion" classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlinVersion" }

1. android/settings.gradle

include ':react-native-gesture-handler' project(':react-native-gesture-handler').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android')

this solved my problem in android/build.gradle

 ext {
        kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
        ...
}

 dependencies {
        classpath 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.0'
        ...
} 

@j-piasecki this didn’t work

Can you try changing this line in Gesture Handler’s build.gradle to

srcDirs += ['src/fabric/java', 'build/generated/source/codegen/java']

// android/build.gradle - updating the version change worked for me

buildscript { ext { buildToolsVersion = “33.0.0” minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 33 targetSdkVersion = 33 kotlinVersion = ‘1.6.10’ }
}

// android/build.gradle - updating the version change worked for me

buildscript {
    ext {
 buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
        kotlinVersion = '1.6.10'
 }       
}

This worked for me. Thank you.

    buildToolsVersion = "31.0.0"
    minSdkVersion = 24
    compileSdkVersion = 33
    targetSdkVersion = 33
    kotlinVersion = "1.7.10"

@alejodelosrios 's solution worked for me!

I cannot say whether your app will work after removing react-native-reanimated but if you’re using the new architecture then you should be using the most recent release of Reanimated 3.

The problem is in react-native-gesture-handler library.

“react-native”: “0.70.5”, “react-native-reanimated”: “^3.0.0-rc.4”, “react-native-gesture-handler”: “^2.8.0”,

@j-piasecki Ok I’ve found that after adding reanimated 2.12 to the sample RN-0.70.5 project with gesture-handler 2.8.0, I got failing build. So should reanimated@next be used instead of stable 2.12?

+6 I changed my kotlin version to kotlin_version = “1.5.31” in android/build.gradle this fix my issues

Yeah, the same issue. react-native v0.69.5 react-native-gesture-handler v2.7.1
