(React Native): Execution failed for task ':app:generatePackageList'

Question

I am generating an apk of a project that I developed using React Native. But when I run the command ./gradlew assembleRelease The following error appears:

> Configure project :react-native-audio
WARNING: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' and 'api'.
It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin.
For more information, see http://d.android.com/r/tools/update-dependency-configurations.html.

How to solve this problem?

Solution 1

I just ran across the same problem and was able to track down why it was happening on my system. Using the --stacktrace flag helped to figure out what was going on, which ended up pointing to the react-native-community/cli package.

After scanning the issues and PRs in the react-native-community/cli repo, I found this PR https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1396 which adds support for Gradle 7.

I had Gradle 7 on my system and downgrading to Gradle 6, running gradle wrapper, then ./gradlew clean allowed me to move on.

Hope that solves your issue, or at least gives you some insight on how to track it down on your system!

Solution 2

Use Gradle Version 6.9

Here are the highlights of this release:

• This is a small backport release.
• Java 16 can be used to compile when used with Java toolchains
• Dynamic versions can be used within plugin declarations
• Native support for Apple Silicon processors

Use Gradle Wrapper to change the Version.

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.9

Solution 3

+1 for downgrade to 6. I wanted to do some upgrades today, but ended up opposite.

Solution 4

Upgrade your react-native version to the latest one with npx react-native upgrade

I had to upgrade from JDK 1.8 to 11 and this error occurred.

Thanks to J Myers answer I found that I had to upgrade the react native version: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1396

Solution 5

Replacing distributionUrl with https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.9-all.zip in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties fixed everything for me. Thank GOD

Gradle doesnt support Java 16 except version 7.0 for Gradle. And react-native-cli doesnt support Gradle 7.0. What a incredible day :/

Correction please ./gradlew wrapper

[Amit Bravo]

I am switching back to jdk 8

@AbdulBasit ´gradlew wrapper´ is for windows users, not everyone uses MAC!

[dontdownvoteme]

this didnt work for me: "Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.9."

Same here: "Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.9" and that's all she wrote.
