No variants found on Android build

[jongbonga]

Describe the bug I'm getting the exact same issue as #9 on version 1.0.2 for capacitor 3

Here is a snippet of the error log

No variants found for ':capacitor-community-background-geolocation'. Check build files to ensure at least one variant exists. at: com.android.tools.idea.gradle.project.sync.idea.svs.AndroidModule.deliverModels(AndroidModule.kt:191) com.android.tools.idea.gradle.project.sync.idea.svs.AndroidExtraModelProvider$Worker.populateBuildModels(AndroidExtraModelProvider.kt:121)

To Reproduce Followed the installation instructions and run on Android

Expected behavior To not run through a build error

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Android Studio
• OS: Android 30
• Version 1.0.2

I would try this:

• Delete your node_modules directory
• Recreate your node_modules directory
• Run npx cap sync
• Run File -> "Sync Project with Gradle settings" in Android Studio

[diachedelic]

Additionally, you could try running Build -> "Clean Project" in Android Studio.

@diachedelic I have tried it dozens of time 🥲 cleared cache & restarted Android studio, removed the Android folder 🥲.

I have a couple of other plugins capacitor (intercom, barcode scanner, google map) that are syncing fine. Gradle fails the syncing when this one is in, but sync fine without it.

You say it's the exact same issue as #9: but do you also see the message _Error: package com.equimaps.capacitor_backgroundgeolocation does not exist in the error log?

You might want to compare the value of compileSdkVersion in your app, your working plugins, and this plugin. See https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/issues/1635

I tried with 29 but nothing new happened

How about this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/67695836

[diachedelic]

Also, what do you see in the "Build Variants" panel?

I have both API levels 29 & 30 installed.

I didn't encounter any issue with capacitor v2 and corresponding plugin. since the upgrade, I'm unable to build

[jongbonga]

Build Variants

Please help me locate the panel.

[jongbonga]

Went as far as to reinstall Android Studio but the error percists.

In the bottom left of your screenshot there is a "Build Variants" tab.

Try cloning this repository and running the application in the "example" directory. Then we can know if there is a problem with your project in particular, or your IDE.

I tried and it worked fine, but also noticed capacitor is still in RC on the example (I'm haven't tried to update it)

[diachedelic]

This is what my Build Variants panel looks like:

Could you please trying upgrading Capacitor (in the cloned repo) to the latest version and seeing if the error manifests itself?

I just realized that I only test on iOS when adding this comment.

[jongbonga]

Fresh clone, ran fine before and after updating Capacitor 😔

[diachedelic]

Then there must be an incompatibility between this plugin and your project. I can think of these approaches:

• Examine the difference between the build.gradle and app/build.gradle files of the example and of your project.
• Temporarily remove your other plugins.
• Add elements of your project (gradle files, plugins) to the example until it breaks.

when I remove the plugin, this is what my build variants panel looks like

[jongbonga]

• Examine the difference between the build.gradle and app/build.gradle files of the example and of your project.

The only difference is the example uses a "local version" of the plugins & mine comes from node_modules (which I don't think matters much). And my Gradle version is 7.

I will try the other suggestions and revert with findings

[jongbonga]

I created a brand new project, only added this plugin and nothing else

Same error :/

[ktoala]

using this properties in variables.gradle the message disappear, compile successfully and work ext { minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 30 targetSdkVersion = 30 androidxActivityVersion = '1.2.0' androidxAppCompatVersion = '1.2.0' androidxBrowserVersion = '1.3.0' androidxLocalbroadcastmanagerVersion = '1.0.0' androidxCoordinatorLayoutVersion = '1.1.0' androidxCoreVersion = '1.3.2' androidxFragmentVersion = '1.3.0' playServicesLocationVersion = '17.0.0' junitVersion = '4.13.1' androidxJunitVersion = '1.1.2' androidxEspressoCoreVersion = '3.3.0' cordovaAndroidVersion = '7.0.0' }

[diachedelic]

How does that variables.gradle file differ from the default?

Mine didn’t have androidxLocalbroadcastmanagerVersion, playServicesLocationVersion & androidxBrowserVersion per default

[diachedelic]

I believe I have fixed this issue in release v1.0.3. Can you please test? You should not need to modify your variables.gradle file from the default.

[benedictcontawe]

I have this problem to in old projects
