Android build error: Execution failed for task ':helium_react-native-sdk:compileDebugKotlin'.

[LeoUbl]

Up to a month ago I could build my android app, but since two weeks ago I get this error without editing anything in my project. I also just tried to build the app from your current github project and I still get the error. I'm using ubuntu terminal to build the app.

Steps to reproduce the error: 1) Clone the project from your github 2) I assume you have already set up react native on your machine, so skip to "Installing" section and follow those steps. 3) cd ~/maker-starter-app ; mkdir android/app/src/main/assets (this folder is used during android building) 4) Build android app. These are the commands I use in the terminal 5) cd ~/maker-starter-app ; cd android ; ./gradlew clean ; cd .. 6) react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res 7) react-native run-android

Steps 5 and 6 return some warnings, step 7 returns errors like: e: Incompatible classes were found in dependencies. Remove them from the classpath or use '-Xskip-metadata-version-check' to suppress errors e: /home/my_ubuntu_username/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/2cfe106a332c6a6f2245988cf5920bcb/transformed/jetified-kotlin-stdlib-common-1.6.10.jar!/META-INF/kotlin-stdlib-common.kotlin_module: Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.1.15.

The final error says:

I found a similar issue on github which seems got fixed, here's the link: https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-react-native/issues/645

Can you please fix this problem on your github project too? Thanks in advance

@LeoUbl Could you try this #49 branch and let me know if you are still facing the issue? https://github.com/helium/maker-starter-app/tree/feature/upgrade-rn-0.70.6

@matthewcarlreetz I just tried to clone your branch with VSCode but I get this error: "Git: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/helium/maker-starter-app/tree/feature/upgrade-rn-0.70.6' not found."

I think your branch is private because when I click on the branches menu of this project I can see only these 3 branches: main, feature/theme and feat/ci.

Let me know when I will be able to clone your branch. For this week I'm at work until 9 hours from now (so until 6 p.m. at UTC+1), in case you will give me news later I will be able to check this on Monday. Thanks

@LeoUbl I solved the problem First, download the latest code Second, Add kotlinVersion = "1.6.10" and classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion" these code in build.gradle. Look at the picture below.

Thank you very much!!! @Corniot . Using the latest code and adding the kotlinVersion fixed the problem. @matthewcarlreetz I think you should include the kotlinVersion in the next code version as soon as possible because the current version isn't enough to fix the problem. Thanks.

I'm closing this since the latest version seems to compile correctly. Thanks everyone
