[🐛] BUILD FAILED only android

[lottemarines]

Issue

Hi guys!

Only Android build fails... Could you give me some advice?

$ yarn add react-native-google-mobile-ads
$ pod install
$ code app.json
{
  expo : {
       my expo settings
  },
// added settings.
  "react-native-google-mobile-ads": {
    "android_app_id": "*******",
    "ios_app_id": "*******",
  }
}
$ yarn ios

=> it works.

$ yarn android

=>error code is bellow.

Hi, You need to use Gradle version 7+ and compile sdk version 31+. Can you upgrade your gradle versions and compile sdk version then retry?

[mikehardy]

Yep - your report was complete enough we were able to provide help immediately, this is actually a rare thing (good bug reports!) in open-source-land so kudos for that, seriously :-)

I'm going to close this presumptively as we know it will compile, and that error message was explicit:

 > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
     dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
     is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).

After rebuilding with compileSdkVersion 31 you should be set. We can always reopen if not, and comment freely either way
