:react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' (type 'MergeResources')

[socialmad]

After updating our project with a new React Native engine and upgrading Gradle to version 8.6, we encountered an issue. We have tried various solutions, but none have worked so far.

• What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' (type 'MergeResources').

  • Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'C:\ABSYZ\myhub-app\node_modules\@react-native-voice\voice\android\build\generated\res\resValues\debug'.

  Reason: Task ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' uses this output of task ':@react-native-voice_voice:generateDebugResValues' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Declare task ':@react-native-voice_voice:generateDebugResValues' as an input of ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources'.
  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':@react-native-voice_voice:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' using Task#dependsOn.
  3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':@react-native-voice_voice:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' using Task#mustRunAfter.

Same to me on Gradle 8.0.1:

• What went wrong: Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' (type 'MergeResources').

  • Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'node_modules\@react-native-voice\voice\android\build\generated\res\rs\debug'.

  Reason: Task ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' uses this output of task ':@react-native-voice_voice:compileDebugRenderscript' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Declare task ':@react-native-voice_voice:compileDebugRenderscript' as an input of ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources'.
  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':@react-native-voice_voice:compileDebugRenderscript' from ':react-native-voice_voice:packageDebugResources' using Task#dependsOn.

@socialmad I think I have a solution, do npm install react-native-voice and run the app, avoid doing the manual linking steps, it breaks the app. so just npm install should work

[adamgusky]

Any other solution? @VictorDev200's did not work for me unfortunately

Remove "implementation project(':@react-native-voice_voice')" from android/app/build.gradle file

And also remove following declarations from android/settings.gradle include ':@react-native-voice_voice' project(':@react-native-voice_voice').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@react-native-voice/voice/android')

declarations i used in android/app/src/main/androidmanifest.xml file "uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"

and try now with cd android ./gradlew clean or gradlew clean npm run android

Putting this here so that people who run into the same issue as I did here. These are my build environment:

$ npm list -g
C:\Users\jeff_\AppData\Roaming\npm
├── react-native-cli@2.0.1
└── react-native@0.75.1

  "dependencies": {
    "@react-native-voice/voice": "^3.2.4",
    "react": "18.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.75.1"
  },

Gradle version is 8.8
Android SDK Platform 35

I followed @kovikarthik instructions. So basically I removed the manual linking. It appears that React native handles it automatically. However, I was getting another error:

> Task :app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses FAILED

To fix this, I removed appcompat-v7 from build.gradle because react native was using AndroidX (androidx.appcompat) while react-native-voice module was still using the deprecated Android Support Library (appcompat-v7) which was causing a conflict where the same namespace was defined in two places.

<react-project>\node_modules\@react-native-voice\voice\android\build.gradle

implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${supportVersion}"

i had the same issue and the @jespirit solution worked. One question @jespirit since we are modifying the node_modules, you forked the repository and use it like that ?

[jespirit]

@kxhelilaj I learned you can use patch-package to create a patch that can be added to source control which can be applied during post-install stage https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72820625/what-is-the-proper-way-to-patch-a-node-modules-module Note: The patch-package command picked up some other changes so I just removed those and left the relevant part.

@jespirit remove maual linking worked for me, thank you very much.
