So, I solved this by setting kotlinVersion in project/android/build.gradle to the installed version 1.4.10

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        kotlinVersion = "1.4.10"
    }

.... rest of the code

From the logs in my 1st comment I see that the problem lies in the usage of Unit class in the package, which is introduced in Kotlin v 1.3.50; while the package specifies default version to be used as 1.3.21 as seen here.

So, I guess the defaultKotlinVersion for the package needs to be upgraded to atleast 1.3.50 for proper functioning.

I have this problem and it is solved by adding the kotlin version, but it only works for the debug version. When generating an apk for the release version, the app crashes and shows the following error: Does anyone know how to fix this error?

[SMJ93]

I fixed this by updating node_modules/@segment/analytics-react-native/android/build.gradle line 9 to:

ext.defaultKotlinVersion = '1.3.50'

and used patch-package to save the changes:

npx patch-package @segment/analytics-react-native

your patches/@segment+analytics-react-native+1.3.1.patch should look like:

diff --git a/node_modules/@segment/analytics-react-native/android/build.gradle b/node_modules/@segment/analytics-react-native/android/build.gradle
index 54cffd4..7388e1e 100644
--- a/node_modules/@segment/analytics-react-native/android/build.gradle
+++ b/node_modules/@segment/analytics-react-native/android/build.gradle
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ def safeExtGet(prop, fallback) {
 }

 buildscript {
-    ext.defaultKotlinVersion = '1.3.21'
+    ext.defaultKotlinVersion = '1.3.50'

     repositories {
         jcenter()

Now it builds in debug and release mode.

Hopefully Segment release an official fix soon!

Setting ext.defaultKotlinVersion to 1.3.50 solved this problem for me - but I'm really confused why this all of a sudden became an issue. We haven't touched this integration in at least a few weeks - was Kotlin programmed to start failing forEach((Map.Entry<K, V>) -> Unit): Unit on October 16, 2020 or something?

Regardless - I'm hoping the Segment team will release an official patch quickly.

This wasn't enough for me.

I also needed to add a rule to proguard-rules.pro

The main issue here should have been fixed by https://github.com/segmentio/analytics-react-native/pull/223.

Closing this out unless someone else is facing the same issue with the kotlin version

We are facing this comileDebugKotlin Failed issue again and is open issue here: #289 Fixed mentioned by @SMJ93 dint work this time. Can someone please help?

Hey guys, I have found these two lines in the log: One is: react-native-agora:compileDebugKotlin Two is: Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.4.0.

So then i updated my android/build.gradle. So i basically add this line under ext

ext {
    ....... other code
        kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
}

That's it. It is working perfectly now 🎉🚀✌️
