Task :react-native-screens:compileReleaseKotlin FAILED

[Gabotron-ES]

Description

When doing a gradlew clean assembleRelease to get .aab file of my react-native appI get the following:

> Task :react-native-screens:compileReleaseKotlin FAILED
e: org.jetbrains.kotlin.util.KotlinFrontEndException: Exception while analyzing expression in (15,47) in C:/xampp/htdocs/WOO!/node_modules/react-native-screens/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/SearchViewFormatter.kt

And:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-screens:compileReleaseKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction

It seems .jar file seems missing, this started happening after I changed my app package name (I think...)

I tried upgrading kotlin version to 1.8.0 inside build.gradle but still getting the same error.

kotlinVersion = "1.8.0" //added this inside ext
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.0" //added this inside dependencies

My package.json file

"react-native": "0.68.5",
"react-native-screens": "^3.19.0"

I have been stuck with this for a while, I can't uninstall react-native-screens library since react-narive-navigation has a dependency on it (it seems)

Steps to reproduce

1. Changed package name of my app from com.appname tp com.enterprisename.packagename
2. did a gradlew clean assembleRelease to get .aab file
3. App fails to build when it gets to react-native-screens (error seems to be related to kotlin)

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

Hi, @Gabotron-ES, would you mind checking out

kotlinVersion = "1.6.21"

(same version for Kotlin Gradle Plugin)

This is the version we use inside the library and test with.

Moreover you should definitely try out standard approach - reinstall the dependencies: rm -fr node_modules yarn.lock && yarn install and then try to build.

I've tried to build react-native-screens with react-native@0.68.5 and it seems to be working fine. This indicates that this is likely some misconfiguration on your side.

To be able to help you in more concrete wat I would need a repository with a reproduction.

Tried it but getting the same error:

e: org.jetbrains.kotlin.util.KotlinFrontEndException: Exception while analyzing expression at (15,47) in C:/xampp/htdocs/WOOO!/node_modules/react-native-screens/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/SearchViewFormatter.kt

It happens after I change package name of app, followed this tutorial:

@Gabotron-ES, do you think it is possible for you to provide a reproduction of this issue? It is rather hard to guess what is unusual about your setup, especially that I have not encountered this issue earlier.

I had a similar screens:compileReleaseKotlin failure with:

• react-native-screens@3.20.0
• react-native@0.64.4
• ext.kotlinVersion = '1.3.50'

Bumping to Kotlin to 1.6.21 resolved this for me.

Any Solutions?

I had same issue when compiling android, I solved it by this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Fhp_1ZxQeg&ab_channel=SgtSam

[ahmed-raza12]

if it happened after name change, go to mainactivity,kt mainapplication.kt files and at top change your old package name with new one. it should resolve the problem. also update react-native rename global pkg so you dont face this problem again

Hey I solved this issue by upgrading the react-native-screens, i think it was the conflict in the kotlin version mentioned in the build.gradle under node moduls -> react-native-screens-> android and the one i was using in the build.gradle of the root project. (that is android -> build.gradle).

[RobertSavage]

After days and days of trying everything. I just decided to do this and it fixed the problem.

Steps to fix: I deleted my android folder. Created a new temp react native project copied the new android folder over

( Thank you @ahmed-raza12 for this next part ) Ran these commands to rename everything: sudo npm install -g react-native-rename react-native-rename "{project name}"
react-native-rename "{project name}" -b com.{project name}.{project name}

Hey! 👋

This is the version we use inside the library and test with.

Moreover you should definitely try out standard approach - reinstall the dependencies: rm -fr node_modules yarn.lock && yarn install and then try to build.

Thank you Doing this worked for me

rm -fr node_modules package-lock.json && npm install
