  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':app:checkStagingDebugAarMetadata'.

       1.  Dependency 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.12.0' requires libraries and applications that
           depend on it to compile against version 34 or later of the
           Android APIs.

           :app is currently compiled against android-33.

           Also, the maximum recommended compile SDK version for Android Gradle
           plugin 7.4.2 is 33.

           Recommended action: Update this project's version of the Android Gradle
           plugin to one that supports 34, then update this project to use
           compileSdkVerion of at least 34.

           Note that updating a library or application's compileSdkVersion (which
           allows newer APIs to be used) can be done separately from updating
           targetSdkVersion (which opts the app in to new runtime behavior) and
           minSdkVersion (which determines which devices the app can be installed
           on).

Getting same error!

[tmKnight01]

I also meet the issue Do i need upgrade my compilSDK version?

[prashanthkumar1993]

I am also facing the same issue. Any resolution made?

[Lucasmg37]

I was getting the same error. I tried update compileSdkVersion to 34, but I had some problems with kotlin version. I prefered use a previous version and it is working fine.

[Kaung-Htet-Hein]

the build succeed when i change minSdk to 24, but i don't want to change

[khokanuzzman]

Is there any solution?

[khokanuzzman]

the build succeed when i change minSdk to 24, but i don't want to change

not working for me.

[Kaung-Htet-Hein]

can you try changing compileSDK and targetSDK to 34?

[khokanuzzman]

which gradle version did you use? i am using gradle-7.5.1-all.zip

[khokanuzzman]

Yes, it's working. I have just changed the compile SDK to 34.

which version did use im getting the same error

"react-native-pdf": "6.7.4",

[k-saparia]

I think, updating gradle or compileSdkVersion is not going to be solid solution and with that being said, other dependency might stop working and library itself should be compatible with new react-native releases.

[mduc-dev]

I read the source and saw implementation 'io.legere:pdfiumandroid:1.0.19' in that package from android is using core.ktx:1.12.0 @wonday

[ganpatmalekar]

Getting same error, can anyone provide exact solution for it? @wonday

I am also facing the same issue. Any resolution made?

after removingreact-native-pdf and react-native-blob-util from package.json and run npm i after app build successful without errors

[ibovegar]

Same issue here as well.

[ils-anwarshah]

I had the same issues, downgrading the version working fine for me

yarn add react-native-pdf@6.6.2

and added android/app/build.gradle android{ packagingOptions { pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so' pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so' pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so' } }

[saisrinivas-nineleaps]

I changed my minSdk to 24 and the compileSdk,targetSdk to 34 in android/build.gradle file and it builds fine even when the react-native-pdf version is 6.7.5

it worked!! ty so much

[migtarx]

Can you guys confirm what version of react-native-blob-util are you using?? Downgrading to 6.6.2 seams to fix part of the problem for me, but then got Execution failed for task ':react-native-blob-util:processDebugManifest'.

"react-native-blob-util": "^0.19.9", "react-native": "0.72.0",

[sunilksamanta]

Try this in your app.json / app.config.js

[
       "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "compileSdkVersion": 34,
            "targetSdkVersion": 34,
            "buildToolsVersion": "34.0.0"
          }
        }
]

[migtarx]

Maybe not the best solution, but downgraded to the first compatible version of RN 0.62 of both react-native-blob-util (0.13.7) and react-native-pdf (6.4.0) due to my project is in version 0.68 of RN and currently cant upgrade to more recent versions and cant even touch the compileSdkVersion because it breaks my project. With react-native-blob-util (0.13.7) and react-native-pdf (6.4.0) i'm working perfectly fine. Maybe some of you can try with more recent versions.

This works for me which changing amy other config. my RN ver is: 0.72.7

[MarioSilvaPrada]

For me the fix was removing the package name in node_modules/react-native-pdf/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and adding that same namespace in node_modules/react-native-pdf/android/build.gradle like this:

android {
    namespace "org.wonday.pdf"
...
}

[ar-jamal]

I changed my minSdk to 24 and the compileSdk,targetSdk to 34 in android/build.gradle file and it builds fine even when the react-native-pdf version is 6.7.5

this is the best and full proof solution in my opinion. every one must try this one. and thanx @saisrinivas-nineleaps
