danikula/AndroidVideoCache is not available

[a-mar-se]

react-native-video-cache needs the following package to work on android: Android: https://github.com/danikula/AndroidVideoCache

As it is not available, this package is also not working.

On npx react-native run-android I get this error:

error Failed to install the app. Make sure you have the Android development environment set up: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.
Error: Command failed: ./gradlew app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081

Any help on how to install https://github.com/danikula/AndroidVideoCache ?

I get the same error in React Native version 0.71.3. Is there any solution?

This usually happens when you forget to add allprojects { repositiries { maven { url } } } as mentioned in the README to your build file.

Your android/build.gradle file should look like:

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

buildscript {
    // [ omitted ], generated by react-native
}
allprojects {  // <- you should have added this
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-video-cache/android/libs" // <- build files for AndroidVideoCache
        }
    }
}

If you actually go to node_modules/react-native-video-cache/android/libs you will find the build files for the missing android build dependency.

Hey I have already added this in the url still failing any fixes... cross verified as well the path I added seems perfect but still getting error

Hi 👋 Path to the libs suggested above, is not correct ⬆️

Here solution I found by going through the directories

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            maven { url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-video-cache-control/android/libs" }
        }
    }

This worked for me 🚀

Also still having this error, but it changed slightly after adding the maven repo.

     Searched in the following locations:

So it seems that it found something at least as it doesn't list the searched locations anymore.

I'm using expo with the following listed in the plugins config:

      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "extraMavenRepos": [
              "../../node_modules/react-native-video-cache/android/libs"
            ]
          }
        }
      ],
