Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS 15.1 Sequoia
• Android Studio v Android Studio Ladybug | 2024.2.1 Patch 2
• React native - "0.69.12"
• "@adyen/react-native": "2.5.0"
• Gradle Version : "7.3.3"
• AGP : "7.2.2"

Additional context
First we thought it's the issue with other dependencies, but even after updating we get the same error, and to remove that error we had to downgrade to "@adyen/react-native": "2.4.0" .

After that we also explore Multidexing as the error was for dexing, and followed this answer , However, we still got the same issue.

Hey @DaniyalShaikh-0

Thanks for reaching out.

This could be a Gradle issue.
What versions of Gradle and AGP are you using? You can check in Android Studio "File" -> "Project Structure"

[DaniyalShaikh-0]

@descorp, Thank you for your message.
I have updated the issue with the Gradle and AGP version we are using

[descorp]

Thanks @DaniyalShaikh-0

Your both Gradle and AGP are old, I am afraid.
According to Google, Android API level 34 (all apps must target it since September 2024) requires AGP version 8.1 at least.

I would recommend updating React Native to at least 0.74

Alternatively you can just try to change following lines

In /android/build.gradle:

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.6.1")

In /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.7-all.zip

If none of the options above are suitable for you - try "solution" from a Google Issue tracker.

Hey @DaniyalShaikh-0, any luck?

Hey @DaniyalShaikh-0, any luck?

Hi Camil,

We have upgraded to latest RN version, with adyen 2.5.0.

The build is successful BUT when I go to the payment, and try to enter the address, it goes in infitine loading mode on Android.

Even if manual address is entered, and pay button is clicked, it again goes to infinity loading.

This issue is observed on Android only, IOS is looking fine.

[DaniyalShaikh-0]

I am creating a new issue for the above^

Thanks for the feedback. Closing this one for now then.
