Can't build after updating to RN 56 - Execution failed for task ':react-native-photo-view:verifyReleaseResources'

[ds8k]

I'm unable to generate a release build after upgrading to React Native 56:

Looks like compileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion, and targetSdkVersion in build.gradle need to be updated. They're pointing to old versions right now:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
    }
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}

I got the similar issue on new RN 0.56 project:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-photo-view:processReleaseResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

build.gradle:

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "26.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 26
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    supportLibVersion = "26.1.0"
}

Yeah seeing the same here.

I manually bumped the compileSdkVersion to 26 in the build.gradle and that got it to compile.

You can't change a module like that. This module needs to be updated !!!

I got the same issue !

Not the best solution I agree, but if you use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package you can at least get on with your project while waiting for a update.

I made a fork with the PR modifications here #174 you can now install correctly this module with my fork https://github.com/tomtom94/react-native-photo-view

"dependencies": {
  "react-native-photo-view": "git+https://github.com/tomtom94/react-native-photo-view.git"
}

or

npm i https://github.com/tomtom94/react-native-photo-view.git

Wasn't this resolved? Currently experiencing it on RN 0.59.0.

[tomtom94]

No the solution is you make a fork and change it yourself, or use straight my own fork https://github.com/tomtom94/react-native-photo-view cheers

@ds8k: You should take the following changes:

Go to react-native-photo-view/android/build.gradle
Change:

> compileSdkVersion 23
>     buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
> 
>     defaultConfig {
>         minSdkVersion 16
>         targetSdkVersion 23
>         versionCode 1
>     }

to

> compileSdkVersion 28
>     buildToolsVersion "28.0.3"
> 
>     defaultConfig {
>         minSdkVersion 16
>         targetSdkVersion 28
>         versionCode 1
>     }

Though fixed in git, the npm repository is still dated 3Y ago.
As a workaround, I set in package.json:

    "react-native-photo-view": "github:alwx/react-native-photo-view#ef532a34829729ce3153628754d434bd646bcc6d",

for the last build.

Currently having the same issue on RN 0.63. Changing package.json manually didn't work, unfortunately. Did anyone figure this out?

I'm still having the same issue. Feb 21, 2023.

My Project has the latest react-native-photo-view like this:

"react-native-photo-view": "github:alwx/react-native-photo-view"

And when I ran ./gradlew assembleRelease at first, I saw Could not find me.relex:photodraweeview:1.1.3 so I fixed it by following #209 (comment)

And then I ran ./gradlew assembleRelease again, but this time saw something else react native build error: package android.support.annotation does not exist so I fixed it using jetifier by following the instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56667264/react-native-build-error-package-android-support-annotation-does-not-exist

And then I ran ./gradlew assembleRelease again, but this time saw something else again react-native-photo-view:verifyReleaseResources. And none of the solutions above worked for me. It says

> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.VerifyLibraryResourcesTask$Action
   > Android resource linking failed
     ERROR:/Users/andre/work/my_project/node_modules/react-native-photo-view/android/build/intermediates/merged_res/release/values/values.xml:2722: AAPT: error: resource android:attr/lStar not found.

This is such a great package, but so sad that it's so hard to use with the latest Expo SDK47. it works like a charm only for iOS...

[sungsong88]

Okay, this is weird. Now it works when I run ./gradlew app:assembleRelease instead of ./gradlew assembleRelease
