Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.

[sumanbhattarai]

Description:

I created a new react native application and installed react-native-one-signal. I am getting a build error on android as soon as I installed react-native-one-signal.
I am getting following error while building an app on android:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
   > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
     dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
     is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).
     Dependency: androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.0.
     AAR metadata file: /Users/sumanbhattarai/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/ac32b6abd74d5ceefc471e061744b632/transformed/work-runtime-2.7.0/META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties.

Environment

"react": "17.0.2",
"react-native": "0.66.2",
"react-native-onesignal": "^4.3.2"

Steps to Reproduce Issue:

1. Create a new project using npx react-native init DempApp --template react-native-template-typescript .
2. Install one signal using yarn add react-native-onesignal
3. Run on android phone. npx react-native run-android

@sumanbhattarai on android/build.gradle

change:

compileSdkVersion = 31

buildscript {
    ext {
        compileSdkVersion = 31
       ....

[sweatherall]

I can confirm @ROG3R-DEV solution works - I was running into the exact same problem, and updating compileSdkVersion to 31, as the error message suggests, allows for a successful build.

[Ricool06]

I'm also getting this issue, 4.3.1 builds fine (but ID verification is not working). 4.3.2 is where this issue is introduced.
I can't change build.gradle as @ROG3R-DEV has suggested as I am using expo with a managed workflow.

Does anyone have an alternative workaround so I can use ID verification?

If you don't want to upgrade to sdk 31, add in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

For some background, we made this change for apps that set their compileSdkVersion to 31.

@Ricool06, thanks for bringing up a good point about the managed workflow as it appears the latest Expo SDK targets Android 30.

If you don't want to upgrade to sdk 31, add in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

I can't upgrade to sdk 31 without ejecting, which I also cannot do in my situation.

@nan-li glad to be helping. 😊 Is there a resolution or workaround to this we can think of?

[Saad-Bashar]

Having the same problem with onesignal 4.3.3 :( I am using expo unimodules and when I upgraded to 31 the expo packages can not run.

Update: By using this, I could run the app. However not sure if its a good idea.

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

[Svarto]

same issue, glad it is identified why it happens. I downgraded for now, but hope it will be addressed when expo SDK 44 comes out...

[jkasten2]

This issue has been addressed in OneSignal-Gradle-Plugin 0.14.0. This version should automatically be picked up if you do a clean build.

[Saad-Bashar]

@jkasten2 , I am doing ./gradlw clean and trying back again. Still getting the same error somehow? Am I doing it right?

[Ricool06]

So for anyone still struggling with this who can't eject or update to the version @jkasten2 mentioned, here is a workaround.
Add this to your app.config.js:

const newResolutionStrategyGradle = `
configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0'
    }
}`;

const withWorkingWorkRuntimeVersion = (config, _props) => {
  return withAppBuildGradle(config, newConfig => {
    newConfig.modResults.contents = `${newResolutionStrategyGradle.trimStart()}\n\n${
      newConfig.modResults.contents
    }`;

    return newConfig;
  });
};

then return your config where you usually would with

return withWorkingWorkRuntimeVersion(config);

EDIT: this assumes you are using expo!

[jkasten2]

The available version list of the onesignal-gradle-plugin (OneSignal-Gradle-Plugin) hasn't been updated with 0.14.0 yet:

• https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/gradle/plugin/com/onesignal/onesignal-gradle-plugin/maven-metadata.xml

I am not sure exactly when Gradle's plugin portal will refresh the latest version list but I would expect in the next 24 hours.

    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {

        }
    }
}

this works for me!!

Thank you so much @Summys! This is just what I needed to fix my problem.

@Summys Thank you You solved my problem

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

[Dcrosssensei]

worked for me +

buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 30
targetSdkVersion = 30

If you don't want to upgrade to sdk 31, add in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

[itshash01]

I just had the same issue, so its better to go to build.gradle and check targetSDK and compileSDK then we will notice a kind of warning asking us to update...we are 13th DECEMBER 2022 I update mine to 33 which were from the beginning 32.

[itshash01]

worked for me +

buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 30 targetSdkVersion = 30

If you don't want to upgrade to sdk 31, add in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy { force 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.6.0' }
        }
    }
}

yeah targetSDK and compileSDK must be upgraded(id did it to 33)

[OFD16]

on this route: android -> build.gradle
add this part androidXBrowser = "1.5.0"

buildscript {
    ext {
        // ...
        androidXBrowser = "1.5.0"

this solved my problem
