FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':react-native-threads:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

In android while building the app I am facing the above issue.

minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 28
targetSdkVersion = 28

react native version = 0.62.0
react version = 16.9.0

this issue is fixed by changing the following file in the package

In ThreadBaseReactPackage.java file change the following

The first two errors are fixed by changing the timing modal to TimingModule of react.
React has changed the name of file from timing to TimingModule.

From:
import com.facebook.react.modules.core.Timing;
new Timing(catalystApplicationContext, reactInstanceManager.getDevSupportManager()),

To:
import com.facebook.react.modules.core.TimingModule;
new TimingModule(catalystApplicationContext, reactInstanceManager.getDevSupportManager()),

next bug fixed by passing react instance to DevSettingsModule

From:
new DevSettingsModule(reactInstanceManager.getDevSupportManager())

To:
new DevSettingsModule(catalystApplicationContext, reactInstanceManager.getDevSupportManager())

Please fix these things in your module, So that it will not give error for people using RN 0.62.0

When your code is compiled, the compiler needs to work out what each and every identifier in your code means. As the compiler is going through the code it will find something and know what to do with it or not. Your Cannot find symbol error relates to the identifiers and means that Java cannot figure out what the "symbol" means.

The general causes for a Cannot find symbol error are things like:

• Incorrect spelling.
• Wrong case. Halo is different from halo.
• Improper use of acceptable identifier values (letters, numbers, underscore, dollar sign), my-class is not the same as myclass.
• No variable declaration or variable is outside of the scope you are referencing it in.

I think that you didn't read the way of fixing the problems above.
He mentioned the missing of TimingModule and DevSettings.
So, I think that this should be done by the module developer (on the native side).
