Error building android to run tests

[thanksyouall]

I am creating an android build to run detox tests. The command is ./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest or /gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug.

And I get an error:

Execution failed for task ':react-native-keyboard-controller:processDebugAndroidTestManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 21 declared in library [com.facebook.react:react-android:0.71.8] /Users/ivan/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/2d0ccc383ad42b083a7f9f1673ca7c31/transformed/jetified-react-android-0.71.8-debug/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16
        Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 16,
                or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 21,
                or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.facebook.react" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

This error didn't happen until I installed the react-native-keyboard-controller library. What could be the problem?

android/build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "33.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33

        // Мы используем NDK 23, который имеет поддержку M1 и является версией NDK от AGP.
        ndkVersion = "23.1.7779620"

        kotlinVersion = "1.6.21"
    }
    ...
}

android/app/build.gradle:

...
defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
        targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        ...
}
...

@kirillzyusko or would it be better to create an issue?

[thanksyouall]

@kirillzyusko thank you! Yes, it works. You can merge that PR :)

[thanksyouall]

@kirillzyusko Could you please up the version?

[kirillzyusko]

@thanksyouall yes, I'll do it. I just want to do more research on react-native-navigation bug and maybe fix it and then release. If not - then will release without react-native-navigaton fix. I think I'll publish new releases in next few days :)

As of now - please, use version from main branch (or use patch-package - anything you prefer) 🙂

[thanksyouall]

@kirillzyusko thanks :-)

@thanksyouall I've published 1.5.3 🙂
