Android build is failing after upgrading the react native version to 0.75.2

[aashish-tanwar]

Description

I'm working on the hybrid app which is built using the React Native Package.

It was working fine on the v0.70.14 version but when I upgraded it to version 0.75.2, the Android project stopped building but the iOS project is building fine.

I'm using Hermes as a JS engine

"react": "18.3.1"
"react-native": "0.75.2",

I have upgraded the gradle version as well

dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.5.0' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.1' classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version")

This is my gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.6-bin.zip zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

Steps to reproduce

1. node node_modules/react-native/cli.js start
2. The app doesn't get built from Android Studio when I click on Run App button, the screenshot of the issue is attahced.

@aashish-tanwar I believe AGP 8.5.0 requires Gradle 8.0 or later , try changing that combination . Check Compatiblity list
Alternative way is to create a sample app with combination of different AGP and Gradle versions, that will scope down your issue .
or Provide a Reproducer Template , I will try it :)

I'm having the same issue, switched the react native version to 0.75.2 and added the following:

on android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 33
        compileSdkVersion = 34
        targetSdkVersion = 34
        ndkVersion = "26.1.10909125"
        kotlinVersion = "1.9.24"
    }
...
allprojects {
    repositories {
        exclusiveContent {
           filter {
               includeGroup "com.facebook.react"
           }
           forRepository {
               maven {
                   url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
               }
           }
       }
    }
}

on android/app/build.gradle

react {
    autolinkLibrariesWithApp()
}

on android/settings.gradle

pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }

running npx react-native run-android gives the error above(and bellow)

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

2. The app doesn't get built from Android Studio when I click on Run App button, the screenshot of the issue is attahced.

@aashish-tanwar are you able to build locally with the CLI before trying Android Studio?
