After upgrading react native to latest version android build stat to fail,

package.json

    "@amplitude/analytics-react-native": "^1.3.0",
    "react-native": "^0.72.0",

Hi @abgaryanharutyun, you are using @amplitude/analytics-react-native in the repo. This repo is for @amplitude/react-native.

I cannot reproduce your error. Could you run --stacktrace, --info, --scan and --verbose options to get more info? Thanks.

@Mercy811 , I will provide additional logs to reproduce the issue easily. However, it is easy to reproduce because it doesn't work with the new React Native version 0.72. Have you tested it with that version? Does it work properly on Android?

Hi @abgaryanharutyun, I got a similar but slightly different one by:

• npx react-native init AwesomeProject_72 --version 0.72.0
• yarn android

with environments:

• "@amplitude/analytics-react-native": "^1.3.1",
• "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage": "^1.19.0",
• "react": "18.2.0",
• "react-native": "0.72.0"
• gradle plugin version 7.4.0 (you can find these two in Android Studio, File > Project Structure > Project)
• gradle version 7.5

Before proceeding, would like to confirm with you we are having the same error and the same environment.

Hey @Mercy811 ,

I wanted to let you know that I'm experiencing the same issue. It seems to be related to the latest React Native version 0.72. From what I've observed, the problem lies in incompatibility with the new RN version. Surprisingly, iOS is functioning properly, but Android is not.

I would appreciate it if we could address this problem as soon as possible. Can we work together to find a solution or fix?

Looking forward to your response.

Hi @abgaryanharutyun, thanks for your confirmation. It's on the top of my list and will keep you updated. Also really appreciate it if you could let me know if you have any findings.

Hey @Mercy811 I think this issue not related with amplitude package, I have fixed this issue on my end without amplitude change, so what I did just changed

        compileSdkVersion = 34
        targetSdkVersion = 34

to

compileSdkVersion = 33
targetSdkVersion = 33

[Mercy811]

Hi @abgaryanharutyun I fixed it in another way, in case you are interested.

Solution

I didn't fixed it by changing compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion. But fixed the problem by the adding kotlinVersion to the latest in build.gradle

ext {
        ...
        kotlinVersion = "1.9.0"
        ...
}

Trace down

What I described here amplitude_analytics-react-native:compileDebugAndroidTestKotlin is not the same error as amplitude_analytics-react-native:compileDebugKotlin in the original post.

Step to reproduce

• Update to the latest Android Studio (from Android Studio Electric Eel to Android Studio Flamingo
• Change gradle plugin version to 7.4.0 and gradle version to 7.5
• Run yarn android and get amplitude_analytics-react-native:compileDebugKotlin
  There is an important line in the error message

AwesomeProject_72/node_modules/@amplitude/analytics-react-native/android/src/main/java/com/amplitude/reactnative/AmplitudeReactNativeModule.kt: (26, 13): Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.7.1, expected version is 1.5.1.

It indicates that this error is caused by the incompatibility of Kotlin. The default Kotlin version compiled to is 1.5.1 however the needed version (probably required by React Native 0.72.0 is at least 1.7.1). So specify the latest Kotlin version in your React Native project should fix the problem.
