Hi, I got error on invalid Kotlin version when running react-native run-android

React Native version: 0.69.3

e: /Users/wilson/work/carlink/CarlinkApp/node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/src/main/java/com/reactnativephotoeditor/activity/PhotoEditorActivity.kt: (105, 5): Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.1.15.

I have same issue. It must be origin photo library build with old Kotlin version. I try to some other react version though I cannot success build it.

Hi,
Please go to the library folder on android studio and change the kotlin version to 1.6.0
gradle.properties file
PhotoEditor_kotlinVersion=1.6.0
Good luck.

Wow!! It work for me. Thanks a lot @waaplog

I should change some code like below.

Edit node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/gradle.properties

• PhotoEditor_kotlinVersion=1.6.0

Edit node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/src/main/java/com/reactnativephotoeditor/PhotoEditorModule.kt

private val mActivityEventListener: ActivityEventListener = object : BaseActivityEventListener() {
    override fun onActivityResult(activity: Activity, requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, intent: Intent?) {
      if (requestCode == EDIT_SUCCESSFUL && intent != null) {
        when (resultCode) {
          ResponseCode.RESULT_OK -> {
            val path = intent.getStringExtra("path")
            promise?.resolve("file://$path")
          }
          ResponseCode.RESULT_CANCELED -> {
            promise?.reject("USER_CANCELLED", "User has cancelled", null)
          }
          ResponseCode.LOAD_IMAGE_FAILED -> {
            val path = intent.getStringExtra("path")
            promise?.reject("LOAD_IMAGE_FAILED", "Load image failed: $path", null)
          }

        }
      }
    }
  }

Edit node_modules/@baronha/react-native-photo-editor/android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

  <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    tools:replace="android:allowBackup"
    android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
    >
