Error when trying to generate APK with the lib: Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':react-native-blob-courier:debugUnitTestRuntimeClasspath'.

[limaCoder]

Description
I developed an APP using the library without any problems, but when I tried to generate an APK occurs this error on the terminal and I haven't found any solutions on the web or here...

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to projectName/android
2. type the command 'gradlew assembleRelease'
3. See the error

Hi @limaCoder, thank you for reaching out and for your detailed bug description!

I'll have to investigate the exact reason for this exception, but you should be able to fix it by adding android.jetifier.blacklist=bcprov-jdk15on to the gradle.properties of your app, like so:
https://github.com/edeckers/react-native-blob-courier/blame/711cc1a5d1550a1161f6a0ed970580c5a6748a4b/example/android/gradle.properties#L22

Let me know if it works for you!

Once I find time for further investigation I'll post my findings here.

Hi @edeckers! So, at first, I received this warning indicating that android.jetifier.blacklist=bcprov-jdk15on is deprecated and also have usages of jcenter().

After that, the build failed with an exception below... that line of code didn't resolve the problem :(

[edeckers]

That's annoying :(

There's hope though, because gradlew assembleRelease does work on the example app included in this repository. So something in its config overcomes this problem. I'm thinking it might be this:

react-native-blob-courier/example/android/app/build.gradle

Line 144 in 6e7924f

lintOptions {

Can you add / modify these lines in your android/app/build.gradle file in the android block - see the line I linked above for context:

lintOptions {
  abortOnError false
  checkReleaseBuilds false
}

@edeckers I added these lines and it stopped giving errors in the build! But it's not recommended to set the value of 'abortOnError' to 'false', which can be a problem with the app in production because it's important to know if the app contains errors...

I really enjoyed the lib, managed to be the only one that served me well to make downloads in a simple way! I want to continue to use it, so could you try to fix this bug and notify me as soon as possible?

[edeckers]

Happy it helped you @limaCoder and thanks for chiming in @ebrahimhassan121! I'll look into this issue as soon as possible and fix it an appropriate manner.

Expectation management: I think I will get to it in the upcoming two weeks, but I can't promise. I'll keep you posted through this thread.

[edeckers]

For posterity, because it was mentioned in this thread several times:
While every library should move away from jcenter because it's deprecated, nothing will break if they won't as "JFrog has decided to keep JCenter as a read-only repository indefinitely".

I've created an issue to replace it in the near future!

[limaCoder]

Thanks, @edeckers, I appreciate it a lot! I'll be waiting for the fix :)

[edeckers]

Fixed the issue by bumping a few dependencies: I'll try to release it this weekend!

For future reference: #187 (comment)

Hi @edeckers! I updated the package version to the latest published (3.0.4), and it's still getting the same error related here, on the build time :(

What version of RN are you using? I've compiled the example app included in this repository on both 0.62.2 and 0.66.1 after the changes I made in #188, which worked fine for me even after I changed abortOnError to true.

Are you running into the bcprov-jdk15on error of your opening post? Or into the the TargetInvocationException?

[limaCoder]

I am using 0.65.1 version of RN! I removed the android.jetifier.blacklist=bcprov-jdk15on code line, the error I'm getting it's this, the same as the first print:

[edeckers]

Hmm, I think you might be using an older version of android-gradle-plugin: it should be 7.0.+ if you're using Jetifier. This will in turn require you to upgrade gradlew to ^7.0.2.

Can you try if these changes work for you? If they do I'll make sure to add them to the README.md.

Relevant lines in the Example app:

1. AGP -> 7.0.+
2. Gradlew -> 7.0.2

[limaCoder]

@edeckers it worked!!! I changed the relevant lines that you have mentioned in the example app and the error had stopped! Thanks a lot, @edeckers , I'm happy now! Include in README.md the version of android-gradle-plugin it should be 7.0.+ will help other people too :)

[edeckers]

Awesome @limaCoder! I'll make sure to add it, thank you for reporting back and enjoy your working app :)
