Production build is failing with RN 0.72 (Gradle 8)

[renchap]

OS:

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux

Platform:

• iOS
• Android

SDK:

• @sentry/react-native (>= 1.0.0)
• react-native-sentry (<= 0.43.2)

SDK version: 5.6.0

react-native version: 0.72.0

Are you using Expo?

• Yes
• No

Are you using sentry.io or on-premise?
Configuration:
Not relevant, this happens during build

---

I have following issue:

Starting with Gradle 8.0, task dependencies must be explicit.

Building a RN 0.72 app uses Gradle 8, which fails with:

…
> Task :app:bundleRelease
> Task :app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease' (type 'SentryUploadNativeSymbolsTask').
  - Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/Users/renchap/dev/notos/packages/mobile/android/app/build'.

    Reason: Task ':app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease' uses this output of task ':app:produceReleaseBundleIdeListingFile' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

    Possible solutions:
      1. Declare task ':app:produceReleaseBundleIdeListingFile' as an input of ':app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease'.
      2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:produceReleaseBundleIdeListingFile' from ':app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease' using Task#dependsOn.
      3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':app:produceReleaseBundleIdeListingFile' from ':app:uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForRelease' using Task#mustRunAfter.

    Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.1/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.

Steps to reproduce:

• Run a production build (bundleRelease) with the Sentry SDK installed
• See that Gradle fails the build due to missing tasks dependencies

Actual result:

The build fails with the error message above

Expected result:

The build succeed

Woops, this was caused by the Sentry Android Gradle plugin, we used an old version that was not compatible with Gradle 8.

Updating it to the latest version worked fine.

@renchap still facing the same issue running 5.6.0 with the same configuration as above

[krystofwoldrich]

What version of https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-android-gradle-plugin are you using? Please, try to update to the latest version.

[humarkx]

@krystofwoldrich https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/manual-setup/manual-setup/

I did the React Native Automatic installation, but doesn't mention anywhere even on the manual docs, where to use that package.
Maybe this should be somewhere in the RN install documentation:
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/blob/e44fe2d34ac8fb358e6660aa5df0109ee9982b56/sample-new-architecture/android/build.gradle

After updating to classpath("io.sentry:sentry-android-gradle-plugin:3.11.1") in android/build.gradle still causes the error

Thanks

same here

[renchap]

Do you have io.sentry:sentry-android-gradle-plugin mentioned somewhere in your gradle files? If yes, what is the full line?

[humarkx]

classpath("io.sentry:sentry-android-gradle-plugin:3.11.1")

I have this in my android/build.gradle

@humarkx @devDanielCespedes Thank you for the information, sadly we can't reproduce the issue.

Could you provide a minimal reproducible example with detailed steps on how you build the app?
