It seems to be working now. Changed nothing, but I have another problem. I can't request "permissions"

After pressing the request permission button I get: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'requestPermission')

const handleOnPressPermissionButton = async () => {
    try {
      RNAndroidNotificationListener.requestPermission()

    } catch(e) {
      console.log(e)
    }
  }

import RNAndroidNotificationListener from 'react-native-android-notification-listener' = undefined

Hi @chineseouchie.

Maybe is still something related to the compileSdkVersion problem. What did you do to fix the problem?

[joey-kwl]

I use npx react-native start instead of npx react-native run-android

@chineseouchie

Yes, that's why you are getting undefined in the RNAndroidNotificationListener.
The run-android command builds/compiles the application and its libraries.
The start command just runs the javascript bundler to bundle and sync the javascript code with the emulator/device.

With no success in the run-android command, the application will not be compiled so the problem still is the compileSdkVersion problem pointed out before.

I'm investigating but I think that is something related to the last version of react-native or the Gradle version that it uses.

Problem solved and a new version 4.1.0 released.
Uninstalling the last 4.0.2 version and installing this new 4.1.0 version should solve the problem.
