Error react-native-loader-kit:verifyReleaseResources

[GonzaArts]

I am trying to copy the APK and I get an error from your project which is as follows:

> Task :react-native-loader-kit:verifyReleaseResources FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-loader-kit:verifyReleaseResources'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.tasks.VerifyLibraryResourcesTask$Action
   > Android resource linking failed

I have tried to change the build.gradle configuration but it still fails

hi @GonzaArts @DarkShtir on which command are you guys facing this issue?

Just now I tested with these commands, they're all fine:

npx react-native build-android --mode=release
npm run android -- --mode="release"

My env (MacOS M2):

"react": "18.2.0",
"react-native": "0.74.0",
"react-native-loader-kit": "^2.0.8"

maybe this can help you: yamill/react-native-orientation#396 (comment)

I'm using fastlane to create builds, and under hood fastlane is using ./gradlew assembleRelease -p command

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

Thanks maitrungduc1410 to link

if sdk version is the problem, you can override it in your android/build.gradle > buildscript > ext

buildscript {
    ext {
        LoaderKit_compileSdkVersion = 34
        LoaderKit_minSdkVersion = 26
        LoaderKit_targetSdkVersion = 34
    }

Maybe be useful add this information to troubleshooting article

[maitrungduc1410]

Great, I'm gonna add a troubleshoot section in readme

[GonzaArts]

Reviewing everything I have already tried it and it worked for me too.

Thanks @maitrungduc1410 @DarkShtir
