I tried to run the example and everything went OK.
When I tried to install this module onto my App, that error appears.

I don't have multiDexEnabled and I'm running on an Android device with RN 0.17.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

notlose · 2016-01-22T08:54:44Z

i got the same error

Try running ./gradlew app:dependencies in android directory in terminal

notlose · 2016-01-22T09:46:54Z

i found the way to solve this problem.
just remove both 'build' folder in /android and /android/app
and build again with 'react-native run-android'

oney · 2016-01-22T10:08:43Z

Good!

Neither solution worked for me. I even removed the folder node_modules and did npm install again.

Can you share your project android/build.gradle and android/app/build.gradle

I got it running by changing to:

and

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta3'

oney · 2016-01-25T08:02:34Z

Good! This solution will help many people that encounter this issue.

vikassy · 2016-01-29T03:31:58Z

Yup ! I had faced the same issue, @nbastoWM solution worked pretty well. Can I update the Readme, if there is no compatible problem with play-services-gcm:8.3.0 and google-services:1.5.0-beta3 ?

oney · 2016-01-29T06:54:46Z

@vikassy Please do it, thanks.

lynndylanhurley · 2016-02-01T01:09:09Z

@nbastoWM - I made those changes, but I'm still only able to build the app with multiDexEnabled = true. I tried deleting both of my build folders and updating those two packages, but nothing seems to work except multiDexEnabled = true. Is there anything else that you may have done to get past this issue that you're leaving out?

pewh · 2016-02-01T02:25:33Z

@lynndylanhurley I'm not sure but you may try to delete android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle. Let me know if it doesn't work.

dcflow · 2016-02-26T23:58:51Z

I'm having the same issue. @lynndylanhurley Did you find any solutions?
@oney I tried to run the project without compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0" and classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta3' but I still get the same error.
Do you think this has to do with the GCM libraries or with your code?

lynndylanhurley · 2016-02-27T06:43:43Z

I just had to set multiDexEnabled = true. I don't really understand the implications, but people seem to discourage it. But it hasn't caused me any problems.

Noitidart · 2017-03-14T08:02:00Z

i found the way to solve this problem.

@notlose thanks you! I struggled with this issue for two hours! This fixed it!

1c7 · 2018-01-12T13:31:57Z

@notlose Solution work for me! ( I am using React Native 0.51 )
after remove both /android/build and /android/app/build
and re-run

cd android && ./gradlew assembleRelease

Success!

RassaLibre · 2018-01-30T10:53:07Z

Had the same issue and the solution that worked for me was to add this to my build.gradle:

dexOptions { jumboMode true }

I also added dex.force.jumbo=true to my gradle.properties just to be sure. Seems like that did the magic.

please help my

sarmad1995 · 2018-05-03T13:47:27Z

Try adding this in your android/app/build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        if (details.getRequested().getGroup() == 'com.google.android.gms') {
            details.useVersion('9.8.0')
        }
    }
}

julio-arcila · 2018-05-17T20:50:59Z

In my case gradle was not in the environment variables. Check in terminal for the command gradle. If not recognized first you have to find the folder of gradle in configuration> settings> build of the android studio. The bin is added to the environment variables. Check again the gradle word in terminal later it runs ./gradlew in unix like systems from the terminal or .\ gradlew in the powershell of windows

tb56zily · 2018-06-15T01:34:14Z

If java 8 or above is used then the problem is the libraries we use are incompatible with java 8. So to solve this add these two lines to build.gradle of your app and all sub modules if any. (Android studio clearly show how to do this in error message)

targetCompatibility = '1.7'
sourceCompatibility = '1.7'

MaheshNandam · 2018-07-02T11:12:10Z

Below lines works for me,

compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

saeedjamshidi · 2018-08-08T07:42:48Z

there's no need to remove "build" folders manually, just run "gradlew clean" command in android folder.

sturmenta · 2018-09-28T20:42:28Z

@MaheshNandam In what file did you add those lines?

MaheshNandam · 2018-09-29T06:06:12Z

@sturmenta , it's in android/app/build.gradle

projetoarduino · 2018-11-30T10:48:54Z

Work to me
react-native init projectwebrtc
cd projectwebrtc
npm i -s react-native-webrtc
react-native link react-native-webrtc

and in android/app/build.gradle add inside android section:

compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
targetCompatibility = '1.8'
}

normanbanzon · 2018-12-20T09:38:27Z

remove android folder run

react-native upgrade
then

react-native run-android

haizo-code · 2019-05-06T08:45:40Z

This worked for me after 4 hours of trying, by adding this to the module dependencies :

dependencies {
    configurations {
        all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v13'
    }
....
}

I hope this helps 👍

rvilardo · 2019-06-27T17:35:29Z

If you are running on Terminal, check if the java version you are using is 1.8.
$ java -version
depending on gradle version you might have issues with java 1.8+
So, install the 1.8 version and change the JAVA_PATH to:
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)"
Make sure it's on your PATH as well

Vladus7 · 2019-07-07T08:53:12Z

Please tell me where I need to enter the command 'react-native run-android' ?

GeronimoKTT · 2019-07-10T13:44:04Z

i found the way to solve this problem.

Very good!

froliveira94 · 2019-08-19T18:08:38Z

If your minSdkVersion is lower then 21 you need to add multiDexEnabled = true on app/build.gradle

reference: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex

gvsakhil · 2020-01-09T05:56:08Z

Deleting build folders didnot solve my issue

I need to delete some hidden folders too. Change settings to view hidden folders ( cmd +shift + . in mac)

Delete build, .gradlew, .idea, files with .iml in android folder
Delete build folder in android/app

Now go back and run react-native run-android

Good luck :)

ravi-pandit14 · 2020-01-13T07:46:13Z

In app/build.gradle
add

defaultConfig{
...
multiDexEnabled true            //add this 
}

pushpanathank · 2020-02-28T09:46:15Z

Refer this

android {
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 26
multiDexEnabled true <---- Add this
}
...
}

Darkensses · 2020-05-09T19:36:57Z

I'm using react-native-maps and my issue was Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDexDebug'.
I solved by editing the app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        // ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    // ...
}

pke · 2020-05-18T19:58:13Z

Thanks @Darkensses this worked. I wonder why the tooling does not enable this by default. But I guess it would prevent the app from running on very old Android devices?
With this setting it runs on my baseline Android 5 device without problems.

hasnainalimj · 2020-05-31T16:01:34Z

I got the same error after using react-native-firebase SDK but after adding multiDexEnabled true inside android/app/build.gradle it's work for me Thanks @lynndylanhurley

pranshuchittora · 2020-10-03T20:44:25Z

Just delete android/.gradle and 'android/app/build'.

Reasons for the issue.

Renaming the app folder.
Moving the project directory.
File System rewired
