Adding this to app/build.gradle fixed the build

compileOptions {
  sourceCompatibility 1.8
  targetCompatibility 1.8
}

@evanjmg i have this problem a time ago, i solved this by using a specific version of the project

[Aung-Myint-Thein]

Which version you are using successfully? @MateusAndrade

[clh97]

currently working here with:
"lottie-react-native": "^2.5.11",
"react": "16.6.1",
"react-native": "0.57.7",

needed a full project rebuild width @maggialejandro build.gradle fix.

[Aung-Myint-Thein]

Thanks for quick reply but when i build the android, I get

Could not find method compileOptions() for arguments [xxxx] on project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project

It is working fine on iOS thou. I am also using:

"lottie-react-native": "^2.5.11",
"react": "^16.6.1",
"react-native": "^0.57.5",

Any suggestion..?

[clh97]

Are you using 'android/app/build.gradle' file? Like that:

android {
    ...
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility 1.8
        targetCompatibility 1.8
    }
    ...
}

[Aung-Myint-Thein]

Nice! Thanks. Now it is building properly.

[derek-diaz]

I was having the same issue and adding the compileOptions and doing a gradle clean fixed the issue for me.

cd android
gradlew clean
cd ..
react-native run-android
