This issue is related to #1418

To fix it, you need to update your compileSdkVersion to 29. While you are at it, might as well update the buildToolsVersion. You can do that by changing these lines in your /android/build.gradle file.

...
buildscript {
    ext {
        ...
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        ...
    }
...

Thanks @dushyantss
The error is gone after the changes!

[bbm-design]

Tried that fix, only getting raw html when using it with charts native (iOS works fine)
https://github.com/somonus/react-native-echarts (updated to use react native web view instead of the the old one included in react native)

@dushyantss thanks , the changes really works!

[gavrichards]

I'm experiencing this error too.

Changing the SDK version to 29 goes against the setup instructions for React Native which specify you should use Android SDK Platform 28 and build tools 28.0.3.

For that reason I'm reluctant to make these changes. Could this package be fixed to continue supporting 28? I'll downgrade this package in the meantime.

[ilyausorov]

Yes, looks like this is introduced with v10.2.0 and am also downgrading to v10.1.1 in the meantime.

[phillipmiles]

Yup, downgrading v10.1.1 fixes it. I don't want to update the SDK from what react native has by default either.

[xuan9230]

Don't forget to properly remove & unlink old version when downgrading.

This is work for me, thanks !!

Downgraded to v10.1.1, minor versions breaking the build set us back from deployments. Wasn't a pleasant experience.

[zhouwenqi]

thanks

[gavrichards]

I've not been able to test yet, but it looks like this latest release might address this issue?
