Kotlin Gradle Plugin Version Conflicting In React Native 0.69

[ErHarinderSingh]

Please check it. It's 1.4.10 and failing build. When I manually update it to 1.6.10 it works well. I am using New Arch Fabric from React Native.

This is the error. Please take a look.

This is the manual fix I have set on my local side and it works well

Hey! 👋

It looks like you've omitted a few important sections from the issue template.

Please complete Description, Steps To Reproduce, Reproduction and Platform sections.

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snippet of code, a snack or a link to a GitHub repository that reproduces the problem?

I'm facing this issue too after upgrading RN version to 0.69

You can specify Kotlin version to use in android/build.gradle. For example:

buildscript {
    ext {
        kotlinVersion = "1.6.21"
        ...
    }
}

For more details, see README.md, under Need to use a custom Kotlin version? spoiler.

Not trying to do a simple +1, but since OP didn't fill out the issue template and also specified using fabcric, I wanted to add a few things:

This happens in a clean react-native@0.69-rc.6 project, doing nothing but installing react-native-screens, e.g. the steps to reproduce are as simple as:

npx react-native init RN069RC6 --version 0.69.0-rc.6
yarn add react-native-screens
yarn start
yarn android

yarn android fails with:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-screens:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Compilation error. See log for more details

with the log containing a bunch of

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.4.0.

and

Class 'kotlin.Unit' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.4.0.

Manually specifying kotlinVersion as suggested above does mitigate the issue, but I have no use for a custom kotlin version (besides getting react-native-screens to compile). There seems to be a conflict with the basic react-native template :)

+1

With RN 0.69.0 officially released and this being a dependency for @react-navigation/native, this should hopefully bump it up on the priority list.

Hi @ErHarinderSingh!
3.14 has just been released, with #1484 which should resolve the issue. Could you try it out and let us know whether the problem is indeed resolved?

[monholm]

@kkafar we have react-native-screens@3.14.0 running on react-native@0.69.1 without any workarounds 👍

Feel free to reopen in case the problem still occurs.

[ErHarinderSingh]

It is working fine now @kkafar. Thanks ❤️

This work for me

Update android/build.gradle as follows:

       `{ 
         buildscript {
           ext {
                    ...
                    kotlinVersion = "1.5.31"
              }
           dependencies {
                   classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.31"
               }
              }
            }`

Suddenly I started getting this issue for "react-native": "0.68.2" & "react-native-screens": "^3.13.1" updating react-native-screens to 3.14.1 resolved my issue.

Hey guys, did anyone have an instance when specifing everything for a particular kotlin version to be set and did nothing???
For me, I'm trying for already a few days to set the kotlin version a library wants, and for an unknown reason, the error keeps being the same, Jesus...
