cannot find symbol com.facebook.react.ReactApplication #294

dscx · 2017-07-26T20:36:05Z

Hello!

I am having issues compiling the app when url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' is part of my maven object in the root build.gradle.

Cannot find symbol com.facebook.react.ReactApplication and 23 other errors, all referencing this plugin.

I don't know Java, so I am hoping I am just doing something in the wrong order.

Your Environment

Plugin version: 2.8.4
Platform: Android
OS version: 6.0
Device manufacturer / model: Nexus 6 API 23 (simulator)
React Native version (react-native -v): 0.46.4
Plugin config

Expected Behavior

App compiles.

Actual Behavior

App fails to compile with 24 errors (pasted at the bottom), starting with cannot find symbol com.facebook.react.ReactApplication

Steps to Reproduce

Here is my top level build.gradle file:


buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
            url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
        }
    }
}

removing url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' makes the app build/work as expected.

Context

I need this line to make TwitterKit work as part of Fabric.

Link to this TwitterKit plugin please.

dscx · 2017-07-26T20:59:19Z

@christocracy https://dev.twitter.com/twitterkit/android/installation

That particular maven line isn't mentioned anywehre in the official docs, but I found itin this article, firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#392, without which the app cant find twitter at all.

I am hoping I am just doing something dumb!

FWIW I understand this might not even be your plugin causing the issue, but weird coincidence. Also I am not very familiar with the Android ecosystem at this depth.

dscx · 2017-07-27T13:14:18Z

I maybe should also note I am running without a license for now. Once I verify it all works we will be purchasing a license.

christocracy · 2017-07-27T13:25:19Z

This has nothing to do with license. Your app is unable to locate a number of classes in the React package.

dscx · 2017-07-27T16:58:42Z

@christocracy so you think that the even though it references your library as the culprit files, it is not actually your library? Darn.

christocracy · 2017-07-27T17:02:49Z

Try removing my lib and compile. Are you using any other native components? Show me you other components you're using.

christocracy · 2017-08-08T02:44:29Z

Update?

In case anyone else is experiencing the same issue: make sure you correctly add new repositories. According to Android docs every maven repo should be in its own maven {} block.

That's why

maven {
    // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
    url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
    url 'some new extra repo'
}

breaks dependencies.
The correct version is

maven {
    // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
    url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
maven {
    url 'some new extra repo'
}

I have a problem that is almost similar to this. I made an android project from react native and expo. when I try to build the application the error appears like this
