Very old gradle plugin dependency 2.3.1 which is missing from maven

[jeanhipages]

As of today (23 Jun 2023 9am Sydney time), we aren't able to build android in CI due to missing dependency for uxcam

Could this dependency be updated?

Hello @jeanhipages @garkuwa @KolissnikBogdan is this happening on which specific SDK version? I've just tried to replicate it on 5.4.7 unsuccessfully, could you please let me know your SDK versions? Thanks!

[KolissnikBogdan]

Maybe jcenter is currently unavailable...

[gabrieluxcam]

Thank you @KolissnikBogdan I'm checking this with our team and get back to you as soon as possible. Have you tested by cleaning the project? If this was working previously it may have to do with a connection issue or jcenter, as I have been able to build the app on my test project with multiple sdk versions. I will post more information as soon as I have it.

[KolissnikBogdan]

Quick solution:
replace com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1 -> com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0

I just ran the command: ./gradlew clean
can't say for sure if this issue is directly related to jscenter, but when I run the build I get similar errors from other SDKs

[gabrieluxcam]

Thanks for these details @KolissnikBogdan if I get any confirmation or additional details from the team I will make sure to post them.

any update on this? Or at least a workaround. Currently we can't build app on CI

[gabrieluxcam]

Hey @ziga-hvalec have you tested @KolissnikBogdan 's current workaround? :

Quick solution: replace com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1 -> com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0

In the meantime, our team will work on removing any need for jcenter dependency, but as of now this should enable you to continue working on this.

[ziga-hvalec]

I don't have this. How would I go around doing this in you package and then build on CI?

[raxit97]

Faced the same issue.
As @KolissnikBogdan suggested, updated the gradle plugin version in the node_modules/react-native-ux-cam/android folder to 2.3.0 and added a patch to the repo using the following command:
npx patch-package react-native-ux-cam
Now its working.

[TrekSoft]

Yeah this is the error we're getting when we try to build on AppCenter - updating the version locally doesn't work because of course AppCenter is not pulling the locally changed code:

A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-ux-cam'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':react-native-ux-cam:classpath'.
   > Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.3.1/gradle-2.3.1.pom
     If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format, you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.
     Required by:
         project :react-native-ux-cam

EDIT: After removing UXCam as a dependency, a bunch of other libraries also showed up as failing so this seems to just be a pretty general outage.

It is not working...

npx patch-package react-native-ux-cam patch-package 6.5.0 • Creating temporary folder • Installing react-native-ux-cam@5.4.7 with yarn • Diffing your files with clean files ⁉️ Not creating patch file for package 'react-native-ux-cam' ⁉️ There don't appear to be any changes.

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-ux-cam'.

Could not determine the dependencies of null.
Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':react-native-ux-cam:classpath'.
> Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1.

[jeanhipages]

Faced the same issue. As @KolissnikBogdan suggested, updated the gradle plugin version in the node_modules/react-native-ux-cam/android folder to 2.3.0 and added a patch to the repo using the following command: npx patch-package react-native-ux-cam Now its working.

We have done the same and the android build is working in CI again. @gabrieluxcam please ping this thread once the issue is resolved in uxcam so we can remove the patch 🙏

[rafaelgarcia13]

A solution that worked for me, was add mavenCentral on buildscript repositories

[gabrieluxcam]

Hello @jeanhipages @djob195 @TrekSoft @raxit97 @ziga-hvalec @KolissnikBogdan We have now released React Native UXCam SDK version 5.4.8 which has updated the build gradle to avoid similar issues in the future.

dependency removed: jcenter
dependency added: google(), mavenCentral()
Updated build gradle to com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2 from com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1

Please do let us know if this continues to exist. I will mark this as closed for the time being.

Facing the same issue for react-native:"0.72.3" with `"react-native-ux-cam": "5.4.8",
