React Native bumped the version of the Android Gradle Plugin
to v3 which uses the newer Gradle dependency
configurations `implementation` and `api` which make `compile`
obsolete.
A team member of mine spend a couple of hours debugging this error:
Couldn't find com.facebook.react.uimanager.annotations.ReactProp.source.
There was no clear indicator of what the underlaying problem was. As it turns out the error was caused by missing assets. To make sure other developers don't waste the same amount of time as we did, we improved the error message.
* Revert changes to make yarn link work.
* Fixed local images in production builds.
This closes#273, closes#296, closes#246.
* Remove unused code and fix some warnings.
FIRST OF ALL, I am using this package from npm so I saw that the git repo one commit ahead that is this one f31a44fc07 (diff-7ae5a9093507568eabbf35c3b0665732) where you upgrade to glide 4 with progress listeners. I couldn't submit PR for the version I am using from NPM. so as of now explain of this PR is as follow:
As React native 0.56.0 is released with MAJOR android changes such as:
-Gradle 3.5.1
-Compile using Android SDK 26
-Google Maven repo
-etc
more about Change log, specially of Android Here, https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#android-projects-are-now-compiled-using-the-android-26-sdk
and https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#android-specific-changes
Aslo as Per Google new "Google Play's target API level requirement", mentioned here https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk
"Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) from August 1, 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from November 1, 2018."
It's clear that Android would be moving to new Gradle and new SDK changes, Thus creating a new type of error that is:
"Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' or 'Api'"
more about the Old and new configuration please see this https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration?utm_source=android-studio#new_configurations
at the heading of "Use the new dependency configurations"
Therefore, all old "compile" should be now "implementation" or "provided" should be "compileOnly"
I have tested the with "compile" and "implementation" in my current release ready product and also by "renaming" "compile" to "implementation".
Also tested with higher andorid SDK configs such as of below:
```
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 19
compileSdkVersion = 27
targetSdkVersion = 27
supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
}
```
so SDK 27 was also compiled successully. test on Android phone with ADK 23 all looks good. Thus, `react-native-fast-image` was working just fine as intended. thank you so much for this package btw.
Therefore, Please would it be possible to merge as i am sure many new projects and old one are going to update specially Gradle and SDK as of Google new requirements.
related mention of Upgrading issue mention here https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/20273#issuecomment-405959030
Moreover, if someone still have any issue after upgrading everything successfully, then he should use following in build.gradle under `andorid/build.gradle`
```
subprojects {
afterEvaluate {project ->
if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
}
}
}
}
```
PS: as of exclude part in your build.grade, I am not 100% it will work for example mine app has something like this
compile project((':react-native-maps')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
}
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
after converting this to
implementation project(':react-native-maps')
android.testVariants.all { variant ->
variant.getCompileConfiguration().exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
variant.getRuntimeConfiguration().exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
variant.getCompileConfiguration().exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
variant.getCompileConfiguration().exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
}
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
everything is working fine for me. so please have a look for your just in case.
