I can't install android app

[Choi-Juno]

Description

There is a bug that does not install the app when I build android after the project is first created.

yarn run v1.22.17 $ react-native run-android info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag. Jetifier found 863 file(s) to forward-jetify. Using 10 workers... info JS server already running. info Installing the app...

Steps to reproduce

In my case, it does not work immediately after project creation.

Try using the lowest version of Java and then work your way up to the highest compatible version. If I remember right this is a JAVA16+ problem.

Either by point JAVA_HOME to a compatible 8.0 or 11 version or setup the config to build.gradle (android/app) and maybe also the root project build.gradle ,note that there are two such build.gradle files one in the android root folder and the other in the project app if you cant actually rollback your java (not recommended) this is probably the safer option.

 allprojects {
    sourceCompatibility = 1.8
    targetCompatibility = 1.8
}.

depending on your gradle version you may have to write it in as compile options instead

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
}

Changing the gradle version worked for me. To change it go to AwesomeProject/android/build.gradle

1. You should find a line in dependencies that goes as follows: classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2")

2. Change it to: classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1")

3. Next, clean out your AwesomeProject/android/.gradle by running this in the terminal (assuming you are in the AwesomeProject directory): cd android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..

4. Next, if you already have metro running shut it down and run it again: npx react-native start

Now running npx react-native run-android should work. If not make sure the emulator has:

• internet access
• USB debugging is switched on

For reference, my java version is 11.0.13.

Note to the react team:

• Please ensure that you mention this java vs gradle version mismatch issue in the getting started pages. It should mention the maximum java version for the 4.2.2 gradle version or you should update the gradle version used in the lastest react native version. This issue wasted a week of my life lol.

• It should mention the maximum java version for the 4.2.2 gradle version or you should update the gradle version used in the lastest react native version.

There is a note about it in the Getting Started page: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup#installing-dependencies

If you have already installed JDK on your system, make sure it is JDK 11 or newer.

But it doesn't mention what gradle version should be used for that particular JDK version and this is a problem as I had to manually change the default gradle version from 4.2.2 to 7.1.1 for it to work with JDK 11. You guys should either update react native to use version 7.1.1 by default or mention in your getting started pages that a lower JDK version should be used as gradle 4.2.2 doesn't support JDK 11.

[cortinico]

a lower JDK version should be used as gradle 4.2.2 doesn't support JDK 11.

That's not correct.

Android Gradle Plugin (not gradle) version 4.2.2 supports JDK >= 8 Android Gradle Plugin (not gradle) version 7.0.x supports JDK >= 11

You guys should either update react native to use version 7.1.1 by default or mention in your getting started pages that a lower

The default template is already updated to use AGP 7.0.x
