Android is not building

[brunogonncalves]

Your Environment

• Plugin version: ^0.6.3
• Platform: Android

• Running in Simulator: YES
• React Native version: 0.62.2

Context

The project is not building for android

Expected Behavior

Should build correctly and generate a .apk and .aab files.

Actual Behavior

Receiving a log error when try to build app:

The option 'android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources' is deprecated.
The current default is 'false'.
It has been removed from the current version of the Android Gradle plugin.
The raw resource for unit test functionality is removed.
Affected Modules: @mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common

Possible Fix

I did many tests and I saw is just needed to remove android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources from gradle.properties

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open AndroidStudio
2. Try to build app

This is also occurring for me. @brunogonncalves can yoou elaborate your fix? I'm seeing that error but have not found android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources

EDIT: Can confirm changing node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common/gradle.properties fixes the build issue. It's unclear to me if this will break functionality?

For me worked without break any thing, just remove android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources line from file node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common/gradle.properties

I put in my project an .sh file to automatically remove this from the code to help my co-workers.

I fixed it without changing the package's files... I changed the build gradle version from 4.0.1 to 3.4.3 in android/build.gradle and it worked.

Just add this to settings.gradle file include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common' project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common') include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation' project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/lib')

Just add this to settings.gradle file include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common' project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common') include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation' project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/lib')

Solves this problem

Here is it in a better format:

include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common'

project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation-common').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/common')

include ':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation'

project(':@mauron85_react-native-background-geolocation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@mauron85/react-native-background-geolocation/android/lib')
