Unable to build on android. IOS is working fine.

[application-inoviotech]

**React Native Version : 0.68.2 Stripe Version : 0.25

Gradle version used : classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2')**

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

/Users/mac/.gradle/caches/transforms-3/b252794f6e7766bcaaa62afaf00adf95/transformed/material-1.8.0/res/values/values.xml: Error: Can't determine type for tag '?attr/shapeAppearanceCornerSmall'

To Reproduce

1. npx react-native init --version 0.68.2
2. npm install @stripe/stripe-react-native
3. npm run android

Expected behavior The project should work properly but it gives the above error

Screenshots

Additional context

When I use Gradle version "classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2')". It gives me the above error on debug mode but when I upgrade my gradle version to "classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2')", it starts working on debug mode but on release mode it gives me an error "Failed to get React Application Context".

The main issue, I think is releated to assets merging because of the file react.gradle in react-native library. Please assist if someone has faced this issue or knows a workaround for it.

Currently I am using Stripe Version 0.19 and it is working fine but there are alot of fixes done after this version so I wanted to upgrade my library.

I'm facing this same issue, it has to do with com.google.android.material:material:1.8.0 not working correctly with gradle tools below 7.2.2, which itself requires react native 0.69+

If you aren't using payment sheets then an easy fix is to force the version to be 1.6.0 like so in your app's dependancy block:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.0'
    }
}

7.2.2, which itself requires react native 0.69+

@DhirenAtodaria does RN have that requirement? afaik, if your actual gradle version is 7.3.3 (check your gradle-wrapper.properties), you should be able to upgrade to classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2") in your build.gradle file

@charliecruzan-stripe yes we're able to upgrade to classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2") but that doesn't find react application context on release build. I don't know why is that but the issue is with merging assets. It says make sure your app is bundled correctly.

I have also mentioned what happens when I upgrade to classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2")

Yeah sorry, requirement is the wrong word, I'd say 'bugged' is more suitable 😅, but yeah like the poster above, we can upgradle to gradle tools 7.2.2, the problem occurs when you build a release version of the app, apparently there's some issues with the actual bundling of the js and it ends up causing the 'FATAL EXCEPTION: create_react_context' you can read more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72564710/react-native-crash-release-build-fatal-exception-create-react-context

There were some suggested fixes but I deemed it wasn't worth the effort figuring it out and debugging after every release build for a simple library upgrade so ended up just forcing the material version since I don't use payment sheets regardless.

I wouldn't be able to say how many rn versions are affected, but essentially there will be an implicit requirement now for these gradle tools in order to use the latest version.

@DhirenAtodaria the issue is with some configuration in react.gradle file present in the react-native library itself. I tried upgrading the react native then everything works fine but I cannot upgrade react native version of my app.

Got the same issue in "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1" , "com.google.android.material:material:1.6.0"

where to add this ? which file ?

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but this goes in your build.gradle in your dependencies block

I resolve this issue by using following configuration ,

android/build.gradle

dependencies {
...
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.2")
classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.10")
...
}

android/app/build.gradle

dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.6.0'
...
}

NOTE: distribution url in gradle-wrapper.properties must not be lower than distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-all.zip
