Environment

• react-native-code-push version: ^6.2.1
• react-native version: 0.62.2
• iOS/Android/Windows version: unknown
• Does this reproduce on a debug build or release build? only checked on debug
• Does this reproduce on a simulator, or only on a physical device? build error

External SDKs

I do have an external SDK in build.gradle. I don't know if that is the reason for this error.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' } // Gradle Plugin Portal
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:[0.12.6, 0.99.99]'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"

....
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

What I tried.

I moved two declarations to the bottom of app/build.gradle. but the error remains same

// puts all compile dependencies into folder libs for BUCK to use
task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
    into 'libs'
}

apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"

Some article state to remove the line apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle". But New error is

yarn run v1.22.4

I removed both line (which actually don't make any sense) the error is

Answer 1

There were actually two mistakes:

1. There is actually a line present in android/app/build.gradle which is apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle". You don't need to add this line instead you need to add apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle" below it. Adding this at end can solve problem for some user but not for all. Add it at appropriate place.

2. If there is an gradle error it is due to multidex. Enable multidex for all support. Add multiDexEnable true in android > defaultConfig. See this for refrence https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex#mdex-gradle

Answer 2

I faced the same issue too.

"react-native-code-push": "^6.2.1",
"react-native": "0.61.4",

Finally, I deleted that line you said and it built successfully. I placed to the bottom of build.gradle

apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)
//apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"
