Could not find androidsdk.modules

Question

So in the middle of running my program, my build.gradle failed with this error. I mean it actually worked a second before, and not a second after. I changed nothing in my gradle.

Could not find androidsdk.modules:shield:unspecified.
Required by:
    project :app > com.facebook.android:facebook-login:5.15.2
    project :app > com.facebook.android:facebook-core:5.15.2
    project :app > com.facebook.android:facebook-common:5.15.2
Search in build.gradle files

Here is my gradle.

I don't know how or why this happened. Reverting to a previous git repo that worked didn't change anything... What could possibly be the issue?

Answer 1

This fixed it for me. Only started happening today.

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:5.15.3'

Answer 2

I'm getting the same error when I try to build a project in Unity.

For Unity solved replacing the implementations to:

implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-applinks:[5,5.11.1)' 
implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-core:[5,5.11.1)' 
implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-login:[5,5.11.1)' 
implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-share:[5,5.11.1)'

in the Gradle template.

Answer 3

We can config 3 thing about the facebook SDK to a react native Android app:

1. Version lib in package.json.
2. Dependency on android/app/build.gradle
3. Facebook sdk version on android/build.gradle.

This errors is probably a bug: https://github.com/facebook/react-native-fbsdk/issues/701

For me work this config:

1. "react-native-fbsdk": "1.1.2", in package.json
2. implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[5,5.11.1)' on android/app/build.gradle.
3. facebookSdkVersion = '5.15.3' in android/build.gradle

Answer 4

I should have mentioned that this solution works for React Native. Rob's solution is best for native Android.

---

I just now had the same problem and here's what worked for me. Add facebookSdkVersion = "5.15.3" to

android
|--build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 18
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        ...

        // This is a temporary fix for react-native-fbsdk v1.1.2
        facebookSdkVersion = "5.15.3"
    }
}
