(React Native): Execution failed for task ':app:generatePackageList'

Question

I am generating an apk of a project that I developed using React Native. But when I run the command ./gradlew assembleRelease The following error appears:

> Configure project :react-native-audio
WARNING: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' and 'api'.
It will be removed in version 5.0 of the Android Gradle plugin.
For more information, see http://d.android.com/r/tools/update-dependency-configurations.html.

I just ran across the same problem and was able to track down why it was happening on my system. Using the --stacktrace flag helped to figure out what was going on, which ended up pointing to the react-native-community/cli package.

After scanning the issues and PRs in the react-native-community/cli repo, I found this PR https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1396 which adds support for Gradle 7.

I had Gradle 7 on my system and downgrading to Gradle 6, running gradle wrapper, then ./gradlew clean allowed me to move on.

Hope that solves your issue, or at least gives you some insight on how to track it down on your system!

Gradle doesnt support Java 16 except version 7.0 for Gradle. And react-native-cli doesnt support Gradle 7.0. What a incredible day :/ – Hakan May 19 '21 at 08:43

@AbdulBasit ´gradlew wrapper´ is for windows users, not everyone uses MAC! – showtime Aug 01 '21 at 20:46

Same here: "Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.9" and that's all she wrote. – he77kat_ Aug 25 '21 at 20:59

Use Gradle Version 6.9

Here are the highlights of this release:

This is a small backport release.

Java 16 can be used to compile when used with Java toolchains

Dynamic versions can be used within plugin declarations

Native support for Apple Silicon processors

Use Gradle Wrapper to change the Version.

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.9

Instead of downgrading, I checked the reactNativeModule parameter mentioned at line 131.

It seems like ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>[] packages = this.reactNativeModules, there is literally a mismatch.

Indeed reactNativeModule doesn't have brackets in his declaration.

So I changed the following line in native_modules.gradle from:

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>[] packages = this.reactNativeModules

to:

ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> packages = this.reactNativeModules

Whoa. Is this an upstream typo? How did it ever work!? Talk about JANKY...I'll go with this for now. – lmat - Reinstate Monica Aug 09 '23 at 22:09
I don't have the option to downgrade to Gradle < 7 (due to other deps) so tried this, and it worked. Thanks. – BenHerbert Aug 22 '23 at 12:23

Upgrade your react-native version to the latest one with npx react-native upgrade

I had to upgrade from JDK 1.8 to 11 and this error occurred.

Thanks to J Myers answer I found that I had to upgrade the react native version: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/1396

Steps to solve it for React Native*

Find apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project) in your app -> build.gradle.
Check if this line of code is being repeated.
Comment out one of them.

This should solve your issue.

Upgrading @react-native-community/cli as described here solved the issue for me: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli#updating-the-cli

If you use lock files (yarn.lock or package-lock.json) - find all the @react-native-community/cli prefixed entries, remove them, run yarn install / npm install once again.
