My React Native was working fine upto 4 November but now throwing an exception while Running yarn android

Question

I have tried many solutions but all in vain, including this React Native Android build failure with different errors without any changes in code for past days due to publish of React Native version 0.71.0-rc.0 I am having deadline ahead and my project is not building from last 4 days, any help will be appreciated.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
   > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
     dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
     is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).
     Dependency: androidx.activity:activity-compose:1.4.0.
     AAR metadata file: /Users/dev/.gradle/caches/transforms-2/files-2.1/c35837abe789834d04f87678613d3ab9/jetified-activity-compose-1.4.0/META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I have tried compileSdkVersion = 31 targetSdkVersion = 31 after that I am getting

Execution failed for task ':react-native-incall-manager:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

My build.gradle file is

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 31
        targetSdkVersion = 31
        androidXCore = "1.7.0" 
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.1")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
    }
}

React native version is "^0.66.3"

Are there features from the new version you 100% need? You may be aware, the `rc` means release *candidate*, it's not an official release. Rolling back is probably your best option. — Abe, Nov 09 '22 at 05:43
I didn't alter anything in my code it was working fine but now it is not working my previous compileSdkVersion was 30 and targetSdkVersion 30 i only changed it to 31 as it was throwing error — Ravis Farooq, Nov 09 '22 at 05:49

Your app was working fine before right so, please follow below steps and check

Revert back all the changes you have made after that (if you changed versions of sdk, gradle, java, react-native etc)
Delete node_modules
Delete build folders (android/build & android/app/build)
Recheck the package.json if the react-native version is as which was worked before (in your case 0.66.3)
Run npm install or yarn to install packages
Clean (remove gradle cache like mentioned here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/30450020/10657559) and rebuild the app by adding the below changes to your android/build.gradle file

def REACT_NATIVE_VERSION = new File(['node', '--print',"JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync(require.resolve('react-native/package.json'), 'utf-8')).version"].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim())


buildscript {
     // ...
}
    
    
allprojects {
    configurations.all {
          resolutionStrategy {
            force "com.facebook.react:react-native:" + REACT_NATIVE_VERSION
          }
    }
    // ...  
}

This is an issue from gradle servers. There are many official fixes being launched. You can either upgrade react-native to 0.70.5 or you can patch it using fix available here. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/35249

It is causing due to some issue at react-native since friday, 4 Nov 2022. Updating your react-native version can solve it.

Note: No need to update gradle files for this issue.

All fix version of RN are mentioned here. Ex: if you are on 0.64.3, change to 0.64.4
