Hi all,
I am having this error after i install react native camera. Can anyone help me. I have changed build.gradle dependency classpath to 3 also. But nothing is working. Any ideas?
error -
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-camera'.

I got the problem using react-native 0.55.0 . Try downgrading react-native. I'm using react-native 0.53.3 and react-native-camera 1.0.3 without problem.

lech-code-monkey · 2018-05-02T05:50:19Z

I have the same error:

PasinduDineth · 2018-05-02T05:56:54Z

@24 after editing as you told, im getting this error,
Android dependency 'com.android.support:support-v4' has different version for the compile (23.0.1) and runtime (27.1.0) classpath. You should manually set the same version via DependencyResolution
any help?

ma3dau · 2018-05-02T13:57:22Z

@PasinduDineth it can be solved by excluding "com.android.support" from react-native-camera implementation in /android/app/build.gradle

implementation (project(':react-native-camera')) {
        exclude group: "com.android.support"
}

jgfidelis · 2018-05-02T17:15:36Z

@ma3dau Beware that if you exclude the support lib and not add it for compilation correctly on the build.gradle, your app will crash when taking a picture.

harshaSenaratne · 2018-05-04T08:45:38Z

@PasinduDineth
This worked for me : Make sure your react native version first , if you are using react-native < 0.40 then
npm install --save react-native-camera@0.4. If react-native > 0.40 then do npm install --save react-native-camera@0.6 . Link the react-native-camera using react-native link react-native-camera

Follow the steps below after linking.
- in node_modules\react-native-camera\index.js
  1. removed PropTypes from import React, { Component, PropTypes } from 'react';
  2. add import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
in package.json.
1. add in "dependencies" "prop-types": "^15.6.0"

x3388638 · 2018-05-04T11:25:20Z

@PasinduDineth
I use the code @24 provided but get the same problem
however it was solved by adding the following code in android/build.gradle

subprojects {
  project.configurations.all {
     resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
        if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
              && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
           details.useVersion "27.1.0"
        }
     }
  }
}

and changing compileSdkVersion & buildToolsVersion in android/app/build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion "27.0.0"
    ...

finally, it works

modules version

{
    "react": "16.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.55.3",
    "react-native-camera": "^1.1.2",
    "react-native-qrcode-scanner": "^1.0.1",
}

841660202 · 2018-05-05T07:58:50Z

who tell me how to solve it?

ma3dau · 2018-05-05T13:02:55Z

I solve it, but maybe I have some specific case of use. I use react-native-camera as part of react-native-qrcode-scanner, so I don't need to take a picture and other camera functionality. For me helped @24 solution, but next error "different version for the compile" I couldn't solve with @x3388638 suggestions. My solution for app/build.gradle is:

compile (project(':react-native-camera')) {
      exclude group: "com.android.support", module: 'support-v4'
}

my modules version is same as @x3388638.
my top level build.grande is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
           url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        google()
    }
}

gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists

...
android {
	compileSdkVersion 25
	buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
...
dependencies {
    compile (project(':react-native-camera')) {
       exclude group: "com.android.support", module: 'support-v4'
    }
}

If excluding com.android.support is a bad way and will be a better solution I'll try it. For my issue (reading barcodes) this setup works as well.

pstanton · 2018-05-24T06:56:17Z

I've managed to get it working by making numerous changes some listed here, others found all over the web. I also use react-native-maps which has conflicting requirements. This is a major problem and requires immediate attention.

kkusanagi · 2018-05-24T08:00:21Z

I'm using react-native-camera@0.10 version for com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.+ which is quite stable for that version.

Once update the gradle, build version, react-native-camera, build.gradle, the whole system just crash. and don't know how to fix it. Really need some technical support / advice on how to upgrade properly.

By following android official migrate steps, only fix the latest react-native version, but for other plugin, all just crash.

Anyone who can create a blog about how to upgrade version would be helpful.

Enigma10 · 2018-05-30T05:37:13Z

Hey Guys , My error got fixed with combination of @24 and @x3388638 solutions. :) .

mgiacopu · 2018-05-30T12:12:56Z

@ma3dau your changes make the app compile but when I try to open the scanner it crashes without errors... I still don't get why the first error showed up.

mgiacopu · 2018-05-30T12:21:10Z

Instead, a combination of @24 and @x3388638 codes gives the final solution.
Now it works like a charm.
Thank you guys! Thumbs up!

kk412027247 · 2018-06-22T09:25:47Z

Combine @24 and @x3388638 codes, than I get a final solution.
I make a combine edition here,

android/build.gradle

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

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
    }
}

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "26.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 16
    compileSdkVersion = 26
    targetSdkVersion = 26
    supportLibVersion = "26.1.0"
}

subprojects {

 project.configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
       if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
              && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
           details.useVersion "26.1.0"
        }
     }
  }

  afterEvaluate {project ->
      if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
          android {
              compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
              defaultConfig {
                  targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
              }
          }
      }
  }
}

android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

android/app/build.gradle

android{
  compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
  buildToolsVersion rootProject.ext.buildToolsVersion
    defaultConfig{
      
      minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
      targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion  
      .....
    }
  .....
}

ADDITION
If your project has other android package like react-native-image-picker, when you run ./gradlew assembleRelease, you probably get a error AAPT: resource android:attr/colorError not found.
In order to fix this, you should make sure the compile version of the package match to your project.
The following code do this work.

    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
                defaultConfig {
                    targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
                }
            }
        }
    }

MORE
If you get a error : uncompiled PNG file passed as argument. Must be compiled first into .flat file.. error: failed parsing overlays.

modify ./android/gradle.properties, add the following code.

android.enableAapt2=false

blogdaren · 2018-07-01T07:19:46Z

@kk412027247 tks for your final solution with combination @24 and @x3388638 codes, it really works well.

bbeckk · 2018-07-18T09:03:56Z

This solves the issue: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/blob/master/docs/GradleUpgradeGuide.md

However it gives an warning but build is successful.

WARNING: The specified Android SDK Build Tools version (26.0.1) is ignored, 
as it is below the minimum supported version (27.0.3) for Android Gradle Plugin 3.1.0.
