Getting "verifyReleaseResources" error after upgrading React Native

I'm trying to upgrade an application to React Native 0.57.1. I think I've followed all the steps, upgraded all the right files, yet I'm still getting an error that I cannot understand:

:react-native-document-picker:compileReleaseSources UP-TO-DATE

error: failed linking references.
:react-native-document-picker:verifyReleaseResources FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-document-picker:verifyReleaseResources'.
> com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

I can't really make sense of these errors, any idea what they mean? How can I find out how to fix this?

I've tried various things, including deleting the .cache directory, changing the gradle version but nothing seems to help. Any idea?

If you're getting this error by running something like react-native run-android --deviceId DEVICE_ID_HERE, there's a bug on React-Native where it tries to build the app for a specific device (with --deviceId as an argument) using this command ./gradlew build -X lint instead of this one ./gradlew app:build -X lint.

It fails with this error because most of the React-Native apps are multi-module on the Android side and when you don't specify the app name it should build, Gradle tries to guess which one is the root one, thus guessing wrongly and throwing this error.

In order to fix this issue, you may want to patch this issue with yarn patch or npm patch-package commands, the result is something like the following:

Reason for the error:

In my case, I had installed react-native-thermal-receipt-printer as a dependency, And the reason for this error is that the configurations of your android/build.gradle and node_modules/react-native-thermal-receipt-printer/android/build.gradle mismatch.

Solution

  1. Navigate to node_modules/react-native-thermal-receipt-printer/android/build.gradle
  2. Edit and keep the compileSdkVersion buildToolsVersion minSdkVersion targetSdkVersion same as you have in android/build.gradle
  3. Save it and change dir cd android.
  4. Run ./gradlew clean
  5. Run ./gradlew assembleRelease

The command cd android && ./gradlew app:assembleRelease do the magic.

I've found a github link where a command help in almost every type of verifyReleaseResource errors. Ref: https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config/issues/330#issuecomment-494915023

For me, what fixed the issue was prefixing with app

./gradlew app:assembleRelease

Had another reason for this issue, I had previously modified minSdkVersion. All you need to do is to remove /node_modules/ folder, /android/build and /android/app/build folders, re npm install and perform ./gradlew assembleRelease again.

You need to add following code in your project's android/build.gradle:

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 27
                buildToolsVersion "27.0.2"
            }
        }
    }
}
