Could not get unknown property 'com' for settings 'android' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings

Question

I have a problem with running ./gradlew clean in my react-native project.

This is the file settings.gradle

pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }
rootProject.name = 'ProjectName'

include ':app'

includeBuild('../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin')

apply from: new File(\["node", "--print", "require.resolve('expo/package.json')"\].execute(null, rootDir).text.trim(), "../scripts/autolinking.gradle")
useExpoModules()

The output:

• Where: Settings file '/projectpath/**/android/settings.gradle' line: 3

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating settings 'android'.

Could not get unknown property 'com' for settings 'android' of type org.gradle.initialization.DefaultSettings.

Answer 1

I fixed it by upgrading gradle version from 8.7-all to 8.9-all
