Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase:verifyReleaseResources'

Issue

Hi all, I am new to React Native and React Native Firebase. I manage to develop a simple app which works fine on the emulator for both Android and IOS, I manage to deploy the app onto Apple test flight and test it on couple of IOS devices with no problem. However when I try to release the APK for android using:
./gradlew assembleRelease
I get the error:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase:verifyReleaseResources'.

Does removing the duplicate implementation/include in the build.gradle and settings.gradle file make any difference?

I don't think you need any of that in the settings.gradle file either. You should only need the implementation project(':react-native-firebase') once in the build.gradle to include the dependency (it's included 3 times).

If that fails, try forcing the version of appcompat to your compiled sdk version rather than using +, e.g:

implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.0'

@davidwadge

Thanks @davidwadge , I managed to resolve this. the problem was the inconsistency of compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion between the main gradle file and the firebase one. Apparently, this was introduced as part of an upgrade.

But thanks for your post.

Hi am getting this error.
Task:@react-native-firebase_messaging:compileDebugJavaWithJavac

    compileSdkVersion = 31
    buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    targetSdkVersion = 31

@dinesh-fareye

@dinesh-fareye - commenting on old closed issues (from 2019!) will have no positive result for you. Check our integration demonstrator script https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh for how to integrate the module (and what versions can work...) and if it still is not working please post a new issue with requested details. Thanks!

Hey @dinesh-fareye
Did you solve this error??
I've facing this error two

Hi @dinesh-fareye

This is a really really old issue @shykhddaud but even if it were on a new issue it would be difficult to help without the full text of the error. A compile failure is usually some sort of inconsistency in the versions either way - if you look at the tests directory here (that's our e2e react-native app) you can see the versions we have in use, perhaps that will help you.

@mikehardy

@mikehardy I am getting the same error "Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase_messaging:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'" after updating the targetSdkVersion =30 to 31.

If things used to work and you move to API 31 and then android fails, switch to jdk11. Just a guess though, my above comment stands. Old issue here and you don't provide any specific info on your problem.

@mikehardy

@mikehardy I am getting the same error "Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase_messaging:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'" after updating the targetSdkVersion =30 to 31.

Did you manage to fix this? I'm having the same issue

I'm having the same issue, did you ever manage to fix this?

@droplessjordan

Hey @droplessjordan - if you use compile and target SDK version 30, you can use JDK8 and things will work. If you use compile or target SDK version 31 you must upgrade your tools to JDK11 everywhere. It happens frequently that people think they have done that but their gradle build is using an unexpected version of the JDK and still getting 8. All I can say is: update all places to JDK11 and make sure it is actually in use, and in combination with a compile SDK of 31 and a target SDK of 30 (I can't recommend 31 yet unless you test it thoroughly! many modules are still working ot support it) things should work

@mikehardy

Thanks @mikehardy that was right we can change the compilesdkversion = 30 to 31, and I have made this command run

brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk11

once after this I found issue was resolved.

Glad that worked!only one wrinkle is that temurin is the cask you want, adoptopenjdk is discontinued and the work continues under temurin name. React-native docs have a PR to update it officially, everything will work the same

Sorry, I don't reproduce anything like this, and my demo script works fine in release mode.

@mikehardy

@mikehardy Our solution turned out to be requiring us running the script react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle
As we found mentioned by someone who was clearly a few days deeper into and more frustrated by the same issue as us.

This is apparently something that is required by gradle versions > 5 ? Either way no worries, thanks for the help thus far!

that is not required by gradle > 5, I've been using all versions of gradle v6 through v7 and I do not have to manually run the bundle command, it is not expected that is necessary. I'm on 7.3.3 now for gradle, android gradle plugin 7.1.0

@mikehardy

@mikehardy that is strange, we're on 7.3.3 and 7.1.0 also. Running the bundle command was the only way we could get a working release version that didn't crash on opening

@droplessjake

@droplessjake my make-demo script actually does a release build of android if you'll check it. Way back during gradle 5 to 6 transition there was some manual bundling needed sometimes (if you search react-native issues list or PRs for "react-native bundle" and mikehardy you'll probably see me in there). So I'm familiar with it sometimes being needed in edge cases etc, but I'm not aware of it being needed at present even for android builds with flavors / dimensions

@droplessjake

@droplessjake / @droplessjordan well dang if I did not bump against your secondary issue myself just now! I was "luckily" building in release mode because I had not altered the template android gradle plugin from it's current default (v7.0.x) to current stable (v7.1.x) and when I tried to do that I received the same "can't load script" crash on app boot where react-native cannot find the bundle in release mode.

I read through the issue you logged in react-native issues list, and this PR seems to be the ticket to resolve it: react/react-native#33057

Hopefully it is picked to 0.68 stable prior to launch, but until then it appears android gradle plugin needs to be pinned to the v7.0.x release stream for react-native projects, I do have successful release builds with AGPv7.0.x

Hi am getting this error. Task:@react-native-firebase_messaging:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
    compileSdkVersion = 31
    buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    targetSdkVersion = 31

Make sure you'r using new jdk version, v11 and above solve the probleme.
may this be helpful for you and others facing same issue.

@mikehardy

Thanks @mikehardy that was right we can change the compilesdkversion = 30 to 31, and I have made this command run

brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk11

once after this I found issue was resolved.

I can confirm that this worked for me 👍

Of course just to make things a little more irritating for everyone (sorry! it is not my fault I swear), "adoptopenjdk" is no longer a live project. But no fear! The same group (Adoptium) is still working hard, they just changed the name, now it's "temurin".

You don't have to do this now but if you're just updating to 11 now, skip adoptopenjdk and go right to temurin

The docs on reactnative.dev will be updated soon, but just be aware that you won't get updates for adoptopenjdk anymore and the currently recommended way to install it is:

    brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
    brew install --cask temurin11

I do the whole "switch from adoptopenjdk to temurin" thing via a script (so my colleagues may run it) and it looks like this:

  export JDK_VERSION_WANTED=11
  export JDK_VERSION_WANTED_FULL=11.0.14
  if [ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]; then
    echo "Uninstalling old JDK versions as needed. May generate up to 4 'Error' lines, they are safe to ignore."
    brew uninstall adoptopenjdk8 || true
    brew uninstall adoptopenjdk11 || true
    brew untap adoptopenjdk/openjdk || true
    brew untap AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk || true
    brew cleanup

    echo "Installing openjdk$JDK_VERSION_WANTED_FULL via brew on macOS"
    brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
    brew install --cask temurin$JDK_VERSION_WANTED
    if grep adoptopenjdk "$HOME/.bash_profile" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
      sed -i -e s'/adoptopenjdk/temurin/' "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      rm -f "$HOME/.bash_profile??"
    else
      # shellcheck disable=SC2129
      echo "# --- Add JAVA_HOME items" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      echo "JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-$JDK_VERSION_WANTED.jdk/Contents/Home" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      echo "export JAVA_HOME" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      echo "PATH=\$JAVA_HOME/bin:\$PATH" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      echo "export PATH" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
      echo "# --- End add JAVA_HOME items" >> "$HOME/.bash_profile"
    fi
    echo "!!! You will need to start a new Terminal session for $JDK_VERSION_WANTED to be in effect."
    echo "!!! Exit this Terminal, open a new one, and run doctor again..."
    exit 1
  else
    echo "You appear to not have openjdk full version $JDK_VERSION_WANTED_FULL installed, but it is required. Cannot proceed"
    exit 1
  fi

@mikehardy

Hello @mikehardy I am getting the same error:

Hi am getting this error. Task:@react-native-firebase_messaging:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
    compileSdkVersion = 31
    buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    targetSdkVersion = 31

I already have installed jdk 11 and can verify when I run java -version

openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.56+19-CA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.56+19-CA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS, mixed mode)

I have equally set the path to my java installation as my environment variable and can verify when I run echo %JAVA_HOME%

I have been on this error for days now and I don't know what's wrong. I have even given a more detailed question on stackoverflow but no one seems to know the answer ):

By the way I am using eas (expo) to build the app. I have read your solution and checked my compileSdkversion and targetSdkversion and they are 31 and 30 respectively which falls in line with your solution but it still doesn't work.

I also do not use brew. Do I need to install it ?

By the way I am using eas (expo) to build the app

I don't support Expo, because I do not use Expo myself so I have no idea. I understand from other posts that you have to make sure you specify the correct Expo build image though, or it may or may not have the correct dependencies for you.

JAVA_HOME environment variable may be correct in your Terminal but may still not be the JDK actually used to compile, depending on tool chain (again, no idea how Expo does it)

It's clear from your stackoverflow post that you are not using the JDK you think you are using:

[stderr] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_342). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.

So you need to figure out how to get the eas build command to use JDK11. That's got to be a common Expo thing, I'd search their forums

OMG Thank you so much!!!!! I could give you a big hug now if I can. The direction you pointed out totally helped me solve it. With a single google search I found the answer. Although I had already solved it in development mode, I didn't state the fix in production mode in my eas.json.

Solution:
I needed to add

"production": {
  "android": {
    "image" : "ubuntu-18.04-jdk-11-ndk-r19c"
  }
 }

to my eas.json. This is the correct build image. By default, eas uses jdk 8, so it has to specified. Thank you!!!!

Updating to adoptopenjdk11 does the task for me.
I had to update the android/gradle.properties file with : org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home

@Ashishpal438

@Ashishpal438

I had to update the android/gradle.properties file with : org.gradle.java.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-11.jdk/Contents/Home

This should not be necessary and will cause problems on non-macOS machines. The java you want should be the first java in your PATH - set in the environment and gradle will simply use it. I set JAVA_HOME then on macOS machines pre-pend $JAVA_HOME/Contents/home to my $PATH and that works well, with no operating-system-specific items in gradle.properties
