Android: unable to build with React native 0.69

[squio]

Running the Android build command: npx react-native run-android

Output:

> Configure project :klippa_react-native-klippa-scanner-sdk
WARNING:Software Components will not be created automatically for Maven publishing from Android Gradle Plugin 8.0. To opt-in to the future behavior, set the Gradle property android.disableAutomaticComponentCreation=true in the `gradle.properties` file or use the new publishing DSL.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

Using latest release "@klippa/react-native-klippa-scanner-sdk": "^0.2.5"

Checked the following config for gradle 7.x:

If you're using gradle 7+ you will need to change copyDownloadableDepsToLibs in the app/build.gradle. It should now look like:

task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.implementation
    into 'libs'
}

This was already the case and upgrading to 0.2.6 didn't fix the build error either.

Noticed that the error is only related to the JavaDoc so I commented out all related build steps in the klippa build.gradle file:

// ...line 113:
afterEvaluate { project ->
    // some Gradle build hooks ref:
    // https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/gradle-beyond-the/9781449373801/ch03.html
//    task androidJavadoc(type: Javadoc) {
//        source = android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs
//        classpath += files(android.bootClasspath)
//        classpath += files(project.getConfigurations().getByName('klippaConfig').asList())
//        include '**/*.java'
//    }

//    task androidJavadocJar(type: Jar, dependsOn: androidJavadoc) {
//        classifier = 'javadoc'
//        from androidJavadoc.destinationDir
//    }

// ... stuff omitted

    artifacts {
        archives androidSourcesJar
//        archives androidJavadocJar
    }

So this is not really a solution but a work around to make the project build.

Closing as this is no longer an issue when building with RN 0.70 in a clean project 👍
