Hi, @tusharsarkar,

I've been busy preparing new release, but hopefully tomorrow I'll take a look at this issue.

Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!

Hi @tompsota ,

Hi @tusharsarkar,

I reproduced the problem. To resolve it, add following code on top of the settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts file (inside android/ folder):

pluginManagement {
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
            maven {
                url = uri("https://storage.googleapis.com/r8-releases/raw")
            }
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath("com.android.tools:r8:8.2.24")
        }
    }
}

The issue is that RN 0.73.x uses AGP 8.1.x which does not support sealed classes. However, these are used in our project. The support is again added in AGP 8.2. By adding the code above, you specify that you want to use the use newer version of AGP.

Hopefully this resolves your problem.

Let us know if this helped.

Great news!
I also added this into the troubleshooting section in readme.

Hey @tompsota, I'm using this package with Expo, as discussed previously, and requested support for Expo SDK.
While building an app, this issue still exists for me as being an ExpoSDK user.

To debug further, I'm providing a few more details to try:
"expo": "~50.0.15",
"react-native": "0.73.6",
"freerasp-react-native": "^3.7.1-1",
And as suggested, I do not have an Android directory at all.
How can I apply those settings in app.json or anywhere you recommend?

Hi @asharamseervi ,

I'll update the config plugin for Expo. Thanks for pointing it out.

[tompsota]

Hello @asharamseervi,

just released v3.7.2, which fixes the issue for Expo.

you can use R8Version property in plugin config to increase the version of R8. Any version above 8.2 should work. 8.3.37 is the latest at the moment.
