Error with GeneratePackageListTask when build for Android #46069

R1KO · 2024-08-16T15:29:11Z

Description

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:generateAutolinkingPackageList' (type 'GeneratePackageListTask').

In plugin 'com.facebook.react' type 'com.facebook.react.tasks.GeneratePackageListTask' property 'autolinkInputFile' specifies file '/Users/admin/projects/my_app/android/build/generated/autolinking/autolinking.json' which doesn't exist.

Steps to reproduce

yarn install
yarn react-native run-android

I tried to create this file with content {} but it doesn't work too.

Same thing happening to me, I tried downgrading among other things in order to try to resolve the issue, didn't help, only new things break :)

cortinico · 2024-08-17T10:38:50Z

I'm happy to help debug/fix this but without steps on how to reproduce it's literally impossible

markozix · 2024-08-17T10:49:14Z

Maybe @1500256797 can share his repo, since from the posted error it seems it is just a camera demo app and then @cortinico you can have a look? I'm not allowed to share my app code.

Gautham495 · 2024-08-17T14:19:40Z

I am getting the same

danlordan · 2024-08-17T15:40:31Z

Got this today as well:

Project is running on React-Native 0.73.8
In android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, I have distributionUrl set to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.3-all.zip
Today, for the first time, I got a new error when running the project - Minimum supported Gradle version is 8.7. Current version is 8.3. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /Users/danlordan/Documents/Work/sen-navengage-frontend/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-8.7-all.zip
I updated the distributionUrl to the one suggested by the warning message.
Running yarn a gave me the same issue as above:

When I opened Android Studio I got the same minimum supported version and updating through the GUI just made the same change to the gradle-wrapper with the same effect.

@cortinico

1、here is repo demo

https://github.com/ZhenQian-keystone/rn_74_camera_demo

2、 Reproduction steps:
When you clone my repository, you first need to run 'yarn'. Then, when you use 'npx react-native android', you will encounter this error. When you revert to the previous commit, it will build successfully. Is there a problem with the configuration?

Any solutions?

MelMayssonOwen · 2024-08-18T18:17:39Z

Same issue with 0.74.5

It wouldn't even go this far using yarn android, had to do ./gradlew app:installDevelopmentDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081

or else was getting this error

Cannot locate tasks that match 'app:installDebug' as task 'installDebug' is ambiguous in project ':app'. Candidates are: 'installDevelopmentDebug', 'installDevelopmentDebugAndroidTest', 'installProductionDebug', 'installProductionDebugAndroidTest'.```

diego-antonelli · 2024-08-19T12:56:59Z

I solved this issue with the following command:
chmod +x node_modules/.bin/rnc-cli

Seems like yarn links the new version of rn-cli but doesnt give permission to execute. After I executed the command above the issues were gone.

cortinico · 2024-08-19T15:30:33Z

Hey @1500256797,
I'm answering you as you're the only one providing a reproducer:

The problem you're having is in the settings.gradle file: https://github.com/ZhenQian-keystone/rn_74_camera_demo/blob/main/android/settings.gradle

Specifically you need to change it as follows:

rootProject.name = 'rn_74_camera_demo'
+pluginManagement { includeBuild("../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
+plugins { id("com.facebook.react.settings") }
+extensions.configure(com.facebook.react.ReactSettingsExtension){ ex -> ex.autolinkLibrariesFromCommand() }
- apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
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()

This is clearly stated in the upgrade-helper here:
https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.74.5&to=0.75.1#RnDiffApp-android-settings.gradle

I suspect most of the other build failures you folks are having are similar issues (you haven't properly followed the upgrade helper).

I'll close here as reproducer by @R1KO was never provided.

Please open separate issues + provide repros and we can look into what failed your upgrade.

MelMayssonOwen · 2024-08-19T15:37:26Z

It seems like that user is also having issues with rn 0.74.5, why mention the upgrade helper for rn 75 ?

kikeztw · 2024-08-19T21:05:50Z

I'm having the same problem. Is there any solution for this? 3 days ago this wasn't happening

react-native 0.74.3

rafaelvinicius · 2024-08-19T21:10:12Z

RN 0.75.1
I'm still having this problem. I tried some recommendations, but nothing worked.

NidhiBhansali1923 · 2024-08-20T06:29:21Z

I'm having the same problem with "react-native 0.74.3"

I have followed the below steps and able to build application successfully.

Step-1 Update package.json file for "react-native": "0.74.3" to "react-native": "0.74.4"

Step-2 Update the distributionUrl inside the gradle-wrapper.properties file
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.7-bin.zip

Step-3 Add autolinkLibrariesWithApp() within the app/build.gradle file.
react {
autolinkLibrariesWithApp()
}

Step-4 Remove below lines from app/build.gradle file.
apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle")
applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)

Step-5 Remove below line from settings.gradle file.
apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)

Step-6 Add below lines above the rootProject.name property.
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'

Step-7 Delete the .build, .gradle folder from android

Step-8 Remove node_modules, yarn.lock file and run yarn android command to build the application

Thanks!!

U saved me, i love u so much <3

MelMayssonOwen · 2024-08-20T09:50:26Z

Thank you so much, it worked !

Did you change anything to your package.json to still be able to run it this way ? I have to run it this way now ./gradlew app:installDevelopmentDebug :/

DanielFlockhart · 2024-08-20T12:11:53Z

This worked for me! Thanks bud.

NidhiBhansali1923 · 2024-08-20T14:03:10Z

You just have to install the node modules dependancy again as we updated the version for react-native inside the package.json file.
and then simply run the app by using "yarn android"
Or you can follow the any specific env as per your script.

Issue with :app:generateAutolinkingPackageList on React Native 0.75.2
I encountered the following error while upgrading my React Native project to version 0.75.2:

:app:generateAutolinkingPackageList' (type 'GeneratePackageListTask').
- In plugin 'com.facebook.react' type 'com.facebook.react.tasks.GeneratePackageListTask' property 'autolinkInputFile' specifies file

Steps I Took to Resolve the Issue:
After researching the issue, I found a solution using the official React Native upgrade helper while comparing the changes from version 0.74.3 to 0.75.2.

It turns out I had missed a few key guidelines during the upgrade. Here's what I did to fix the issue:

Added missing configuration: Specifically, I updated my settings.gradle file as per the guide. The necessary changes were related to autolinking libraries from the command.

Added in settings.gradle on top of file:

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

Removed from settings.gradle:

apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)

After applying these changes, the error was resolved, and autolinking worked correctly again.
please try it. @ailtonaires
