any updates on this one?

[maddeye]

Not really. I found, that Gradle 7.3.3 and Gradle Plugin 7.2.2 is the sweetspot to get everything running and use the current react. You can set this in Android Studio -> Open Module Settings -> Project. Hope this helps!

Muchas Gracias bro. El problema se resolvió @sleaper

Adding kotlinVersion =1.7.0 to my android/gradle.properties file in my project fixed it for me.

By android/gradle.properties do you mean android/build.gradle

Bug is still there, i have a temporary fix for everyone who faces this error:
go to react-native-vision-camera in the node-modules folder. There go to android/build.gradle and search for this line org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin, change it to: org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.6.20 save, then run cd android && ./gradlew clean and then restart your App, works for me, i hope this bug gets fixed soon

[Jhon-Idrovo]

This is stopping me from using this in production. Please fix it @mrousavy

[sergioprz]

Has anyone gotten it to work with rn 0.70.8?

Worked for me Thank you :-)

[mrousavy]

That's because RN upgrades (or other libs that use Kotlin) break the version. There's not a lot I can do about this apart from just updating Kotlin version everytime.

[thegreatzeus]

@mrousavy Please upgrade the version because only you can update the npm package. I would have to manually make changes to the library folder in node_modules every time I want to build locally and if I want to use EAS build I can't even do that.

Please push this change. Thank you!

ndroid/gradle.properties

Thanks bro, life saver.

[Jhon-Idrovo]

For those using expo you can install a config plugin:
https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/build-properties/

and in your app.json

"expo":
 "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "kotlinVersion": "1.7.0"
          }
        }
      ]
    ]

My previous error is eliminated but now my screen turns blank when I start the camera. Any fix for it.?

[erikemg]

I tried the method you provided but my apk just crashes as soon as I open it. Is there a way to fix this?

[istashak]

I've literally tried every suggested fix on this thread, and none of them have worked. I can't get past a gradle sync.

[mrousavy]

Hey! I've rewritten the entire Android codebase of VisionCamera from CameraX to Camera2 in the efforts of ✨ VisionCamera V3.

I just now completed the Camera2 rewrite and I believe the core structure is running, but there might be some edge cases to iron out. Can you try and test the PR #1674 for me to see if you can still reproduce this issue here?

Here's an instruction on how you can test that: #1674 (comment)

If the issue cannot be reproduced with that version/PR anymore, then hoorayy, I fixed it! 🎉
Otherwise please let me know and I'll keep this issue open to keep track of it.

Thank you!

use npm patch-package to patch it on your end with your changes so it applies changes on every npm install until the new version comes out

edit : i checked the files, it picks your kotlin version from your android/build.gradle but only if you have it defined there and the name matches "kotlinVersion" make sure you have it in your ext config and the name matches, i was using "kotlin_version" as kotlin version variable which caused the issue.

This is the true answer, thank you so much!

Adding kotlinVersion =1.7.0 to my android/gradle.properties file in my project fixed it for me.
