react native - Deprecated Gradle features not compatible

Question

I got this error when I run react-native run-android

Logs:

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0.

Android Gradle Plugin Version - 3.6.3
Gradle Version- 6.0.1

Answer 1

• Update the following files:

gradle-wrapper.properties

 distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0.1-all.zip

android/app/build.gradle

defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true   //add this
}

• Update all your third-party dependencies

• If the error still exists, run the below command:

  cd android && ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew :app:bundleRelease
  

• Try this if it still exists:

  npm install --save-dev jetifier
  npx jetify
  npx react-native run-android
