Expo 48 Android Build Error

[elevyg]

I'm facing the same issue presented here: ospfranco/react-native-quick-sqlite#118

Any idea what can it be? I can help on fixing it but do not have much experience with this kind of configuraitons.

Same problem. I'm guessing you are trying to build through EAS and since you don't have a root android config it will fail on:

def USE_HERMES = rootProject.ext.hermesEnabled

I used patch-package to just set it manually, but it would obviously be better to just fix the build script in the package. Someone with more experience with expo build steps and configuration can probably come up with a better solution :)

Would be great if this library would work out of the box with Expo EAS since expo-sqlite have messed up sqlite versions and problems with transactions.

I ended up doing the same!

i used this package to solve it https://www.npmjs.com/package/expo-gradle-ext-vars

[earonesty]

in the root build gradle file:

ext {
  hermesEnabled = (findProperty('expo.jsEngine') ?: "hermes") == "hermes"
}

@elevyg thank you for creating the issue, can you please provide a reproduction example? :)

I found the issue in here.
Beside update minSdkVersion, I also modify app.json to enable hermes

  "expo": {
      ...
      "jsEngine": "hermes"
      ...
   }

But does anyone know why it doesn't work with npx expo start?
Using eas build or npx expo run:android just take too long to restart the app.

Try delete folder:

node_modules/react-native-quick-sqlite/android/.cxx/Debug

After delete folder, run android again.

npx react-native run-android

Its worked for me!

I'm going to close this issue, since this should have been fixed in one of the latest releases: https://github.com/margelo/react-native-quick-sqlite/releases/tag/v8.2.5

Lmk if this is still an issue. Our current supported minimum RN version is v0.74.0 anyway, so i don't think this is relevant anymore.
