How can I fix the Execution failed for task ':expo-image-picker:compileReleaseKotlin' error in react-native Expo android build?

Execution failed for task ':expo-image-picker:compileReleaseKotlin'.

I am a beginner in react-native and it is my first project which I'm trying to build.

But on building i receive following errors:

Error: Gradle build failed with unknown error. See logs for the "Run gradlew" phase for more information.

I am struggling with this error for second week and can't find any solution to fix it.

As I understand, i may be wrong, but this issues comes because of the dependencies incapability.

Will be so happy and grateful for any help and info

I tried to google, ask chat-gpt and also follow the guide which i found here: https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/15629, but still same errors

Its not the best solution, but just downgrading to 14.0.0 fixed the problem. You could increase the version till it breaks. I did not have time play with it. If you do that please share the version in the comment.

I was running into the same issue and downgrading works for now. You might also consider react-native-image-picker.
