i tried this with ai

This error occurs when there is an issue with the Kotlin compilation process for the react-native-gesture-handler library. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

1. Make sure that you have the correct version of Kotlin Gradle Plugin installed. You can check the version in your project's build.gradle file under dependencies.

2. Try cleaning and rebuilding your project by running the following commands in your project directory:

cd android
./gradlew clean
cd ..
react-native run-android

3. If the issue persists, try updating your Kotlin version by adding the following line to your project's build.gradle file:

ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.21'

Then update the Kotlin Gradle Plugin version to match:


classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.21"

4. If none of the above steps work, try disabling Kotlin compilation for the react-native-gesture-handler library by adding the following line to your project's build.gradle file:

configurations.all {
    exclude group: 'com.facebook.react', module: 'react-native-gesture-handler'
}

Then run react-native run-android again.

Hopefully one of these steps will resolve the issue for you.

I solved it by upgrading my react-native-gesture-handler to version 2.9.0.

1. Update package.json:
   Open your project's package.json file and find the dependency for react-native-gesture-handler. Change the version number to "2.9.0" (don't forget to remove ^). It should look like this:

   "dependencies": {
     "react-native-gesture-handler": "2.9.0",
     // other dependencies...
   }
   

2. Uninstall the node_modules folder.

3. Run npm install

4. Try building your project now

updating my android build.gradle buildscript to

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = '33.0.0'
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 33
        targetSdkVersion = 33
  }
....
}

worked for me

Install the below packages with specific versions that will resolve your error :

npm i @react-native-community/masked-view@0.1.11 @react-navigation/native@6.0.10 @react-navigation/stack@6.2.1 react-native-gesture-handler@2.4.2 react-native-safe-area-context@4.2.5 react-native-screens@3.2.0 react-navigation@4.4.4

and import :

import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

If the error is related to cxx modules, add this classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.3.1") on android/build.gradle.

Also check this issue

Not sure why, but this seems to solve my problem.

1: Add a String to android/build.gradle

kotlinVersion = "1.8.10"

2: Delete node_modules folder

rm -r node_modules

3:npm i

4:npx react-native run-android

Also run VS code (if you're working in it) as an administrator.
