Android build fail - Execution failed for task ':app:mergeExtDexRelease'.

irinagm · October 10, 2023, 10:10am

Hi everyone!

When I tried to do either an ANDROID production or a development build of my Expo react native project, I’m encountering an issue with the execution of the task ‘:app:mergeExtDexRelease’. I’ve tried all the possible solutions that does not involve changing the android/app/build.gradle or android/gradle.properties

Error:

What have I tried?

rm -rf node_modules and npm I
npx expo-doctor: Didn't find any issues with the project!
eas build --cache-clear
npm cache clean --force
checked dependencies versions
npx expo install --fix : `dependencies are up to date"

Has anyone encountered the same error? How did you solve it?
Thank you!

I also tried to overwrite the Kotlin version at app.json

     [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "compileSdkVersion": 34,
            "targetSdkVersion": 33,
            "kotlinVersion": "1.8.10"
          },
          "ios": {
            "deploymentTarget": "13.0"
          }
        }
      ],

Didn’t work as well

brents · October 11, 2023, 9:01pm

you have a bunch of libraries that we don’t validate the versions of, so you might want to look at those - eg: react-native-markdown-package, react-native-swipe-gestures, react-native-video. it’s hard to give more concrete advice with your full logs. i suspect react-native-video is the likely culprit.

irinagm · October 13, 2023, 10:30am

I’ve changed the react-native-video dependency to expo-av and the issue is still there. Changing the dependencies at this point, unfortunately is not a possible solution for us.

brents · October 13, 2023, 8:40pm

hey there. you’ll need to figure out which of your dependencies is causing this issue. this may be a good approach: https://expo.fyi/manual-debugging

wodin · October 14, 2023, 8:18am

Start by uninstalling these.

Also, if you are referencing @expo/metro-config in metro.config.js, you should change that to use expo/metro-config as shown on this page: Metro bundler - Expo Documentation

No need for this. It’s handled by @babel/core and the following babel.config.js:

module.exports = function(api) {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
  };
};

Are you using this? If not, uninstall it. I am not familiar with it. If you need it, at least move it to devDependencies.

Also double check if there are any other dependencies that you are not actually using and are not required by other dependencies. e.g. React Navigation requires react-native-safe-area-context and react-native-screens and the stack navigator requires react-native-gesture-handler.

e.g. are you using both the stack navigator and the native stack navigator? Maybe uninstall the one you’re not using. This is probably not the cause of your problem, but it’s usually best to uninstall what you aren’t using.

I believe Brent meant to say *without your full logs.

The build errors are most likely caused by some sort of conflict between some of your dependencies. You first need to find out which ones are conflicting. Once you know that, you can perhaps contact the authors of that/those dependency/ies to figure out a solution. It will also give you a way to ask questions that are more likely to get useful answers.

The way I have done this sort of thing in the past is by basically doing a bisection search on the dependencies. i.e. remove half of them and see if the error goes away. If so, the problem is most likely in the other half. This is the sort of thing that Brent’s manual debugging link is about.

wodin · October 14, 2023, 6:14pm

FYI, I created a new app, installed all of your dependencies from your initial post, added the following config plugin:

    "plugins": [
      [
        "react-native-auth0",
        {
          "domain": "{DOMAIN}"
        }
      ]
    ],

and tried building the app locally:

$ export JAVA_VERSION=11
$ eas build -p android --profile preview --local

and it worked for me.

[...]
Build successful
You can find the build artifacts in /tmp/deps/build-1697307019954.apk

It could be that you have an android directory and something in there is causing problems. If you do have an android directory, try moving it out of the way and see if you can build the app.

irinagm · October 16, 2023, 10:53am

Thank you @brents and @wodin for the replies, I’ve tried to debug and check each dependency. When I tried to build the app locally I am getting the error bellow:

If I’m interpreting this correctly, you do have an android directory, but for some reason, npx expo prebuild didn’t like it and regenerated it.

irinagm:

[RUN_GRADLEW]       > com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueException: SDK location not found.

“Define a valid SDK location with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable”

It looks like it can’t find your Android SDK. See the following page and define the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to point to where you have it installed.

Hi @wodin, thank you for your fast reply.

I really don’t understand why this errors are occurring and are blocking the App release.

I also tried to start a fresh project, but I am running through the same errors.

I reinstalled the expo-av and had no changes

When I run eas build -p android --profile preview --local (with the java versions 11 and 17) I get the error logs bellow:

Build failed
Gradle build failed with unknown error. See logs for the "Run gradlew" phase for more information.
npx exited with non-zero code: 1

There was no android folder, I made sure to delete it before starting the build and the emulator was running.

Running eas build --clear-cache I get the error logs bellow:

Try creating a new app and adding those dependencies and the bare minimum “plugins” options needed (presumably just the react-native-auth0 domain stuff.)

Leave the default App.js.

Try to build that on Expo’s servers with eas build -p android --profile preview

If that works, you could try building with --local. If it works on Expo’s servers, but not locally, then you can investigate that.

If it does not work on the server (it did work locally for me, so it should work for you using Expo’s build servers), then post the errors here and also a link to the build page (in case one of the Expo team members is able to have a look. I don’t work for Expo, so don’t have access to your build logs.)

If you get it to build (and again, I think at least building a new app on the Expo build servers should work), then you can try adding the JavaScript from the real app.

Hopefully the above will give you more info to troubleshoot what’s going wrong in the real app.

Hi @wodin! Thank you so much for your help I managed to do a build and the issue was overriding the versions at app.json. I deleted the lines bellow.

  "compileSdkVersion": 34,
    "targetSdkVersion": 33,
      "kotlinVersion": "1.8.10"
