change compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 31

Hello I’m using SDK 44 and eas-cli/0.45.1 darwin-x64 node-v14.17.2.
I’m trying to install the popular library blurhash (latest version)

Here’s the error I get right now:

 FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
[stderr] * What went wrong:

So after some searching looks like I have to modify the build.gradle to change compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 31, is there any other way than writing a config plugin?

config plugin is a good way to do it, or you can try changing it in blurhash using patch-package, or you can use an older version of blurhash

Thank you using this patch, the build passed :slight_smile:

These days it’s possible to do this without writing your own plugin:

With SDK 45 it’s even easier:
