EAS Build Error - Could not get unknown property 'FLIPPER_VERSION' (Graddle)

empdigital · October 26, 2022, 5:51pm

Hello, these last couple weeks we’ve been trying to compile a Android App using EAS Build. So far, the process manages to reach the “gradlew” script, in which it fails giving the following error message:

Running 'gradlew :app:bundleRelease' in /home/expo/workingdir/build/android

Welcome to Gradle 7.3.3!
Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Easily declare new test suites in Java projects
 - Support for Java 17
- Support for Scala 3
For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/release-notes.html
To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build

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

Using the following command: eas build -p android --profile client-release.

This is the profile client-release mentioned before:

"client-release": {
      "distribution": "internal",
      "releaseChannel": "staging",
      "android": {
        "gradleCommand": ":app:assembleRelease",
        "buildType": "apk"
      }
},

What’s interesting about this message, is the line that reads “Could not get unknown property ‘FLIPPER_VERSION’ for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler”. We think it means that the script cannot get access to the configuration file to bring the placeholders values in and replace them.

Our research has not come with many results of what could be wrong. And what we have tried so far has not changed the the process’s results.

This we have tried:

Replacing the ${FLIPPER_VERSION} placeholders in ./android/app/build.gradle with the string avaible in the ./android/gradle.properties file.
Going back to older versions of our project and try compiling.
Running the “gradlew” script locally.

This last one is important, because it managed to run without errors. We compiled an apk and a aab file with this method and no problems popped out… the error only appear when running the script in the Expo servers.

We are using managed workflow, with eas-cli/2.4.1 win32-x64 node-v16.14.1
