React-native-camera error when compiling android


I tried to upgrade my react native project to the newest version (0.59.2). Unfortunately, now when trying to run react-native run-android im getting this error:

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:preDebugBuild'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not resolve project :react-native-camera.
 Required by:
     project :app
  > Cannot choose between the following variants of project :react-native-camera:
      - generalDebugRuntimeElements
      - mlkitDebugRuntimeElements
    All of them match the consumer attributes:
      - Variant 'generalDebugRuntimeElements':
          - Required com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' and found compatible value 'debug'.
          - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.VariantAttr 'generalDebug' but wasn't required.
          - Required com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' and found compatible value 'Aar'.
          - Required org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' and found compatible value 'java-runtime'.
          - Found react-native-camera 'general' but wasn't required.
      - Variant 'mlkitDebugRuntimeElements':
          - Required com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' and found compatible value 'debug'.
          - Found com.android.build.api.attributes.VariantAttr 'mlkitDebug' but wasn't required.
          - Required com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' and found compatible value 'Aar'.
          - Required org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' and found compatible value 'java-runtime'.
          - Found react-native-camera 'mlkit' but wasn't required.

I have already tried to create a new project however this results in the same error. Reinstalling the node modules didn't help either. On iOS it works fine.


Solution

  • Insert the following lines in android/app/build.gradle

    android {
      ...
      defaultConfig {
        ...
        missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general' <-- insert this line
      }
    }
