Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2

Description

Create a Kotlin multiplatofrm mobile application project, and build the corresponding Xcode project, output the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

BUILD FAILED in 727ms
Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

Environment

  • macOS 120.01
  • Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Patch 2

Solution

It seems execute the gradle command :shared:embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode need Java 11, while during Xcode build it detect the java8.

Check Java version:

$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_251"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_251-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.251-b08, mixed mode)

Check Java location

$ where java
/usr/bin/java
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

According to the explanation about Java Home

Many Java applications need to know the location of a $JAVA_HOME directory.

The $JAVA_HOME on Mac OS X should be found using the /usr/libexec/java_home command line tool on Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

On older Mac OS X versions where the tool does not exist, use the fixed path "/Library/Java/Home".

The /usr/libexec/java_home tool dynamically finds the top Java version specified in Java Preferences for the current user. This path allows access to the bin subdirectory where command line tools such as java, javac, etc. exist as on other platforms.

The tool /usr/libexec/java_home allows you to specify a particular CPU architecture and Java platform version when locating a $JAVA_HOME.

Another advantage of dynamically finding this path, as opposed to hardcoding the fixed endpoint, is that it is updated when a new version of Java is downloaded via Software Update or installed with a newer version of Mac OS X.

For this reason, it is important that developers do not install files in the JDKs inside of System, since the changes will be lost with subsequent updates by newer versions of Java.

To obtain the path to the currently executing $JAVA_HOME, use the java.home System property.

I add the environment to the ~/.bash_profile file with the following content:

export JAVA8_HOME="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_251.jdk/Contents/Home"
export JAVA11_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"
export JAVA_HOME=${JAVA11_HOME}
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}

and then execute source ~/.bash_profile to restart the environment config.

After that my java version become to java 11

$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.15+0-b2043.56-8887301)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.15+0-b2043.56-8887301, mixed mode)

It seems everything is ok, but when I rebuild the XCode project, the same error.

I decided to output the Java version when XCode build by replace the Build Script with the following content:

cd "$SRCROOT/.."

java -version

./gradlew :shared:embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode

It still output the Java 8

java version "1.8.0_251"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_251-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.251-b08, mixed mode)

I decided to expose the JAVA_HOME to XCode directly by replace the Build Script with the following content:

cd "$SRCROOT/.."

export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home"

echo "after export java:"
java -version

./gradlew :shared:embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode

It's OK.
