Expo support is down

[IsTheJack]

Edit: The final solution for me #473 (comment)

Versions:

• Node: 16.13.0
• Expo: 44.0.0
• Eas: eas-cli/0.42.4
• System: wsl-x64 Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

That issue is related to #469, but maybe it have a different solution

I'm getting this error on EAS Build:

[stderr]           flag = PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE;
[stderr]                               ^

I tried to solve that adding "minSdkVersion": 31 to "react-native-nfc-manager" plugin config on app.json:

{
    ...
    "plugins": [
      [
        "react-native-nfc-manager",
        {
          "nfcPermission": "This app uses the nfc to scan customer codes",
          "compileSdkVersion": 31 <- add this to your config
        }
      ]
    ],
    ...
}

But I keep getting the same error.

I think the easiest solution for now is to use react-native-nfc-manager@3.11.0

I’m not familiar with Expo, but from some SO discussion, it seems that you still need to modify android/build.gradle to change the compileSdkVersion.

Even if you have changed this, this might still not work because it still depends on whether the build server have installed the required toolchain for android sdk 31.

Call out to the expert! @EvanBacon hi, do you know whether EAS build supports compileSdkVersion 31 (for Android 12) now?

Some native breaking change forced the app to be compiled with android sdk 31 to support Android 12:

• Starting with Build.VERSION_CODES.S, it will be required to explicitly specify the mutability of PendingIntents

Thanks!

[IsTheJack]

Thanks, @whitedogg13. With that version, the android app worked here. I'll keep following this thread and keep searching for solutions on the Expo side.

Cheers!

I'm also getting the same issue using expo, if I find a solution I'll post it here

[rossjcooper]

It may not be ideal, but running expo prebuild fixed this for me, obviously be cautious when running this if you have modified your ios/ or android/ files as explained here.

[EvanBacon]

@IsTheJack compileSdkVersion is not a property on the config plugin so it won't do anything.

[ycdaskin]

making "minSdkVersion": 31 seems to work but this time firebase crashlytics fires an error while building. Is there any way to arrange different "minSdkVersion"s for different packages?

[IsTheJack]

To fix that on Expo apps. Get the last version of react-native-nfc-manager, install expo-build-properties (expo install expo-build-properties). Finally, add it to app.json:

{
  "expo": {
    ...
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "compileSdkVersion": 31
          }
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}
