[android][expo-sqlite/next] android build error: Could not find method useDefaultAndroidSdkVersions() for arguments [] on project ':expo-sqlite' of type org.gradle.api.Project

[paulayo93]

Please am having the same error in expo-blur

Could not find method useDefaultAndroidSdkVersions() for arguments [] on project ':expo-blur' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

Got it fixed running this command :

npx expo install --fix

@gpurbia I am getting this same error but with expo-document-picker tried so many things but not getting any solution. Still Trying

[adamspotlite]

is this related to the release of Expo 51? we're on 50 but maybe something snuck into the build pipeline?

had this happen for the first time after really minimal code changes an hour ago.

Have the same problem thrown by expo-constants.
npx expo install --fix did not fix it.

[gpurbia]

@bigxalx it should work with expo 51, i upgraded with 51, and it start working.

Hi there! It looks like your issue requires a minimal reproducible example, but it is invalid or absent. Please prepare such an example and share it in a new issue.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide a clean and easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue on their own machine. Please do not provide your entire project, or a project with more code than is necessary to reproduce the issue.

A side benefit of going through the process of narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue is that you may get lucky and discover that the bug is due to a mistake in your application code that you can quickly fix on your own.

Resources

• "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example"
• "How to narrow down the source of an error"

Common concerns

"I've only been able to reproduce it in private, proprietary code"

You may not have spent enough time narrowing down the root cause of the issue. Try out the techniques discussed in this manual debugging guide to learn how to isolate the problem from the rest of your codebase.

"I didn't have time to create one"

That's understandable, it can take some time to prepare. We ask that you hold off on filing an issue until you are able to fully complete the required fields in the issue template.

"You can reproduce it by yourself by creating a project and following these steps"

This is useful knowledge, but it's still valuable to have the resulting project that is produced from running the steps, where you have verified you can reproduce the issue.

@gpurbia Did you find the solution ???

[gpurbia]

@Shubh-Rajawat not yet, i am going with expo-sqlite again for now, will check with expo 51 if its resolved or not.

[gpurbia]

https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/sdk-51/packages/expo-document-picker/android/build.gradle

@Shubh-Rajawat yeah, because the same method is there also in gradle file, check above link. There may be something we are missing with dependencies here. Or you can try with expo 51 which was released today only.

npx expo install --fix it worked.. Thanks to both of you @paulayo93 and @gpurbia . This was my first React native project, Now I have downloaded the file from expo.dev and the extension is .aab I don't know how to use it as apk in mobile. I am still figuiring this out.

Found this too .-- https://docs.expo.dev/build-reference/apk/

That worked, thanks!

This might be useful to anyone who updated to expo 51 on day one: I got some errors, so reverted back to 50. If you experienced the same, try upgrading to 51 again as 51.0.2 seemed to fix the bugs I got.

[costaDZ]

having the same issue with expo 50 , Could not find method useDefaultAndroidSdkVersions() for arguments [] on project ':expo-system-ui' .

I didn't want to upgrade to expo 51 because it doesn't support some modules i uses in my project , like expo-background-fetch

[ldallalio]

I was on Expo 50 and tried npx expo install --fix with no luck then upgraded to expo@51 and then ran npx expo install --fix with success, I was having a problem with expo-crypto.
