Android build failure: EXPO 49 + 0.0.1-beta.14

I had the same problem and it took me some time, so I'll share it with you.

I updated my java to version 17

➜ java -version

openjdk version "17.0.9" 2023-10-17 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu17.46+19-CA (build 17.0.9+8-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu17.46+19-CA (build 17.0.9+8-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

and I also updated "expo-build-properties" to this:

[
  "expo-build-properties",
  {
    "android": {
      "minSdkVersion": 26,
      "compileSdkVersion": 34,
      "targetSdkVersion": 34,
      "buildToolsVersion": "34.0.0",
      "packagingOptions": {
        "pickFirst": ["org/bouncycastle/x509/CertPathReviewerMessages*"]
      }
    },
    "ios": {
      "deploymentTarget": "13.0"
    }
  }
]

I hope this helps you

Do you have JDK 17 installed on the machine?

Just to note that I upgraded yesterday with Expo 49 and it is building ok, all be it with the workaround described here for Android. As you suggested @nazli-stripe my local machine has Java 17 installed.

$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.8.1" 2023-08-24
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17.0.8.1+1 (build 17.0.8.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17.0.8.1+1 (build 17.0.8.1+1, mixed mode)

@nazli-stripe Your question helped me to find the issue. Thanks!

I used JDK 11 to build the app in expo CI/CD, so changing the Android image to the most recent one fixed the issue.

I'm using Expo 50 and @Brunowilliang solution is not working anymore I get this error on Expo build pipeline:

'compileDebugJavaWithJavac' task (current target is 17) and 'compileDebugKotlin' task (current target is 1.8) jvm target compatibility should be set to the same Java version.

  Consider using JVM toolchain: https://kotl.in/gradle/jvm/toolchain
