Android: The SDK Build Tools revision (23.0.1) is too low for project ':react-native-social-share'. Minimum required is 25.0.0

[facuescobar]

I am getting this error because of buildToolsVersion in this line:
https://github.com/doefler/react-native-social-share/blob/master/android/build.gradle#L5

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html

Versions:

"react": "16.0.0-alpha.6",
"react-native": "0.44.0",
"react-native-social-share": "^1.0.0",

after upgrading buildToolsVersion to:

buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'

The error was fixed.

Should you guys update this in your repo?
This file is in node_modules, and everyone who npm install will get this error.

Hey @Fackius

Thank you so much for this.
To be sure do you mean that you want me to change:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
...

into

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
...

In this file
https://github.com/doefler/react-native-social-share/blob/master/android/build.gradle#L5
And that will fix the problem?

@buskerone @minhtule @Tigrakto @angusmccloud @eggybot have you experienced this error?

[facuescobar]

@doefler
thanks for the quick response!

yes, that's the right change.

I've fixed this error updating that line buildToolsVersion '25.0.0' in react-native-social-share/android/build.gradle.

This is how my file looks now:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 2
        versionName "1.1"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }
    lintOptions {
      warning 'InvalidPackage'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
}

@Fackius You are welcome.
Do you think changing this could cause problems for other people, who uses a different version of the frameworks etc.?

[facuescobar]

@doefler
I think I couldn't answer that.
I am using react-native-social-share in a new project, with latest version of react/react-native packages, sdk, etc.

So I think sooner or later you'll have to upgrade your settings to keep your library up to date.

If the developers who use this library has problem with latest settings and versions, then they will need to upgrade their projects :)

Hope that answer your question!

[doefler]

@Fackius
That makes perfect sense.

[facuescobar]

@doefler
let me know any update!

I referenced this issue in react-native-vector-icons because I've found the same issue there:
oblador/react-native-vector-icons#484

[facuescobar]

Hi @doefler

seems that this version issues were caused because something Android Studio did the first time I tried to build Android app.

I re builded the project from scratch in a different branch, without using Android Studio, and the build was successful.

If someone has the same problem, that's answer ^
I think this issue can be closed.

Thanks for your time!
Cheers!

@Fackius
Thank you for the update 👍
So I don't change the file and leave things as is, for now?

[doefler]

@Fackius btw if you want, feel free to connect on Linkedin

[fab-devtag]

In my case, i did not experience any issues with the build tool version yet.

I'll let you guys know if anything happen.

[doefler]

@Tigrakto thanks for trying and getting back to us 👍
Have a nice weekend

Hey guys, I'm facing this error.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
   > A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-social-share'.
      > The SDK Build Tools revision (23.0.1) is too low for project ':react-native-social-share'. Minimum required is 25.0.0

React Native: 0.51.0
React Native Social Share: ^1.3.0

Had to update my buildToolsVersion to 25.0.0 and this is the only error I'm getting now.

Hi @Jpadilla1
I am not sure what could be causing this.
Maybe one of the Android experts here can help you out.
CC @facuescobar

P.S.
Try updating React Native Social Share to 1.4.0

[Jpadilla1]

Tried updating to 1.4.0, same error message.

Edit: fixed it using this oblador/react-native-keychain#68 (comment)

[doefler]

Thanks for sharing the solution @Jpadilla1 😄
Is there anything that could be changed in this repo to avoid the problem or should the solution you linked to be added to the getting started guide?

[Jpadilla1]

No problem! I honestly don't know if this is the best way to fix this and include it in the "getting started" guide. I don't think it's an issue with this library itself.

[doefler]

Ok @Jpadilla1 😄
We will leave it as is for now 👍
If anyone reads this and thinks "Wished this was in the readme", please leave a comment 😆

[angusmccloud]

Does anyone know why this changed? I've been using SocialShare for a while with the setting at 23.0.1, but am now updating SocialShare (trying to get it working on iOS11) and curious why the Android side changed. Just curious if it's actually only going to work on Android 7+, since that's only ~25% of phones...

No need to change in node-module
Just put these lines into project build.gradle make sure its not app build.gradle

subprojects {
        afterEvaluate {project ->
            if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
                android {
                    compileSdkVersion 25
                    buildToolsVersion '25.0.0'
                }
            }
        }
    }

it will force to all the submodules to use the specified compileSdkVersion(25) and buildToolsVersion(25.0.0)
