Most of Android changes for Fabric and bump of FabricExample to RN 0.69.2. iOS and JS changes are available in #1821.
The most notable change on Android is adding methods to components that accept String values of each NumberProp instead of Dynamic. Another change is changed structure of RenderableViewManager.java since we needed to abstract methods that belong only to components inheriting from VirtualView in order to be able to properly override them in their children.
- moved safeExtGet to out of `buildscript` block, because it's no longer needed to be there (previously we needed it there for getting AGP version from root project)
- bumped AGP version to 3.5.3
- replace `${safeExtGet('reactnativeVersion', '+')}` with `+`, becase react-native version automatically resolved by npm and it does not need to handle using `safeExtGet`
Hi, as React native 0.56.0 is released with MAJOR android changes such as:
-Gradle 3.5.1
-Compile using Android SDK 26
-Google Maven repo
-etc
more about Change log, specially of Android Here, https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#android-projects-are-now-compiled-using-the-android-26-sdk
and https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#android-specific-changes
Aslo as Per Google new "Google Play's target API level requirement", mentioned here https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdk
"Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) from August 1, 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from November 1, 2018."
It's clear that Android would be moving to new Gradle and new SDK changes, Thus creating a new type of error that is:
"Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation' or 'Api'"
more about the Old and new configuration please see this https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration?utm_source=android-studio#new_configurations
at the heading of "Use the new dependency configurations"
Therefore, all old "compile" should be now "implementation" or "provided" should be "compileOnly"
I have tested the with "compile" and "implementation" in my current release ready product and also by "renaming" "compile" to "implementation".
Also tested with higher andorid SDK configs such as of below:
```
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 19
compileSdkVersion = 27
targetSdkVersion = 27
supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
}
```
so SDK 27 was also compiled successully. test on Android phone with ADK 23 all looks good. Thus, `react-native-svg` was working just fine as intended. thank you so much for this package btw. Love this package so much :)
Therefore, Please would it be possible to merge as i am sure many new projects and old one are going to update specially Gradle and SDK as of Google new requirements.
related mention of Upgrading issue mention here https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/20273#issuecomment-405959030
Moreover, if someone still have any issue after upgrading everything successfully, then he should use following in build.gradle under `andorid/build.gradle`
```
subprojects {
afterEvaluate {project ->
if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
}
}
}
}
```
