React-native-camera error when compiling android
I tried to upgrade my react native project to the newest version (0.59.2). Unfortunately, now when trying to run react-native run-android im getting this error:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:preDebugBuild'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not resolve project :react-native-camera.
Required by:
project :app
> Cannot choose between the following variants of project :react-native-camera:
- generalDebugRuntimeElements
- mlkitDebugRuntimeElements
All of them match the consumer attributes:
- Variant 'generalDebugRuntimeElements':
- Required com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' and found compatible value 'debug'.
- Found com.android.build.api.attributes.VariantAttr 'generalDebug' but wasn't required.
- Required com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' and found compatible value 'Aar'.
- Required org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' and found compatible value 'java-runtime'.
- Found react-native-camera 'general' but wasn't required.
- Variant 'mlkitDebugRuntimeElements':
- Required com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr 'debug' and found compatible value 'debug'.
- Found com.android.build.api.attributes.VariantAttr 'mlkitDebug' but wasn't required.
- Required com.android.build.gradle.internal.dependency.AndroidTypeAttr 'Aar' and found compatible value 'Aar'.
- Required org.gradle.usage 'java-runtime' and found compatible value 'java-runtime'.
- Found react-native-camera 'mlkit' but wasn't required.
I have already tried to create a new project however this results in the same error. Reinstalling the node modules didn't help either. On iOS it works fine.
Insert the following lines in android/app/build.gradle
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general' <-- insert this line
}
}

Please insert the following line in android/app/build.gradle inside defaultConfig block either
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general'
or
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'mlkit'
Add jitpack to android/build.gradle
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
}
}
It is simple to resolve by adding missingDimensionStrategy attribute in defaultConfig tag in android/app/build.gradle.
android {
...
defaultConfig {
...
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general'
}
}
If you are still having the same issue then you have to do the following steps.
Ensure that your gradle build tool version is greater than 3.3.0. You can use 3.4.1 for this purpose. Change the gradle build tool version from android/build.gradle file buildscript dependencies attributes.
buildscript {
...
dependencies {
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")
}
}
Also have to change the gradle wrapper to 4.4 or later. You can change the gradle version in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to this
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
Finally add the following lines in repositories tag of android/build.gradle
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
Hope this helps.
Step 1:
Change the class path in android/build.gradle in dependencies tag to this:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
Step:2:
Change the gradle version in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to this:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
Step 3:
In the android/app/build.gradle add this at the top:
defaultConfig {
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general'
}
}
Step 4:
Also add these two lines:
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
Camera works now.
