Issue with react-native-hms-location in React Native 0.77.0

[teracityyazilim]

I am experiencing an issue when building my React Native application using @hmscore/react-native-hms-location (6.12.0-302). The build process fails with the following error:

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':react-native-hms-location:packageDebugResources' (type 'MergeResources').

• Gradle detected a problem with the following location: 'D:\Litera\Yedek\BilimpMobilV4\node_modules@hmscore\react-native-hms-location\android\build\generated\res\resValues\debug'.

  Reason: Task ':react-native-hms-location:packageDebugResources' uses this output of task ':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed.

  Possible solutions:

  1. Declare task ':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues' as an input of ':react-native-hms-location:packageDebugResources'.

  2. Declare an explicit dependency on ':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-hms-location:packageDebugResources' using Task#dependsOn.

  3. Declare an explicit dependency on ':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues' from ':react-native-hms-location:packageDebugResources' using Task#mustRunAfter.

  React: 18.3.1
  React Native: 0.77.0
  HMS Location SDK: @hmscore/react-native-hms-location 6.12.0-302
  Build Tools Version: 35.0.0
  minSdkVersion: 24
  compileSdkVersion: 35
  targetSdkVersion: 34
  ndkVersion: 27.1.12297006
  kotlinVersion: 2.0.21

It appears that the packageDebugResources task is missing a dependency declaration on generateDebugResValues, which is causing a build issue due to task execution order.

I wrote the problem on Huawei forums and it was solved. I tried both solutions below separately. Both are working.
I added it as a bug and solution for those who have the same problem.

We will recommend that you try the steps below regarding the error you are encountering.

1. First, modify your android/app/build.gradle with the following changes:

android {
// Existing configurations...

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
    if (task.name == 'packageDebugResources') {
        task.dependsOn(':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues')
    }
}

}

dependencies {
// Existing dependencies...
implementation project(':@hmscore_react-native-hms-location')
}

2. If the above solution doesn't work, try modifying your

include ':@hmscore_react-native-hms-location'
project(':@hmscore_react-native-hms-location').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@hmscore/react-native-hms-location/android')

gradle.beforeProject { project ->
if (project.name == 'react-native-hms-location') {
project.tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name == 'packageDebugResources') {
task.dependsOn(':hmscore_react-native-hms-location:generateDebugResValues')
}
}
}
}

3. Clean your project and rebuild:
   cd android

./gradlew clean

4. Additional checks:

   Verify that your android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties is using a compatible Gradle version (7.5.1 or higher recommended for your setup)
   Ensure your android/build.gradle includes the HMS Maven repository:

buildscript {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }
}
}

Have a nice day.
