Fix: React Native App error: "Task :app:processDebugMainManifest FAILED" with jdk17-CodePudding

I had problems setting up the updated environment for app development with RN.

openjdk version "17.0.1" / node 16

If you're having the same problem, here's how to solve it:

Error Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'.

CodePudding user response：

For java 16 or 17, just add line in /android/gradle.properties

CodePudding user response：

it took me a while to get to this direct answer, everything from react-native is hard to find.

I'm use jdk16, and just add line in /android/gradle.properties works!

React Native and Gradle Version supported by the latest version of React Native does not support JDK below 11 and above 11.

You need go to Android Studio and download the Temurin/OpenJDK 11 or Azul 11 depending upon your system arch (if you are on the new M1 Mac you will need to download the aarch version).

clean and rebuilding should work after that.
