Can't build apk in react native-CodePudding

I have a task to build apk applications with react native, I watched this video to understand how to do it and took the same code https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tgcogEoIiQ&t=590s

https://github.com/mahdi-sharifimehr/RN-Tutorial-Main/tree/RN-Tutorial-35 I got such an error:

> Task :app:processDebugManifest FAILED

found a solution on the Internet and changed minSdkVersion in build.gradle to 23, but now I get such an error:

please tell me what's wrong and why I can't easily build the apk, here are my actions in main directory npm install cd android chmod x ./gradlew ./gradlew assembleDebug

Gradle version Gradle 7.4.2

I don’t understand why it doesn’t want to build, in theory I should have got apk

CodePudding user response：

" uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 21 declared in library "

Looks like your minSdkVersion isn't compatible with your facebook library you're using. What kind of React Native project are you using?

If it's expo managed you'll need this: https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/build-properties/

If it's a non-expo project, you can easily go into the Android files on your own. This link will help you: How to specify the minSdkVersion in react native project

It's likely that you just need to change the 16 to a 21 and it'll build.
