Error run android with NDK 30 (react native 0.85.3)

[markendy]

If the project uses NDK 30+, the following error appears when launching Android:

build.gradle:
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "36.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 26
compileSdkVersion = 36
targetSdkVersion = 36
ndkVersion = "30.0.14904198"
kotlinVersion = "2.1.20"
}

Error:

Potencial fix:
/node_modules/react-native-animateable-text/cpp/react/renderer/components/JBAnimatedText/ParagraphProps.cpp

Replace:
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical !=
oldProps->paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical) {
result["textAlignVertical"] =
paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.has_value()
? toString(paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.value())
: nullptr;
}

To:
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical != oldProps->paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical) {
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.has_value()) {
result["textAlignVertical"] = toString(paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.value());
} else {
result["textAlignVertical"] = nullptr;
}
}

[mzaien]

if you exusce me, why do you use ndk 30+?
I'm using the library on a expo app with sdk 56 and it uses ndk 27 and it works fine @markendy ?

[markendy]

@mzaien I work on a team, another developer changed this and said it's needed for the new version of RN and libraries. He updated over 50 libraries, and apparently one of them needs this.

[mzaien]

Hello @markendy can you try the same branch ? I pushed a potential fix following react/react-native#55265

[markendy]

@mzaien

Unfortunately, I can't test this solution. This quick fix helped me, but I'm not sure I wrote it correctly and without consequences. I hope you can give me some advice on this matter

/node_modules/react-native-animateable-text/cpp/react/renderer/components/JBAnimatedText/ParagraphProps.cpp

Replace:
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical !=
oldProps->paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical) {
result["textAlignVertical"] =
paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.has_value()
? toString(paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.value())
: nullptr;
}

To:
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical != oldProps->paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical) {
if (paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.has_value()) {
result["textAlignVertical"] = toString(paragraphAttributes.textAlignVertical.value());
} else {
result["textAlignVertical"] = nullptr;
}
}

[mzaien]

Hello @markendy I asked my llm about the issue and if your solution can fix it, (using @mrousavy margelo cpp skill)
and it guided me to react/react-native#55265 where meta team changed
can you try patch the libarary with this fix?

nullptr

folly::dynamic(nullptr);

[markendy]

@mzaien ah, I can just try manually changing one to the other, I need some time to get back to this, I'll write about the results today

[markendy]

@mzaien I tried to build an Android with this, and it seemed to work, but I'm not sure if some cache affected it.
