error: cannot find symbol import com.facebook.react.modules.network.CookieJarContainer;

This all started with the rn-fetch-blob. The error hasnt occured in the previous version of react-native fetch-blob i was using. The solutions available aint helping at all. The Update build.gradle # 623 removes few of the errors. This is the error that shows up when i run react-native run-android `> Task :rn-fetch-blob:compileDebugJavaWithJavac C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:25: error: cannot find symbol import com.facebook.react.modules.network.CookieJarContainer; ^ symbol: class CookieJarContainer location: package com.facebook.react.modules.network C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:28: error: cannot find symbol import okhttp3.JavaNetCookieJar; ^ symbol: class JavaNetCookieJar location: package okhttp3 C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:56: error: incompatible types: com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient cannot be converted to okhttp3.OkHttpClient mClient = OkHttpClientProvider.getOkHttpClient(); ^ C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:58: error: cannot find symbol CookieJarContainer mCookieJarContainer = (CookieJarContainer) mClient.cookieJar(); ^ symbol: class CookieJarContainer location: class RNFetchBlob C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:58: error: cannot find symbol CookieJarContainer mCookieJarContainer = (CookieJarContainer) mClient.cookieJar(); ^ symbol: class CookieJarContainer location: class RNFetchBlob C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:59: error: cannot find symbol mCookieJarContainer.setCookieJar(new JavaNetCookieJar(mCookieHandler)); ^ symbol: class JavaNetCookieJar location: class RNFetchBlob C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:62: error: <anonymous com.RNFetchBlob.RNFetchBlob$1> is not abstract and does not override abstract method onActivityResult(int,int,Intent) in ActivityEventListener reactContext.addActivityEventListener(new ActivityEventListener() { ^ C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:63: error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype @Override ^ C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlob.java:72: error: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype @Override ^ Note: C:\Users\LUTAAYA BRIAN IVAN\BrianExternal\PaX\node_modules\rn-fetch-blob\android\src\main\java\com\RNFetchBlob\RNFetchBlobUtils.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

I’ve fixed the build issue with help of the following tips: https://github.com/wkh237/react-native-fetch-blob/issues/481

Workaround

change imports okhttp3 and okio and use of new okhttp3. to new expolib_v1.okhttp3

import expolib_v1.okhttp3.MediaType;
import expolib_v1.okio.BufferedSink;

I know it’s just a workaround. Do you have any idea how to fix it for the future?
