Unable to build on Android with RN 0.45.1: AAPT: Error retrieving parent for item:

See original GitHub issue

On android with react native 0.45.1 this library can’t be build and throws the following errors:

./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml:3: AAPT: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.

./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml:4: AAPT: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.

./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml:3: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.

./android/app/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v24/values-v24.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.

Steps to reproduce:

react-native init test --version react-native@0.45.1
cd test
yarn add react-native-background-upload
react-native link
cd android && ./gradlew assembleDebug

With react-native 0.42 this is not an issue.

Some hints about it: i am not that familiar with android native but from some people i’ve heard that it can have do something with buildToolsVersion.

I´ve resolved changing my build.gradle inside android/build.gradle :

old: android: { compileSdkVersion 23 buildToolsVersion “23.0.1” … }

dependencies: { compile “com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1” … }

to android: { compileSdkVersion 24 buildToolsVersion “24.0.1” … }

dependencies: { compile “com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.1” … }

The readme mentions this in the Manual Native Library Linking section, which you probably skip if you do automatic linking.
