Could not determine the dependencies of null

[theobouwman]

Works perfectly with iOS but on android I cant build anymore, is this a common issue?

    "react-native": "0.70.14",
     "@react-native-documents/picker": "^10.1.0",
    "@react-native-documents/viewer": "^1.0.0",

A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-documents_picker'.
> Could not determine the dependencies of null.
   > Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':react-native-documents_picker:classpath'.
      > Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:null.
        Searched in the following locations:
          - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/null/kotlin-gradle-plugin-null.pom
          - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-gradle-plugin/null/kotlin-gradle-plugin-null.pom
        Required by:
            project :react-native-documents_picker

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Facing same issue when trying to add @react-native-documents/picker and @react-native-documents/viewer

Currently working on react native 0.76.0

I had to specify the kotlinVersion in the build file

[sahilthite]

What is the current kotlinVersion you're using?

Did it worked after changing?

[theobouwman]

kotlinVersion = "1.8.0"
and add it later as well:

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1")
        classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")

        classpath("com.facebook.react:react-native-gradle-plugin")
        classpath("de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:5.0.1")

We faced the same issue, this package trying to read the "kotlinVersion", in our case we named the config as "kotlin_version". Renaming the prop in android/build.gradle did the fix.

[oleksandr-dziuban]

lib should have a default version fallback for kotlinVersion if not specified in root app.

It shouldn't rely just to kotlinVersion definition in app.
