🐛 Build error in version 0.7.2 with react-native 0.74.4 and kotlin 1.9

[Regina-v]

What's happening?

After upgrading react-native-quick-crypto to 0.7.2 I was not able to build my app anyomore in android. My app uses react-native 0.74.4.

The build failed with:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'myApp'.
> Could not determine the dependencies of null.
   > Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
      > Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:.
        Required by:
            project :

When I add the kotlin version explicitely in the android/build.gradle like so:

classpath("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlinVersion")

I get tons of errors like

e: /path/to/my-app/node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/facebook/react/utils/TaskUtils.kt: (27, 12): Class 'kotlin.collections.ArraysKt___ArraysKt' was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1.
The class is loaded from /path/to/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-8.6-all/3mbtmo166bl6vumsh5k2lkq5h/gradle-8.6/lib/kotlin-stdlib-1.9.20.jar!/kotlin/collections/ArraysKt___ArraysKt.class

I was confused about who is expecting kotlin 1.7 in my app since I'm using react-native 0.74.4 and react-native itself upgraded to kotlin 1.9 in RN 0.74. I found out that react-native-quick-crypto brings react-native 0.72.7 into my app which uses kotlin 1.7, which is then picked up and brings the build errors.

Downgrading react-native-quick-crypto to 0.7.1 solves the issue for me since react-native 0.72.7 was only added as a dependency in 0.7.2.

I created a repo to the issue
https://github.com/Ahmedhamed77/rn-upgrade-quick-crypto
the repo has the latest version of react-native 0.74.5
in android folder try ./gradlew clean
the error will be the same as in the issue

@Thinhnguyen185 if you want a quick fix, you can fork the lib and then upgrade the react-native to 74 that's how I use it now

I was able to build this in Android Studio with no issues.

However, I'm merging #399 and moving react and react-native out of dependencies and into devDependencies and peerDependencies so please try again with 0.7.3

[boorad]

Hoping 0.7.3 release solved this. If not, reopen.

Thank you @boorad for the fix! It works for me now with 0.7.3.
