Can't add react-native-skia to project with detox tests. Android.

[limpbrains]

After adding react-native-skia, I'm trying to build app with
npx detox build --configuration android.debug
or
./gradlew assembleDebug assembleAndroidTest -DtestBuildType=debug

And I'm having this error:

> Task :shopify_react-native-skia:mergeDebugAndroidTestJavaResource FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

BUILD FAILED in 4m 39s

"react-native": "0.68.2",
"@shopify/react-native-skia": "0.1.124",

I also tried last one, same error.

You can reproduce this issue with https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet repo.

• install @shopify/react-native-skia
• run npx detox build --configuration android.debug

any solutions ?

[AbijahKaj]

You need to add this to your build.gradle file under the android/app folder:

android{
// some other configurations
// ...

   packagingOptions {
        excludes = [
                "META-INF/**",
        ]
    }
}

If this doesn't solve the issue, you may additionally need to patch the package causing the issue in the node_modules feature by doing the same procedure.
