How Can I Resolve the 'compileSdkVersion is not specified' Error in My Firebase Native Project?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I encountered the following Gradle error when attempting to run my native project:

BUILD FAILED in 3s
error Failed to install the app. Command failed with exit code 1: gradlew.bat app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project 'EMTS'. > compileSdkVersion is not specified. Please add it to build.gradle
Try: > Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. > Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. > Run with --scan to get full insights. > Get more help at https://help.gradle.org. BUILD FAILED in 3s.
info Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.

I added the Firebase google-services.json file, and everything seemed correct. However, the error persists. It appears that the issue is due to a missing compileSdkVersion in my build.gradle file. I've reviewed various recommendations, but haven't been able to resolve the configuration error.

Any guidance on how to properly configure the compileSdkVersion (and related settings) in my build.gradle file to successfully build the project would be greatly appreciated.

The error "compileSdkVersion is not specified" is not directly related to your Firebase google-services.json file. Instead, it indicates that your Gradle configuration is missing a required setting in your build.gradle file.

To resolve this, open your app-level build.gradle (typically located at android/app/build.gradle) and make sure you have an android block that specifies a valid compileSdkVersion. For example:

GRADLE
android {
    compileSdkVersion 33
    buildToolsVersion "33.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.yourapp"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 33
        // Other config options…
    }

    // Other build settings…
}

Replace the SDK version numbers with those supported by your project. After adding the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion, save the file and re-run your build.

This should solve the configuration error and allow your app to install correctly.

you need to add compileSdkVersion in your android -> build.gradle

GROOVY
  buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 34  //this needs to be addeed
        targetSdkVersion = 34
        ndkVersion = "25.1.8937393"
        kotlinVersion = "1.8.0"
    }

As mentioned in your error log, you need to add compileSdkVersion in your app/build.gradle file. Do something like

GROOVY
ext {
    compileSdkVersion = 33 // this can change based on your react native version
}
