Upgrading target sdk to 29 on React Native 0.59

My current android target sdk on React Native is 28, but Play Store is showing to update it to 29. So I made the following changes in android/build.gradle

buildscript {

    ext {
       googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.0.0"
        firebaseVersion = "17.3.4"
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3" //changed to 29.0.3
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28 //changed to 29
        targetSdkVersion = 28 // changed to 29
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }
}

But now when I run npx react-native run-android I get the following error.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.

Follow the below steps :-

  • Open android/build.gradle in your React Native project.
  • Then increment the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values to 29.

In android/build.gradle

   buildscript {
       ext {
           buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
           minSdkVersion = 16
           compileSdkVersion = 29
           targetSdkVersion = 29
       }
       // ...
   }

   allprojects {
    // ...
   }
  • Then in Android Studio, Run "Sync Project with Gradle Files" (File > Sync Project with Gradle Files).

And you should be all set.
