Android build fails on Windows at buildCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a] (react-native-audio-api@0.11.7)

[dhanush-stratforge]

Description :

Using react-native-audio-api@0.11.7 in a bare React Native CLI app on Windows.

After fixing the initial bash issue (downloadPrebuiltBinaries), Android build now fails during native compilation:

Task :react-native-audio-api:buildCMakeDebug FAILED

I also consistently see this warning:

[RNAudioApi] Incompatible version of react-native-audio-worklets detected.

Installed versions

• react-native-audio-api: 0.11.7
• react-native-worklets: 0.7.4

Question

Is react-native-worklets@0.7.4 compatible with react-native-audio-api@0.11.7?

[mdydek]

it was oversight from our side, we updated script responsible for fetching supported versions, but did not included it in a patch. However, it should not affect build at all, do you have any more logs from which reason exactly build is failing?

Thanks for the clarification.

I checked the full Android build log and the failure does not appear to be caused by the react-native-audio-worklets compatibility warning.

I’m pasting the full relevant build output below for reference.

Environment

• OS: Windows
• React Native: 0.83.2
• react-native-audio-api: 0.11.7

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 10.

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

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/9.0.0/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

looks very similar to #784, check it out and lmk if that will work

it’s fixed now. The root cause turned out to be a CMake path issue on Windows (native build path generation), not the warning itself. After addressing the path/build setup, the build is working properly.
