Issue building app after upgrading from RN 0.68 to 0.70

In the process of upgrading my app from RN v0.68 to RN v0.70 , I ran the npx react-native upgrade command and then start following this guide to finish things up and now my builds start failing after upgrade.
This is the output of my gradlew clean and I get the same error on building app for debug.
FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.

Was upgrading from RN v0.68 to RN v0.70 and had to make some manual code changes for the update , post update the app fails to build. Tried this solution to no avail.

applicationVariants.all {...} in app/build.gradle throws error after enabling new architecture in RN 0.70.1

I am upgrading React Native app from 0.68.2 to 0.70.1 with gradle 7.3.3. The npx react-native upgrade ran successfully. Then I enabled new architecture by following RN doc. However npx react-native run-android throws error about an existing applicationVariants.all {...} in android/app/build.gradle:

React Native vector icons are not shown correctly on Android

I've added Material Design Paper library by their manual.
And Gradle prints a lot of warnings as below:
> Task :app:stripDebugDebugSymbols
Execution optimizations have been disabled for task ':app:stripDebugDebugSymbols' to ensure correctness due to the following reasons:
- Gradle detected a problem with the following location: '/app/android/app/build/intermediates/merged_native_libs/debug/out'. Reason: Task ':app:stripDebugDebugSymbols' uses this output of task ':app:copyDebugReactNativeVectorIconFonts' without declaring an explicit or implicit dependency. This can lead to incorrect results being produced, depending on what order the tasks are executed. Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/validation_problems.html#implicit_dependency for more details about this problem.
If run my app by Android Studio it launches but icons look weirdly (not like here):

Where can the problem be?

I was facing the same problem and solving the issue just putting the line
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
on the file build.gradle under android/app/build.gradle then build again.
And finally, the icons are shown correctly as well.

Finally, I've found a solution. I was needed to copy these fonts into
android/app/src/main/assets/fonts
Although it's still weird for me because I thought this process will be completed automatically on build.

React Native Android: Release build keeps crashing since

I am new to react native--new to app development in general in fact. I am trying to run a release build on Android emulator but the app just keeps crashing.
The debug version runs without any problem, and on iOS the same release build runs perfectly.
Here are what I did:
1.Cleaned the build folder
2.Created index.android.bundle at android/app/src/main/assets
3.Created release APK file
4.Ran on Android simulator, but keeps crashing.
I am lost here. Could someone help out and tell me where I possibly went wrong?

error porting gradle:2.0.0 to gradle-experimental:0.7.0-beta1?

I have an android studio project, and I'm trying to port gradle from the stable version 2.0.0 to the experimental version 0.7.0-beta1:
This is the working code inside my android tag module my 2.0.0 gradle code:
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.test.myapp"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk {
moduleName "myNativeLib"
}
}
sourceSets.main {
jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/libs' //set .so files location to libs
jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build call
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn ndkBuild
}
task runSwig(type: Exec, description: 'Run swig config') {
workingDir 'src/main'
commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'swig.bat'
}
Properties props = new Properties()
props.load(new FileInputStream(file(project.property("KeyStore.properties"))))
signingConfigs {
storeSignature {
storeFile = file(props['KEYSTORE'])
storePassword = props['KEYSTORE_PASSWD']
keyAlias = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP']
keyPassword = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP_PASSWD']
}
}
buildTypes {
def SERVER_URL = "SERVER_URL"
debug {
debuggable true
jniDebuggable true
buildConfigField "String", SERVER_URL, "\"http://testusound.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/androidbackend/checkjson\""
versionNameSuffix getMasterName() + "." + getDate()
}
release {
signingConfig signingConfigs.storeSignature
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
minifyEnabled false
buildConfigField "String", SERVER_URL, "\"http://www.usound.co/androidbackend/checkjson\""
versionNameSuffix getMasterName()
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
Now here is my attempt to rewrite my code for the expermiental pluggin 0.7.0-beta1:
model {
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId "com.test.myapp"
minSdkVersion.apiLevel 15
targetSdkVersion.apiLevel 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
ndk {
moduleName "myNativeLib"
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
compileTask -> compileTask.dependsOn ndkBuild
}
task runSwig(type: Exec, description: 'Run swig config') {
workingDir 'src/main'
commandLine 'cmd', '/c', 'swig.bat'
}
buildConfigFields.with {
create() {
type "String"
name "SERVER_URL"
value "\"http://www.myserver.com/backend/checkjson\""
}
}
buildConfigFields.with {
create() {
type "String"
name "TEST_SERVER_URL"
value "\"http://www.mytestserver.com/backend/checkjson\""
}
}
sources {
main {
jni {
source {
srcDir "src"
}
}
jni.srcDirs = [] //disable automatic ndk-build call
}
}
buildTypes {
debug {
debuggable true
jniDebuggable true
buildConfigField $("android.buildConfigFields.TEST_SERVER_URL")
versionNameSuffix getMasterName() + "." + getDate()
}
release {
signingConfig = $("android.signingConfigs.mySignature")
debuggable false
jniDebuggable false
minifyEnabled false
buildConfigField $("android.buildConfigFields.SERVER_URL")
versionNameSuffix getMasterName()
proguardFiles.add(file('proguard-rules.pro'))
}
}
Properties props = new Properties()
props.load(new FileInputStream(file(project.property("KeyStore.properties"))))
}
android.signingConfigs {
create("mySignature")
storeFile = file(props['KEYSTORE'])
storePassword = props['KEYSTORE_PASSWD']
keyAlias = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP']
keyPassword = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP_PASSWD']
}
}
I'm getting this error error with the signingConfigs:
Error:Attempt to read a write only view of model of type 'java.lang.Object' given to rule 'android.signingConfigs { ... } # app\build.gradle line 165, column 5'
in my code would be this line:
android.signingConfigs {
for my signing configs I'm using a file called keystore.properties located under my main folder (I would like to keep it this way in a separate file so I don't upload my keystore signature data to git, so I haven't put the signing config keys like in the current experimental gradle projects).
What am I missing here? How should I write the signing configs to use properties loaded from a file?
As I'm just getting into experimental gradle feel free to give me some examples or info you believe might be useful.

The stuff after create should be in a set of {}'s
android.signingConfigs {
create("mySignature") { // <-- needed
storeFile = file(props['KEYSTORE'])
storePassword = props['KEYSTORE_PASSWD']
keyAlias = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP']
keyPassword = props['KEYSTORE_MYAPP_PASSWD']
} // <-- needed
}
