Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0

Question

I\'ve got a gradle FAILURE:

...\"Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0.\"

Case descrip

Answer 1

I was getting this error. Turns out it only happened when I completely cleaned the RN caches (quite elaborate process) and then created a release build.

If I cleaned the caches, created a debug build and then a release build, everything worked. Bit worrying but works.

Note: My clean command is...

rm -r android/build ; rm -r android/app/src/release/res ; rm -r android/app/build/intermediates ; watchman watch-del-all ; rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-* ; npm start -- --reset-cache
