React Native Step Counter New Issue

Expected Behavior

• I am trying to build with this library.

Actual Behavior

• I am getting the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':dongminyu_react-native-step-counter:compileDebugKotlin'.
> A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. npx create-expo-app my-app --template tabs@50
2. npx expo install @dongminyu/react-native-step-counter
3. eas init
4. Create eas.json:

{
  "build": {
    "development": {
      "developmentClient": true,
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "preview": {
      "distribution": "internal"
    },
    "production": {}
  }
}

5. app.json:

{
  "expo": {
    "android": {
      "permissions": [
        "android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION",
        "android.permission.BODY_SENSORS_BACKGROUND"
      ],
    },
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "android": {
            "newArchEnabled": true,
          }
        }
      ]
    ],
  }
}

6. eas build -e development -p android

Specifications

first, you should check your react-native-step-counter version and write it down.

• @dongminyu/react-native-step-counter version: 0.2.5

second, you should check your react-native version and write it down. you should use this command. npx react-native info
and then, it would be better if you paste the output of this command.

Thank you for your interest and first issue. I don't know much about the Expo ecosystem, and I haven't used it recently, so I can't say for sure, but it seems like it would be pretty hard to use React Native's new architecture (Turbo Modules and Fabric Components) in an Expo-managed workflow app. You can consider the following approaches to resolve the issue:

• Transition to Expo Bare Workflow: Only limited native modules are available in the Expo Managed workflow, so you can switch to the Expo Bare workflow to give you access to native code and libraries.

• Creating a pure React Native project: How to create a pure React Native project using the npx react-native init command, without using Expo, to include the @dongminyu/react-native-step-counter library.

[aykutmehmetd]

I didn't use new architecture, so i can't say for sure about how can be hard to use the new architecture in Expo workflow.

1. Transition to Expo Bare Workflow: I'm already trying to do this. If I build the app, I will already be in bare workflow.
2. Creating a pure React Native project: Maybe i can try this but eventually i need to use Expo in production.

Ok then, I'll keep trying to find an solution. If i do, I'll let you know.

I got same error without expo and new architecture, but before this error i got this:

FAILURE: Build completed with 2 failures.

1: Task failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':dongminyu_react-native-step-counter:compileDebugKotlin'.

A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.compilerRunner.GradleCompilerRunnerWithWorkers$GradleKotlinCompilerWorkAction`

Original error looks like "StepCounterModule.kt: (38, 26): Property getter or setter expected"
Im not good at kotlin, but looks like kotlin version error, but i tried change 1.6.0-1.7.0-1.8.0, but still got error...

Maybe it will help with issue

[nppull]

same problem

android 
buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 34
targetSdkVersion = 34
kotlinVersion = "1.9.0"

react-native: 0.73.5
@dongminyu/react-native-step-counter: 0.2.5

[AndrewDongminYoo]

I thought it was simply an issue with trying to use this module in expo, but it looks like there's something wrong with the kotlin area. I'll try a few more things to reproduce and resolve this issue and let you know what I find.

[sonirudra]

same here, in Bare workflow.

Newest react native using kotlin '1.9.23', can you upgrade this library kotlin version? Maybe this will resolve the issue

I got the same error. I upgraded React Native from 0.72 to 0.74 in the Expo Bare Workflow. It was actually stable in React Native 0.72, but when I upgraded, an error appeared:

Compilation error. See log for more details

I've successfully run the library on Expo Bare Workflow (React Native 0.74) with the following modifications:

Changes Made:

1. Edited the gradle.properties file
   Path: node_modules/@dongminyu/react-native-step-counter/android/build.gradle
   Updated the following lines:
   StepCounter_compileSdkVersion=34
StepCounter_kotlinVersion=1.9.23
StepCounter_targetSdkVersion=34
StepCounter_minSdkVersion=24
StepCounter_ndkversion=26.1.10909125

2. Edited the sensorManager variable
   Path: node_modules/@dongminyu/react-native-step-counter/android/src/main/java/com/stepcounter/StepCounterModule.kt
   Changed this line:
   private val lateinit sensorManager: SensorManager
   to:
   private var sensorManager: SensorManager

3. Update the minSdkVersion in android/build.gradle to 24.

4. Then yarn android
