Code on github differs from published code

[saschak42]

Goals

We need the current version of the Android build.gradle file because of build errors. In the published version (npmjs) the build.gradle file for example has no google() repository. In github these changes were already made in version 2.4.2.

Expected Results

We would expect that the published files on npmjs and the code on github don't differ.

Actual Results

For example the build.gradle file differs completely from the one published on npmjs.

Also the directory structure differs. The android folder on github is a subfolder of react-native. On npmjs the android folder is directly in the root (and the ios folder not).

Steps to Reproduce

Compare the files.

Version of Realm and Tooling

• Realm JS SDK Version: Compared different versions of Realm JS like 2.19.0, 2.18.0, 2.14.2, ...

@saschak42 We are running into this exact same issue. Our builds have started failing yesterday due to this error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':realm'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':realm:classpath'.
   > Could not find com.android.tools:common:25.3.3.
     Searched in the following locations:
         https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/common/25.3.3/common-25.3.3.pom
         https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/common/25.3.3/common-25.3.3.jar

and googling around, I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53678786/could-not-find-com-android-toolscommon25-2-3. Given that we can no longer download com.android.tools:common:25.3.3 from jcentral() and need to use google(), it's even more critical that this issue is addressed. Is it possible to bump the Android build tools version to 3.1+ and add google() to the the version of realm published to NPM?

Can someone please look into this? @fealebenpae @bmunkholm @kneth @nirinchev

@saschak42 The build file referenced here: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/react-native/android/build.gradle is not the one we distribute. This is the one we use to build the android release itself. The build file we release is this one: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/react-native/android/publish_android_template, it just gets renamed to build.gradle during the release. I hope that clarifies it?

Hey - looks like you forgot to add a T:* label - could you please add one?

[saschak42]

@cmelchior Thank you for your answer. Yes, that clarifies it. But the problem still exists, because the published gradle file (https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/react-native/android/publish_android_template) is too old. For example the gradle plugin version is outdated and also the google repository is missing. Can you fix that?

[cmelchior]

Yes, we should upgrade those.
