React Native Youtube androidx.annotation.Nullable errors

Question

I'm building a project on React Native 0.59.1 but when I add react native youtube I get the following errors when I run react-native run-android

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Put

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

to your gradle.properties.

Then install jetify:

yarn add jetifier --dev
npx jetify

Then add jetify to your postinstall-Script on package.json:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "postinstall": "jetify"
  ...
}

If you still have entries @ postinstall, only add them with && at the end. Example if you still would have patch-package in Postinstall: „patch-package && jetify“

At least, run yarn install to do the trick.

If you have trouble with jetify, you can undo changes in your node_modules-Package with jetify -r

You must migrate to anroidx as the error log says. Try this.

android/gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

What if I don't want to migrate to androidx

hong developer Over a year ago

@EdisonBiba In the React-native 0.59 version, Android X is a must. If you don't want to use it, you should lower the React-native version.

Have you heard about jetifier and using it with -r option? I think that can be used
