Supported mapbox libraries

We're only supporting mapbox 10.16* and 11.. The default is 10.16. Next release will be 11.* only so we recommend updatign to 11.*

Adding mapbox maven repo

You will need to authorize your download of the Maps SDK via a secret access token with the DOWNLOADS:READ scope.
This guide explains how to Configure credentials and Configure your secret token.

Then under section allprojects/repositories add your data:

// android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // ...other repos
        maven {
            url 'https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven'
            authentication {
                basic(BasicAuthentication)
            }
            credentials {
                // Do not change the username below.
                // This should always be `mapbox` (not your username).
                username = 'mapbox'
                // Use the secret token you stored in gradle.properties as the password
                password = project.properties['MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN'] ?: ""
            }
        }
        // ...even more repos?
    }
}

Using non default mapbox version

Warning: If you set a custom version, make sure you revisit, any time you update @rnmapbox/maps. Setting it to earlier version than what we exepect will likely result in a build error.

Set RNMapboxMapsVersion in android/build.gradle > buildscript > ext section

buildscript {
    ext {
        RNMapboxMapsVersion = '11.1.0'
    }
}

you can also customize all the libraries, should it be neccesary

buildscript {
    ext {
        // ...
        RNMapboxMapsLibs = { // optional - only required if you want to customize it
            implementation 'com.mapbox.maps:android:10.6.0'
            implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-sdk-turf:5.4.1'
        }
    }
}

Using v11

buildscript {
    ext {
        RNMapboxMapsVersion = '11.0.0'
    }
}

Troubleshooting

If you see 2 files found with path 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' from inputs issue see possible workaround.

Workaround for 2 files found with path 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' from inputs

code android/app/build.gradle

add the following

android {
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
    }
}
