Build fails because of kotlin_version

[raminafandi]

When I am building an android apk, build fails with this exception:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where:
  Build file '/opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build/node_modules/react-native-camera-kit/android/build.gradle' line: 23
• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-camera-kit'.

Could not get unknown property 'kotlin_version' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Version:
"react-native": "0.70.6",

I believe you need to define kotlin_version within your android/build.gradle. For example -

buildscript {
  ext {
        ...
        kotlin_version = '1.5.10'
 }

You need to follow this to complete the setup for Android: https://github.com/teslamotors/react-native-camera-kit/blob/master/docs/kotlin.md.

My setup is using React Native 0.71 which comes with Kotlin enabled.

To resolve the error message reported, I added the following in android/build.gradle

kotlinVersion = '1.7.10' // camelCase, this is the existing variable name
kotlin_version = '1.7.10' // react-native-camera-kit looks for this snake_case variable name
