🚨 Android Build Failed in Expo? You’re Not Alone! 🚨

Just recently, I hit a major roadblock while building a cross-platform fintech application designed to:

πŸ’³ Provide virtual accounts

πŸ’‘ Enable utility bill payments

🏦 Handle seamless bank transfers

But the Android build just wouldn’t work. After hours of digging, rebuilding, and troubleshooting, some critical fixes that solved the problem for good. πŸ”§βœ…

Some takeaways from my experience:

πŸ“Œ Match all dependencies to your current Expo SDK (e.g. 52) - https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/sdk-52/packages/expo/bundledNativeModules.json

πŸ“Œ Remove ^, ~, * from package.json versions

πŸ“Œ Set correct Android SDK versions in gradle.properties

πŸ“Œ Configure the ext block properly in android/build.gradle

πŸ“Œ Use expo.useLegacyPackaging=false (unless needed)

πŸ“Œ Run npm install [email protected] + npx expo install

πŸ“Œ Don’t forget to npx expo prebuild before building native code

πŸ“Œ Clear Gradle caches if weird issues persist

πŸ› οΈ Full breakdown of what worked for me:



This journey reminded me how every failed build is a learning opportunity.

Let's talk about the power of a few Node.js modules: Built-in, encapsulated, and cross-communicating:

Modules are like puzzle pieces 🧩 in Node.js applications. They keep our code organized and our applications scalable. Keep exploring, my fellow developers! πŸ’ͺπŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

* Built-in Modules: Node.js comes with powerful built-in modules like 'fs' and 'http'. πŸ“š These modules are like the Swiss Army knives of web development.

* Module Encapsulation: Modules in Node.js are like little black boxes πŸ“¦ with their own private spaces. They encapsulate code and data, providing clean separation and reducing conflicts.

* Cross-Module Communication: Modules don't live in isolation; they chat! πŸ—£οΈ Node.js allows seamless communication between modules using techniques like event emitters. This fosters collaboration in your codebase.

πŸ”’ Exploring the Power of Access Modifiers in Object-Oriented Programming!πŸ’‘

Ever wondered how developers control the visibility and accessibility of their code? πŸ€” That's where access modifiers step in! πŸ›‘οΈ In the world of Object-Oriented Programming, these modifiers are like the gatekeepers, determining who gets to access certain parts of the code.

πŸ”‘ Let's dive into the world of access modifiers:

* Public: 🌐 Everyone's invited! This modifier allows code to be accessed from anywhere.

* Private: πŸ” Keep it behind closed doors! This modifier restricts access to within the class itself.

* Protected: πŸ›‘οΈ A guarded entry! This modifier lets derived classes access the code.

* Internal: 🏒 Restricted within the same assembly! This modifier is handy for organized code sharing.

Understanding these access modifiers is essential for crafting secure, organized, and efficient code.

Whether you're a budding developer or a seasoned pro, mastering access modifiers is a must for building robust software systems. πŸ’»πŸš€

Streamlined State Management for Your Apps! 🌟

Master the art of managing state seamlessly using React Redux From basic store setup, let's dive into the heart of efficient state management. 🎯

⚑ Key Takeaways:

* 'mapStateToProps', mapping specific state properties to component props for streamlined data access.

* 'mapDispatchToProps', linking action creators to component props for efficient action dispatch.

* Witness how 'mapStateToProps' empowers components to access Redux state directly through props.

* 'mapDispatchToProps', making action dispatching a breeze.

* Be empowered by React Redux's synergy, transforming components into efficient state managers. πŸš€πŸ”§
