React Native Low Version(<0.74.0) Upgrade targetSdkVersion to 34

Posted on Edited on In

1. Make Sure the compileSdkVersion is correct.

Cause if you don’t have the correct version of compileSdkVersion, the Context.RECEIVER_EXPORTED will not found.

build.gradle

buildscript {
  // ...
  ext {
     buildToolsVersion = "***"
     minSdkVersion = ***
     compileSdkVersion = 33
     targetSdkVersion = 34
     ndkVersion = "***"
     googlePlayServicesAuthVersion = "***"
   }
  // ...
}

2. Rewrite the registerReceiver in MainApplication.java

Make sure the registerReceiver is override before the onCreate function.

// ...
  @Override
  public Intent registerReceiver(@Nullable BroadcastReceiver receiver, IntentFilter filter) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 34 && getApplicationInfo().targetSdkVersion >= 34) {
      return super.registerReceiver(receiver, filter, Context.RECEIVER_EXPORTED);
    } else {
      return super.registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
    }
 }

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    // some code here
  }
// ...

3. Clean Project and Rebuild the apk package
