react-native run-android error "Task :app:javaPreCompileDebug FAILED"

EDIT: This issue was solved by forcing the gradle not to jetify my native library. This is done by adding in gradle.properties
android.jetifier.blacklist = your-causing-issues-library
For more details you can read the official docs or this post
I need to use some native code in a react native project. The native code is provided in a .jar file by the hardware manufacturer. In a clean project (react-native init), with this .jar file inside /android/app/libs folder, this error shows as soon as I try to run "react native run-android".
==============
Error is as follow:
Task :app:javaPreCompileDebug FAILED
6 actionable tasks: 6 executed
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:javaPreCompileDebug'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration
':app:debugCompileClasspath'.
Failed to transform file 'iMagPayV5.1.4.jar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-classes, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime-jars}

Failed to transform '/home/buonapasta/Desktop/React-Native/samples/project/android/app/libs/iMagPayV5.1.4.jar' using Jetifier. Reason: 10. (Run with --stacktrace for more details.)
==============
Help is appreciated in advance!!
(Sorry if some information is incomplete).
React Native version 0.60.4 running on Ubuntu 18.04.
I've tried to include some other .jar files in a clean project without inconvenience, but as soon as I include this particular .jar everything blows.
Also, this library is working on an Android Studio project.
The .jar can be found on
https://github.com/GPaoloni/imagpay-framework
android/app/build.gradle looks like this:
...
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
if (enableHermes) {
def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermesvm/android/";
debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
} else {
implementation jscFlavor
}
}
// Run this once to be able to run the application with BUCK
// puts all compile dependencies into folder libs for BUCK to use
task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {
from configurations.compile
into 'libs'
}
android/build.gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
minSdkVersion = 16
compileSdkVersion = 28
targetSdkVersion = 28
supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
}
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1")
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
}
maven {
// Android JSC is installed from npm
url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
}
google()
jcenter()
}
}
I just want being able to include the .jar library (to be used by a native activity).
==============
Update:
I've tried doing like sugested:
npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify
But the error still the same.
Reading the npm page of jetifier, in the "Usage for jar/zip/aar files" section:
npm install jetifier
npx jetifier-standalone <your arguments here>
Runing this gives me the following error:

Try executing these line by line.
1. yarn
2. yarn start
On a new terminal tab
1. react-native run-android
Check whether 'jetifier' running output is displayed on the terminal.
Something similar to this.
"Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag."
If not run these before executing 'react-native run-android'
1. npm install --save-dev jetifier
2. npx jetify

I am using VS Code and installed prettier and format on-save. For some reason, when I saved page, he formatted wrong and I had this error, when discarded changes, it started working well, u can try this, as prevention.

Can not publish Java project to Maven via BinTray with Gradle

I have a simple project I'm trying to publish to Maven via BinTray, but have been getting an error.
I have followed a guide to publish to bintray, and appear to have BinTray all set up, as well as access to Sonatype. Signing/etc, all appears to be good.
When I run "./gradlew bintrayUpload" I get an error, but the artifacts do show up on bintray. However I get various POM errors.

After publishing I get the error, however in BinTray it registers the upload. When I click add to JCenter however I get another error "- Add a POM file to the latest version of your package."

Instead of using the 3rd party script and out of date plugin, I followed the guide
here https://github.com/bintray/gradle-bintray-plugin
This generated a proper pom file and published to bintray and made my package compatible with jcenter.
For a working build.gradle, you can look at my github for the working version.

Is it mandatory to define the java plugin to download the depdendency in gradle script?

I am writing the gradle script where I need to download the multiple jar files from artifactory I am using the apply plugin 'java' in gradle script and able to fetch those jar files from artifactory easily but if I apply this plugin it run the jar task automatically and creates the jar which I don't want.Is there a way to download the jar files from artifactory with/without using the java plugin so that jar task couldn't trigger.
apply plugin 'java'
apply plugin: 'base'
//-- set the group for publishing
group = 'com.abcdef.covery'
/**
* Initializing GAVC settings
*/
def buildProperties = new Properties()
file("version.properties").withInputStream {
stream -> buildProperties.load(stream)
}
//add the jenkins build version to the version
def env = System.getenv()
if (env["BUILD_NUMBER"]) buildProperties.coveryadBuildVersion += "_${env["BUILD_NUMBER"]}"
version = buildProperties.scoveryadBuildVersion
println "${version}"
//name is set in the settings.gradle file
group = "com.abcdef.discovery"
version = buildProperties.coveryadBuildVersion
println "Building ${project.group}:${project.name}"
repositories {
maven {

You do not need to add the java plugin to download dependencies. If you do not have any java source files I would recommend that you use the baseplugin instead:
apply plugin: 'base'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
configurations {
nameOfMyConfiguration
}
dependencies {
nameOfMyConfiguration 'org.scala-lang:scala-library:2.10.4'
}
task zipMyStuff(type: Zip) {
from configurations.nameOfMyConfiguration
}

This is the first time I am trying Gradle. I am able to build as well as generate WAR but PMD is failing me. Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance :)

I know that You've already found the answer but FYI I'm adding solution to the problem.
Basically You have non standard project structure. First of all, web content should be placed under src/main/webapp (sources under src/main/java and so on). Secondly You should not put diagnostics tools (pmd) under WEB-INF/lib. There's no need to have this jars deployed along with the whole application to the application server.
There was also no declaration of maven repo, so the dependencies could not be resolved (commons-io, asm, jaxen, etc.) and the were missing dependencies under pmd classpath (commons-io, etc.) - note the pmd scope in dependencies block.
Here you can find two projects - with standard and non-standard project layout. Both are configured correctly.

At last found the issue. I needed to resolve pmd and all it's transitive dependencies from a remote repo like Maven Central.
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
pmd {
toolVersion = "5.1.1"
ignoreFailures = true
}

Cucumber app with gradle runs fine locally but fails on Jenkins

When i run my cucumber based project it behaves as though it cannot find the Steps classes - I can tell because the log on Jenkins is offering code snippets for implementation.
I'm using Gradle and I know there are issues with cucumber-jvm.
The relevant part of the build file:
task cucumber(type: JavaExec) {
dependsOn assemble, compileTestJava
main = "cucumber.api.cli.Main"
classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
args = ['-f', 'pretty', '--glue', 'steps', 'src/test/resources']
systemProperties = System.getProperties()
}
I can't see why running the same command (./gradlew clean cucumber) via Jenkins fails?
Here's the output from Jenkins:
+ ./gradlew -Dapk=/Users/rakesh/workspace1/AcmeApp_4_10_Tiles/bin/AcmeApp_4_10_Tiles.apk clean cucumber
:clean
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:jar
:assemble
:compileTestJava

You can implement missing steps with the snippets below:

I would also like to mention that sometimes this problem occurs,if there are dependencies missing in build.gradle.
In my case,the following statement was missing in main task in build.gradle..
dependsOn assemble, compileTestJava
Adding this,resolved the issue.

I solved the problem and it had nothing to do with cucumber, gradle or Jenkins! I had renamed the steps classes (case change) which completely confused subversion and the java step classes were actually missing!!
