Sorry I just saw that some parts were't fully written out. Let me know if you need further information.

👋 happy to help but unfortunately I'm not really familliar with Kotlin, I'm asking a colleague to take a look 🙂

👋 Hi there! Do you still have this issue even without the Stripe dependency?

#

Also, is there any way you can upgrade compose? For example, the compose compiler 1.3.2 is from October 2022: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-compiler#1.3.2

Hi Arran,

I haven't tested without the Stripe dependency yet. The build error specifically occurs at the :stripe_stripe-react-native:compileDebugKotlin task, so it appears isolated to Stripe SDK. All other native modules (Expo Location, Camera, Notifications, Firebase, etc.) compile successfully with Kotlin 1.9.25.

I'm using Expo SDK 52 with expo-build-properties plugin to manage native dependencies. My app.config.js sets:

expo-build-properties: {
android: { kotlinVersion: "1.9.25" }
}

The Compose Compiler 1.3.2 appears to be bundled within stripe-react-native 0.54.1 itself. I don't see a way to override it via expo-build-properties.

Can I add a composeCompilerVersion override to expo-build-properties? Or does stripe-react-native need to update its bundled Compose Compiler to support Kotlin 1.9.x?

Got it, thanks for that extra info!

#

I do see others having similar issues here, so it doesn't look like we have a clear solution at the moment: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/issues/1937

#

yes I saw the same thread already.

There seems to be no official solution and I'm quite frankly a bit lost. The mentioned workarounds do seem to work for other people but there is no definitive production ready solution.

#

I believe that the problem lays on stripe's side as it's composer is quite outdated

#

Yeah, agreed that it seems odd. Though I'm not finding explicit references to that compiler version throughout our codebase

#

I do see references to different Compose Compiler behaviour when upgrading to Kotlin 2.x, both in your version of stripe-react-native (0.54.1) and newer versions: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/blob/v0.54.1/android/build.gradle

#

I do also see at least one person in that thread who resolved things with Kotlin 2.x: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native/issues/1937#issuecomment-2930330489

#

Would a Kotlin upgrade be possible for you?

Thanks!

I'll try and will let you know.
