I have following issue:

Upgrading to @sentry/react-native version 1.0.8 results in a compilation error:

> Task :@sentry_react-native:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 6.0.

Same here. Used to build up to 1.0.7. A little more log for debug:

Same is happening here. Looks like String is being cast to type without being converted

Sorry, all - we're aware of this and are working on a fix.

[lobsterkatie]

Thanks for @Titozzz for the fix, which we've merged, and released as 1.0.9.

[acollazomayer]

I have the same problem with version 1.0.9

[lobsterkatie]

@acollazomayer - same exact error message? Can you please post whatever output you're seeing if it's different from the OP's?

I have the same problem with version 1.0.9

Try using Jetify after using the Android Studio migration tool.
Make sure your app is AndroidX
npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify

Also, @acollazomayer - please try updating the the latest @sentry/react-native (1.3.3 as of this writing) - we moved our android dependency from sentry-java to the new sentry-android SDK, which should hopefully eliminate any number of previous problems.
