Could not find method uploadArchives() for arguments in build.gradle

Question

I updated the gradle version to the 7.0.4 (com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4)

And now in some of my modules I am solving the problem with maven.

So i replace apply plugin: 'maven' on apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

But I don't understand how to rewrite this section of code correctly:

uploadArchives {
 repositories {
 mavenDeployer {
 repository(url: uri("${rootProject.projectDir}/maven-repo"))
 }
 }
}
uploadArchives.dependsOn sourcesJar

Because when I start, I get the following error:

Could not find method uploadArchives() for arguments [build_ejkqjjnby5fggiavovparsecy$_run_closure5@c0f0c25] on project ':authenticator_sdk' of type org.gradle.api.Project

Answer 1

After I have read the documentation in more detail here and here,

I was able to rewrite my problematic code section as follows:

publishing {
 repositories {
 maven {
 url = uri("${rootProject.projectDir}/maven-repo")
 }
 }
}

• Johhan Santana: where do I add these lines?
• Morozov: @JohhanSantana in yours build.gradle(to the bottom).
• Shafqat Bari: repositories.mavenDeployer { // Deploy to react-native-event-bridge/maven, ready to publish to npm repository url: "file://${projectDir}/../android/maven" configureReactNativePom pom }
• Shafqat Bari: Above is the code how we can modify that and i which line we should do a change. Should we use the 'maven' or 'maven-publish' . Please guide I did't understand
• Krunal Kapadiya: use 'maven-publish' and replace uploadArchives code with above one helped me.

Answer 2

I have got the error when I am bumping some old gradle project on 6.. to 7.4.*. So renaming uploadArchives to publishing helped me. Also I got other error where old code was referring to compile and testCompile but I learned that those need to be chged as "compile" --> "implementation" and "testCompile" --> "testImplementation" under dependencies. After these changes my build is successful. I hope this helps.
