expo-android-app-gradle-dependencies

This expo module is used to inject custom dependencies into the android/app/build.gradle file

Installation

npx expo install expo-android-app-gradle-dependencies

Usage

Edit your Expo app's app.json (or its dynamic .js/.ts config) to contain the following block:

:warning: The variables below are only an example (forcing an alpha build of okhttp to include Happy Eyeballs-like fast fallback). You should use whatever dependencies your project needs.

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "../app.plugin.js", 
        {
          "spacing": "    ",
          "dependencies": [
            "com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:5.0.0-alpha.11",
            "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:5.0.0-alpha.11",
            "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:5.0.0-alpha.11"
          ]
        }
      ]
    ]
 }

Any string within the dependencies array will be added as per the example below. The spacing key is used to define your required indentation.

After adding the plugin, run or build your app using expo app services:

npx expo prebuild --clean
