[1.1.9] [Android] OkHttp v4 vs v5

[antoinerousseau]

The new SDK seems to be using OkHttp 5.3.1, while React Native (and other SDKs we use like Stripe Terminal) use OkHttp 4.x

The first consequence is this build failure:

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugJavaResource'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeJavaResWorkAction
   > 2 files found with path 'META-INF/versions/9/OSGI-INF/MANIFEST.MF' from inputs:
      - com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:5.3.1/logging-interceptor-5.3.1.jar
      - org.jspecify:jspecify:1.0.0/jspecify-1.0.0.jar
     Adding a packaging block may help, please refer to
     https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/com/android/build/api/dsl/Packaging
     for more information

And if adding it to pickFirst makes the build succeed, various network requests fail for various reasons, e.g.

StripeTerminal: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lokhttp3/internal/Util;
StripeTerminal: at okhttp3.tls.HandshakeCertificates$Builder.build(HandshakeCertificates.kt:174)
StripeTerminal: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "okhttp3.internal.Util" 

To fix it, I had to add these to android/app/build.gradle (through an Expo plugin since we use Expo) to force the use of OkHttp 4.12:

dependencies {
   implementation(platform("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-bom:4.12.0"))
   implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp")
   implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor")
   implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection")
   implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-tls")

   // ...
}

configurations.all {
   resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
       if (details.requested.group == 'com.squareup.okhttp3') {
           details.useVersion '4.12.0'
       }
   }
}
