[Tarantula471]

Hey,

I just installed the package and tried to build my react native project , so it's throwing this error

`> Configure project :react-native-reanimated
Android gradle plugin: 8.8.2
Gradle: 8.13

Task :react-native-keyboard-controller:processDebugManifest
package="com.reactnativekeyboardcontroller" found in source AndroidManifest.xml: C:\Users\Tushar\Documents\cheri\node_modules\react-native-keyboard-controller\android\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml.
Setting the namespace via the package attribute in the source AndroidManifest.xml is no longer supported, and the value is ignored.
Recommendation: remove package="com.reactnativekeyboardcontroller" from the source AndroidManifest.xml: C:\Users\Tushar\Documents\cheri\node_modules\react-native-keyboard-controller\android\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml.

@Tarantula471 your problem and solution for this is described in https://kirillzyusko.github.io/react-native-keyboard-controller/docs/next/troubleshooting#filename-longer-than-260-characters

I'm going to close the issue, but feel free to post comments if you encounter any other issues 🙏

[Tarantula471]

As suggested by @kirillzyusko the solution is perfectly fine, just had to make a tweak in the step while adding script in

android.defaultConfig

import for import

org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.Os

was not working so instead change

def ninjaExecutable = Os.isFamily(Os.FAMILY_WINDOWS) ? "ninja.exe" : "ninja"

to below

def isWindows = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().contains("windows")
                def ninjaExecutable = isWindows ? "ninja.exe" : "ninja"

and it starts working.

Hope that helps for someone facing the same issue.
