Azure devops pipline No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix

Question

Hi I'm trying to build react native android app in azure pipelines but I can't get it to work... The error I'm keep getting is like this. I tried everything I found on google but nothing helped.

Build task:

    - task: Gradle@2
  displayName: "Build APK"
  inputs:
      gradleWrapperFile: "android/gradlew"
      workingDirectory: "android/"
      options: "-PversionName=$(NEW_VERSION) -PversionCode=$(Build.BuildId)"
      tasks: "assembleStage" # assembleRelease or assembleStage
      publishJUnitResults: false
      javaHomeOption: "JDKVersion"
      jdkVersionOption: "1.11"
      gradleOptions: "-Xmx3072m"
      sonarQubeRunAnalysis: false

I use com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2 (and can't upgrade it)

ERROR:

Task :react-native-document-scanner:stripReleaseDebugSymbols FAILED

Support for ANDROID_NDK_HOME is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use android.ndkVersion in build.gradle instead.

Task :app:mergeStageJavaResource Task :app:mergeExtDexStage

I tried specify ndkVersion to "21.4.7075529" didn't help. Also I tried to upgrade gradle version to 4.1.0 but same error came up.

Thanks

I managed to fix it by adding bash script as step like this:

echo "ndk.dir=$ANDROID_NDK_HOME" >> local.properties
