Getting an Android build error on old legacy nativescript system

[erjdriver]

I've got a legacy app that needs to be maintained.

Here's the tns info

✔ Getting NativeScript components versions information...
⚠ Update available for component nativescript. Your current version is 8.5.3 and the latest available version is 8.8.2.
✔ Component tns-core-modules has 6.5.27 version and is up to date.
⚠ Update available for component @nativescript/ios. Your current version is 6.5.6 and the latest available version is 8.8.2.
⚠ Update available for component @nativescript/android. Your current version is 8.5.4 and the latest available version is 8.8.5.

When I do a tns build android, get the following error

Build file '/Users/mini/Projects/ccs-mobile/platforms/android/app/build.gradle' line: 586
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
Could not find net.gotev:uploadservice:3.4.2.
Required by:
    project :app

Command ./gradlew failed with exit code 1

Here's my build.gradle file with line 586

// Discover all jars and dynamically create tasks for the extraction of each of them
project.ext.allJars = []
allprojects {
    afterEvaluate { project ->
        def buildType = project.selectedBuildType
        def jars = []
        def artifactType = Attribute.of('artifactType', String)
        android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
            if (variant.buildType.name == buildType) {
                variant.getCompileClasspath().each { fileDependency ->         <<<<<<<< line 586
                    processJar(fileDependency, jars)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This is legacy app and would just like to build it without changes - I didn't make any changes since last successful build which was about 6 months ago. Help appreciated!

We are having a similar issue when building an 8.8.4 app. I get a different error but it points to the same line.

Error:

        android.applicationVariants.configureEach { variant ->
            if (variant.buildType.name == buildType) {
                variant.getCompileClasspath(null).each { fileDependency ->             <<<< Line 574

                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You will need a couple things an older cli, npm, node and runtimes.

Any headway on this?

This component net.gotev:uploadservice:3.4.2 is being used by one of the ns modules - but haven't been able to figure out which.

I'm using [email protected] - but looking at my revisions looks like last one that worked was 6.5.3 - but when I try to add that version - nothing loads. I get

Command npm failed with exit code 1
