Compiling fails about react-native-background-job

Ok, so to be clear, when you bumped your minSdkVersion it worked? I specify the minimum Android version to the readme. But I guess instructions to bump it in the gradle file should be added as well.

In the package I had to delete the following line

compileOptions.incremental = false from android/build.gradle

and I had to bump the minSdkVersion to 21 in my projects android/app/build.gradle

[vikeri]

Interesting, I added compileOptions.incremental = false to the package just because my compilations were failing, but only updating minSdkVersion android/app/build.gradle in your project did not fix the issue?

I am not sure if it had worked the other way round - I first fixed the problem with the compile Option and then ran into the SdkVersion error

[vikeri]

Ok, could you try adding the compileOptions.incremental = false back and see if it compiles now that you have raised the sdkVersion? I namely can't reproduce this error in my project where I have the minSdkVersion = 21.

Ok I tried this and now Iam back at

No such property: incremental for class: com.android.build.gradle.internal.CompileOtions_Decorated

Alright thanks for troubleshooting, obviously an issue with the package then. If you can submit a PR fixing that it'd be great. Otherwise I'll have a look at it during the week.
