I am building a React-Native application, everything worked fine until I decided to upgrade from version 0.59.x to v 0.61.5.
When I try to release my app in the play store, I've got a lot of crashes reported by Firebase Crashlytics (v 6.2.0) -- even though my version is just available for internal testing, so it must be a pre-launch report triggered by playstore -- and it's exactly the same error for the exact same device => LGE Nexus 5X with android 6.0.1.
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

To solved this problem, I tried to submit multiple version with slightly different android configuration (for instance with and without hermes enable) but it doesn't change the end result.
Here is my build.gradle file :
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply plugin: "io.fabric"

/**
* The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
* and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
* These basically call `react-native bundle` with the correct arguments during the Android build
* cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
* bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
* and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
* `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.

I found this github issues talking about this topic :
But no solutions described here were worked for me.
Also found this thread on stackoverflow: React-Native :java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so : the error seems to be slightly different from mine, but solutions didn't work.
I'm afraid to release my new version into production and I'm totally stuck. Need fast help :)
I solved this issue by generating an apk
rather than an aab
.
But because of the extra weight generated I'm deeply dissatisfied with this fix, and hope it's a temporary solution only.
Edit
found another solution, I added this in my build.gradle
file. I am unsure of the side-effects but at least I stopped having this errors from crashlytics. But it seems I still have issues with some devices.
android {
defaultConfig {
// let your old config
ndk {
abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a", "x86_64"
}
}
}
2nd Edit
Solution 2nd solution make some devices incompatible with my app. A new answer on github written by @AlexandrDobrovolskiy was the right one for me
Forcing soLoader to version 0.82
in build.gradle
file:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2"
}
}
