Steps To Reproduce

I am unsure, it seems to be an intermittent crash that doesn't really affect every user. I can only see this in google firebase crashlytics report, so far there have been 8 crashes of the same error on various android devices.

I have hermes enabled.

This is happening on my app, Entrepic http://entrepic.com/, and only on Android so far.

Here's the complete error message:

I don't think android version has anything to do with this, I can see this happened to variety of devices:

• 1.0.17 (30) Android 4.1.2, LG K4 LTE, Apr 10, 2021, 4:55:13 PM
• 1.0.17 (30) Android 9, Pixel 3 XL, Apr 10, 2021, 2:44:42 PM, seems it happened 7 times on this device,
• 1.0.17 (30) Android 11, Pixel 3a, Apr 10, 2021, 12:05:36 AM, seems it happened 3 times on this device

For the meantime, what I tried is yarn add hermes-engine jsc-android, maybe that will change something? I'll release this as soon as I can. So far, I have not experienced this happening on local development.

Expected Results

This crash should not happen

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

Please provide a Snack (https://snack.expo.io/), a link to a repository on GitHub, or provide a minimal code example that reproduces the problem. You may provide a screenshot of the application if you think it is relevant to your bug report. Here are some tips for providing a minimal example: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve

Also LGE Nexus 5X suffers same issue. But other devices are going well. I turned on hermes in Android.

[felansu]

+1 in:

• Motorola with android 9
• LGE Nexus 5X with android 8
• Google Pixel 3 with android 10 & 11

if you have minSdkVersion > 21, you could try to add this to app/build.gradle

android{
...
packagingOptions {
     jniLibs.useLegacyPackaging = true
}
...
}

I have hermes disabled and using the jsc engine. Facing a similar crash on One Plus 8 pro (only seen on this device). Not sure why its trying to load hermes even when its disabled on production.

[Developeranees]

@sarthakpranesh any updates ?

[sarthakpranesh]

Hey @Developeranees and others My team has finally shifted to the latest version of React Native (v0.70.6) and we successfully completed the update process. We are now also running Hermes as its default in the latest version. We haven't seen this issue after updating to the latest version of RN, hope that continues ✌🏽

[cortinico]

This and all the "couldn't find DSO to load" bugs have been fixed in React Native 0.71.

The issue on previous versions was a "too aggressive" clean-up logic in the react.gradle file. In 0.71 the clean-up logic has been rewritten to be more Android friendly and is now living inside the React Native Gradle Plugin.

I'm closing this, please update to 0.71 and open a new issue if the "couldn't find DSO to load" crash is still happening on 0.71+.

[fleuverouge]

Hi @cortinico I cannot upgrade to RN 0.71 because one crucial 3rd-party package is not compatible with it. It'd be great if there were any hot fix for earlier versions (I'm using RN 0.70.6).

[cortinico]

clean-up logic in the react.gradle file. In 0.71 the clean-up logic has been rewritten to be more Android friendly and is now living inside the React Native Gradle Plu

Sadly this can't easily be backported. If you're able to provide a reproducer for 0.70.6, pleas e share it in a separate issue.

This seems related to https://github.com/facebook/SoLoader/issues/59 Please open a separate issue, with a reproducer and specifically on which device this is happening.
