Steps to reproduce

it crashes during initialization, can reproduce the crash every time

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

it crashes from the Jitsi Android SDK, jitsi SDK github repo: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet

Is it a regression of this one https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25537 ? It might also be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/34143

[Yandamuri]

facing same issue.

[Vantam1601]

. ?

[guptaprnv]

any solution on this, facing same problem in 0.69.

[wragony]

facing same issue. RN version (0.68.0)

[lluisandreu]

Same issue in RN 0.7.20. In this version Hermes is mandatory.

[roots-ai]

Is react native actively maintained now? Seems like the latest versions have many breaking issues that are unaddressed

[ouarrtaha]

same here with rn 0.70.3

[cortinico]

Same issue in RN 0.7.20. In this version Hermes is mandatory.

Nope Hermes is never mandatory. Is enabled by default. You can still opt-out if you need.

same here with rn 0.70.3

Just a heads-up that the error couldn't find DSO to load: libjscexecutor.so could actually be caused by a variety of different reasons.

In React Native 0.71.0 we improved the way how the JS engine native library is loaded, which should hopefully fix this issue as well as others.

[rdtf1230]

same here with 0.70.4.... again....

[zhuzheng1991]

i fix this. you can override getJavaScriptExecutorFactory in your ReactNativeHost if you use hermes,force JSExecutorFactory use hermesExecutorFactory

import com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutor;
import com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutorFactory;
...
// inside your ReactNativeHost
override fun getJavaScriptExecutorFactory(): JavaScriptExecutorFactory? {
        HermesExecutor.loadLibrary()
        return HermesExecutorFactory()
}

[arkD]

this helped me, but I think you meant this?

import com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutor;
import com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutorFactory;
...
// inside ReactNativeHost
        @Override
        protected JavaScriptExecutorFactory getJavaScriptExecutorFactory() {
            HermesExecutor.loadLibrary();
            return new HermesExecutorFactory();
        }

I am barely a java novice, but this did get rid of this error for me. thank you.

[zhuzheng1991]

yes，your complement is right :D

[Mi6u3l]

same problem on 0.67

[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+.

@cortinico can you please share the procedure to follow for updating to 0.71 if we are using our own fork of react-native. The approach taken uptil 0.69 is no longer working and we are not getting our own artefact by changing path of react-native in package.json

[bozaigao]

Run ./gradlew clean then build again

Is there a solution for this besides upgrading React Native? Upgrading is generally a massive undertaking and not something that can be done on a whim, not to mention it will likely break dependencies... On RN 0.69.

Upgrade is pretty easy with https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/

I do it often with no problem

Thank you, I'll give this a shot. In the meantime, disabling Hermes fixed the issue.
