Expected behavior

App should work as expected

Actual behavior

App crashes when opening. Disabling protection and rebuilding works fine.

Package versions

• React: 17.0.2
• React Native: 0.66.2
• React Native Gesture Handler: 2.1.0

At first glance it looks like "automatic integrity protection" messes something up with refleciton. React Native on Android uses reflection to map native methods such that they can be called from JS (that's what ReactMethod annotation is for). It appears like the class is renamed and no longer recognized as an annotation class.

If this is the case, I don't think this issue is specific to gesture handler. Would you be able to check if an empty react native app (w/o gesture-handler or any other library installed) crashes the same way when published with that setting?

Hi Jens and Krzysztof! I'm the TL for Automatic Integrity Protections. We found this report by chance and looked into it. We apologise for the inconvenience. The culprit has been found and this problem should now be fixed. You can try again by re-enabling protections and re-uploading your bundle. I can confirm that the problem was not related to reflection, react native nor gesture handlers.

If you face a problem with AIP we'd appreciate it if you filed a bug through https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/gethelp , where it should be routed to us. Thank you and happy protecting!

Thanks for the information! In that case, I'll close the issue.
