Getting “java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so” error

Question

I\'m in the process of migrating a React Native project from react-native version 0.58.5 to 0.60.4.

For the Android part I\'ve done all the changes mentioned here

Answer 1

you can use the older version of com.facebook.soloader:soloader by adding configurations.all into your build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2"
    }
}

like this build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2"
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

perform below steps if the above steps are not working

app/build.gradle.

android {
  ...
  // add the following packagingOptions 
  packagingOptions {
    pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so'
    pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so'
  }
}

We also added the following to the defaultConfig in the app/build.gradle

ndk {
  abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86'
}
