Answer 1

go to android/app/build.grad

android { ... + packagingOptions { + pickFirst '**/libjsc.so' + pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so' + pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so' + pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so' + pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' + pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so' + pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
+ } }

Running the cleaning task solved the problem for me. In your project's android dir, run gradle wrapper with 'clean'

cd android && ./gradlew clean 

Then you can go back to project dir and try running again.

cd .. && react-native run-android

Answer 3

go to android/app/build.gradle add the following under android

android {
    ...
+   packagingOptions {
+       pickFirst '**/libjsc.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
+       pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'  
+   }
}

Go to android/app/build.gradle and add the following thing under android:

android {
  packagingOptions {
      pickFirst '**/libjsc.so'

  }
}

Then run it again. If your using react native i suggest you to close npm console and run it again.

cd android && gradlew clean
cd..
react-native run-android

AAR libraries were not linking to the Main application from Bridge Project.

Solution:

implementation files(‘libs/sdk-5.0.0.aar’)

Instead of

implementation(name:'sdk-5.0.0', ext:'aar')

I faced another issue related to AAR file import into the android project. https://stackoverflow.com/a/58602329/3197778
