apply plugin: "org.jetbrains.kotlin.android"

I have the exact same issue. Upgraded to 0.73 and followed the upgrade diffs. Works fine on iOS and crashes immediately on launch with Android.

I solved it. For anyone else looking for this I accidentally left the wrong package in the top of MainActivity.kt

You can take the logs from here and paste it into ChatGPT if you need more help.

adb logcat | grep com.yourpackage

I solved it by commenting out this line: //ReactNativeFlipper.initializeFlipper(this, getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager()); from MainApplication.java

Did you check logs in Android Studio’s Logcat? I often do that when Metro doesn’t show any logs during crashes. 99.9% chance you will see some useful log in Logcat that explains why the app crashes.
