react-native: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so (hermes disabled)

Description

I’m getting error reports for couldn’t find DSO to load: libhermes.so

I have hermes disabled but still seems to be tripping up my build.

Seen other report this issue when are trying to use Hermes and tried to make their fixes but was not resolved it for when i am not using hermes

android/app/build.gradle

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js",
    enableHermes: false,  // clean and rebuild if changing
]

def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc:+'
def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);

dependencies {
    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }

android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

updated soloader it was potentially causing the couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so issue: ref: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/29528#issuecomment-737734746 — committed to ecency/ecency-mobile by noumantahir 3 years ago

This is because SOLoader is absent.

Ensure

implementation'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.9.0+'

is added under dependencies in android/app/build.gradlle

clean your build cd android ./gradlew clean

Try bundling ./gradlew bundleRelease

Exit android folder cd ../

Try running npx react-native run-android --variant=release

In my case I needed to add hermes path for each android build type

    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        qaImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        stageImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        prodImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }

In my case I needed to add hermes path for each android flavour

    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        qaImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        stageImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
        prodImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }

Thanks, man. That’s solved my issue (I had to pass releaseStagingImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")

I have implemented and gone through 2 releases without seeing the issue. I’m going to list the changes between a new RN project and mine if that helps anyone

I also added to android/app/build.gradle a soloader library update

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.9.0+'
...

In android/app/build.gradle deleted dexOptions & multiDexEnabled

android {
  -dexOptions {
    -javaMaxHeapSize "3g"
  -}

   defaultConfig {
   ...
  -multiDexEnabled true

  }

In android/build.gradle moved google() & jcenter()

allprojects {
    repositories {
        - google()
        - jcenter()
        mavenLocal()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        } 
        + google()
        + jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties updated gradlew

-distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip
+distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

android/settings.gradle moved include:‘app’

 rootProject.name = 'App'
-include ':app'
 apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
+include ':app'

Thanks @zhubinsheng for your help, much appreciated!

Can confirm that the exact same issue exists in 0.63.2 as well
