react-native: [CRASH] Android 6.0.1 crashes with java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

I uploaded a RN0.60.4 release build to Google Play and they ran automated tests leading to a lot of crashes coming in with the following stack trace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

       at java.lang.Thread.run + 818(Thread.java:818)

Affected OS is always 6.0.1. Interestingly Hermes is not even enabled in my build.gradle:

project.ext.react = [
  entryFile: "index.android.js",
  enableHermes: false,  // clean and rebuild if changing
  bundleInDebug: false,
  bundleInRelease: true,
  root: "../../",
 ]
...
def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);
...
// Hermes config
    if (enableHermes) {
      def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermesvm/android/";
      debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
      releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
      implementation jscFlavor
    }

I looked into the app bundle and extracted the apk for the device type that is crashing. It contains the libjsc.so file but not the libhermes.so. Imho this is correct because my gradle is configured to not include it. The big question is why does it want to load it if it not enabled? What also surprised me is that I found libhermes-executor-release.so and libhermes-executor-debug.so in it too. I guess, they should be excluded?

I filed a report with the Hermes project here but they referred me to here.

I was able to resolve it with a ./gradlew clean in the /android folder.

Fixed with changing SoLoader version to 0.8.2 according to 0.62 react-native configuration. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/ReactAndroid/gradle.properties

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

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

Same issue as well, RN 0.61.2, hermes disabled, seeing the same crashes reported for Nexus 5X 6.0.1 after uploading the app bundle to Play Store alpha track. Interestingly enough, Robo tests on Firebase Test lab are successful for Nexus 5 (physical device with android 6.0.1) and Nexus 5X (virtual device with android 6.0.1). Has anybody managed to reproduce this on any physical device?

How is react 60 stable I don’t understand.

I have had crashes for Device Brand: LGE Model: Nexus 5X React Native Version: 0.60.3 Android Version: 6.0.1

I had created android app bundle( .aab file ) with hermes enabled. I have only debug and release variant. release variant has this problem. Issue is opened on Aug 3 and it’s been so many days, not a single working fix is available. Really frustrating.

arjun-mavonic on Sep 25, 2019

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
    }

Probably it should be mentioned in the doc, that it needs to be added for each build type.

chriswiesner on Dec 2, 2019

I’m having this same issue with the following conditions: -RN v0.63.4 -Hermes NOT enabled -> Using JSC -Latest SoLoader (0.10.1) -Using app bundle -Run gradle clean before bundleRelease -Issue only happens to certain devices on production (multiple Android versions and manufacturers)

After digging for a while I found this PR which mentions the “cause” of this issue when considering the previously mentioned conditions. The PR author does a really good job explaining how this problem occurs. In short, it’s not related to Hermes at all, but the real error is being discarded and Hermes is being loaded instead as a fallback, which in turn fails since it’s not enabled. That PR solves the “error swallowing” problem so the real error can be propagated when the app crashes. Please do merge that PR so we can figure out the real cause of this problem.

juanamd on May 30, 2021

Any suggestion on how to reproduce for verification a given solution fixes this problem?

  • Google Play testing always reports fatal exception on Android 6.0.1, Nexus 5X devices
  • I cannot reproduce by copying APK to locally installed AVD:
    • Nexus 5X, Android 6.0 (Google APIs), API 23 )
    • Nexus 5X, Android 4.4 (Google APIs), API 19 )

Current Verification Procedure:

  1. Search StackOverflow, GitHub, etc. and make a suggested change to a build.gradle
  2. Upload AAB to Google Play
  3. Wait many hours until Google Play testing triggers a string of fatal exceptions and Firebase Crashlytics report emails notification to developer. Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so
  4. Repeat at Step #1

I have tried enableHermes: false and various versions of resolution strategies for "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.9.0+ without success.

Why is it trying to load Hermes when enableHermes is set to false?

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

Fixed with changing SoLoader version to 0.8.2 according to 0.62 react-native configuration. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/ReactAndroid/gradle.properties

Awesome. This fixed it for us 💪

But sadly this isn’t in React Native 0.62.2 as I discovered the issue after upgrading to it. The v0.63.0-rc.1 however already contains it , so I guess it will come soon.

As it is in the master here already I guess it is considered safe to upgrade the soloader to 0.8.2. Did anyone experience any issue because of it so far?

sdurandeu on Jan 29, 2020

This and all the “couldn’t find DSO to load” bugs have been fixed in React Native 0.71.

The issue on previous versions was a “too aggressive” clean-up logic in the react.gradle file. In 0.71 the clean-up logic has been rewritten to be more Android friendly and is now living inside the React Native Gradle Plugin.

I’m closing this, please update to 0.71 and open a new issue if the “couldn’t find DSO to load” crash is still happening on 0.71+.

cortinico on Jan 19, 2023

RN 0.62.2 here with hermes enabled. For me adding

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

to my top-level build.gradle and

implementation "com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2"

as well as

ndk { abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86", "arm64-v8a", "x86_64" }

to my app-level build.gradle did the trick. I think that especially the latter made the difference as before both apk’s and aab’s showed an additional (fifth) lib folder armeabi which did not contain all lib files, in particular not libhermes.so.

Important info if you use Hermes I updated from 61.5 to 62.2 and got a crash on android: couldn’t find DSO to load: libhermes-executor-debug.so

I fixed it by adding following string to android/app/build.gradle: implementation “org.webkit:android-jsc:+”

I had the same issue and was because I forget to update the (app/android)/buld.gradle, as say the documentation, I checked the changes with https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.10&to=0.61.5 and updated those files, also check the other files, but the important part is

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules

    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")

I’m seeing this crash in production with RN 0.61.2, using android bundles with hermes disabled, only on android 6 LGE devices.
