react-native: error in play store Pre-launch report: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo

I opened a bug for Google. On one hand if people here will add the information they have it can push Google to fix it. On the other hand if many examples will come from react-native code they might think this is react-native bug, which it is not. Anyway I guess marking yourself as impacted will help. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/314504451

I am not encountering the issue anymore either, I think DorBSoft is right and Google has done something to correct the problem on their end.

I’m experiencing this issue too. It apparently happens when requesting location permissions with PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) but only on Google Play console automatic tests. I haven’t been able to replicate it on an emulator.

Any workaround?

Same issue here. I’m also not able to reproduce it on the emulator. Was someone able to fix it?

I am having the same problem. I am also using uses-permission android:name=“android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION”/ Does anyone have a fix?

I’m experiencing this issue too. It apparently happens when requesting location permissions with PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) but only on Google Play console automatic tests. I haven’t been able to replicate it on an emulator.

This is most probably coming from the Android feature of showing UI for device location settings when needed, not app location permission.

I’m also seeing this problem, just like @ottor-o, I can’t recreate it in an emulator. Only shows up in Play console report details.

I have exactly the same issue reported on same device, on my own app which is not using react-native. Looks to me like Google bug.

Yes maybe Google just wants to test Android 14 development with each application on the market.

That’s the root of your problem. This is unrelated to React Native.

if i check this, it leads to splash screen (we are using expo-splash-screen). or maybe some setup in android binary related to style thanks for the information.
