Cant build my react-native project on android

[tal987]

since yesterday im getting this error when im trying to run my project:

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: Error while generating the main dex list.

I was reading some posts about the issue and I tried to add those lines:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

because when I used stack trace I was getting this error:

Program type already present: androidx.versionedparcelable.CustomVersionedParcelable react native

I added this lines to my local.propeties file but when I did that I have seen that I need to change all my node-module files to use androidx

In addition I was trying to update the package react-native-device-info to the newest version 2.1.2 but still the same result...

React Native version:

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.50.4

I'm working with visual code because my project is for IOS and Android, so the option to migrate to AndroidX is not relevant for me...

I'm attaching my files:

Is there anyway to fix this issue for now? I can't run my project suddenly

[react-native-bot]

Can you run react-native info and edit your issue to include these results under the React Native version: section?

If you believe this information is irrelevant to the reported issue, you may write `[skip envinfo]` alongside an explanation in your Environment: section.

@tal987 I would like to advice to upgrade RN to 0.59 because it added 64bit support and Google Play Store will require 64 bit support beginning 1st August 2019. See https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/01/get-your-apps-ready-for-64-bit.html.

Google's libraries are migrating to AndroidX and causing breakages in apps, see https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases.

[nghiant96]

update react-native-device-info to 2.1.2

[tal987]

@dulmandakh can you tell me how to update my rn version?

[tal987]

@nghiant96 I was mention that I tried that and it didn’t work

[haruelrovix]

@tal987 month ago I upgraded RN project from 0.55.4 to 0.59.8 successfully.

Here are my primary resources on doing that:

1. The easiest way to upgrade React Native to the latest version
2. Facebook official 0.59 release announcement, Upgrading to 0.59.

[tal987]

Solution:
for me what that work is this:
#25292 (comment)

hope it will help to others

[lukewlms]

Same fix for me as for @tal987:

i solved mine with these dependencies

implementation project(':react-native-firebase')
implementation(project(':react-native-push-notification')) {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9") {
    force = true
}
implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0") {
    force = true
}
