• hope it help here to debug this crash.

**Step reproduce:

• Init project: npx react-native init Test0714

• android/gradle.properties -> newArchEnabled true

• add @react-native-firebase/app

• register firebase console -> add google-services.json (packageName: "com.test0714") to dir: /android/app

• rnfirebase docs: => cd android && ./gradlew signingReport

• add "classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'" into dir: /android/build.gradle

• Lastly, execute the plugin by adding the following to your /android/app/build.gradle file:
  ->apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' // <- Add this line

• In File: /android/app/build.gradle
  => add these lines: "multiDexEnabled true" and "implementation 'androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1'"

• yarn add @react-native-firebase/messaging

• yarn add @react-native-firebase/crashlytics

  • android/build.gradle add line: "classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.9.4'"
  • android/app/build.gradle add line: "apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'"

// run-android here working fine.

/ / / / / / / /
// Crash after do these things with react-native-code-push
// adb logcat ==> java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

• yarn add react-native-code-push

  • android/setting.gradle:
    include ':app', ':react-native-code-push'
    project(':react-native-code-push').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/app')

  • android/app/build.gradle
    apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
    apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-code-push/android/codepush.gradle"

  • update MainApplication.java
    // 1. Import the plugin class.
    import com.microsoft.codepush.react.CodePush;

    //
    @OverRide
    protected String getJSBundleFile() {
    return CodePush.getJSBundleFile();
    }

Can someone try the reproducer provided by @NguyenHoangMinhkkkk and verify that it consistently happening?

[NguyenHoangMinhkkkk]

And one more thing.
in gradle.properties, if hermesEnabled set as false then the app works.

[poojasolanki9569]

I can able to reproduce this issue 'couldn't find DSO to load' in the latest react-native 0.71.6 with hermesEnabled true, Can someone help, please?

This is happening because of this line (apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle") in app/buil.gradle. This is required by older versions of codepush however they fixed it in the latest release.

Fix:

1. remove
   apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"
   from app/build.gradle
2. Update react-native-code-push to v8.0.1
3. rebuild android and you should be good to go

You can confirm the apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" is the problem by creating a new project in RN and adding this line in the app/build.gradle.

And also double check code-push is working for you.

Thanks for verifying this @rada You're right that line is unnecessary.
Closing as this is now solved

@rada Hi guys,
Thank you so much it works for me in Debug mode. However when it comes to release mode, the app build successfully but pictures are shown...I have to add apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" for the release App to work! It is so annoying.
Any ideas guys? Thank you so much
