Hey! 👋

It looks like you've omitted a few important sections from the issue template.

Please complete Description, Steps To Reproduce, Reproduction and Platform sections.

[github-actions]

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snippet of code, a snack or a link to a GitHub repository that reproduces the problem?

[rado196]

same here, has anyone solved this issue?

[kkafar]

I can not reproduce this issue w/o any reproduction or insights, but I recall coming across this CXX1405 during development. If I remember right, Invalidate caches in Android studio and optionally rm -fr node_modules && yarn install && rm -fr ~/.gradle should help.

If it does not help, please conform to bot's comments so I can have something to begin with.

has anyone solved this issue ??

[kkafar]

This response points toward some local misconfiguration. You might want to check it out.

Edit: Actually, thanks to that issue I managed to reproduce it & fix it with suggestion provided there.

Edit your android/gradle.properties file, uncomment this line:

#org.gradle.parallel=true

and set this setting explicitly to false:

org.gradle.parallel=false

Taking a quick peek it looks like this option is set to true even with this line being initially commented out.

Also you should checkout this troubleshooting section in React Native docs

I'm closing this issue, as:

1. this should resolve your problem
2. it is not strictly related to react-native-screens

However feel free to re-open / continue the discussion.

Hello :)
unfortunately I get a similar error but instead of missing libfb.so for x86_64 it's missing for x86

The complete error is here:

I thought maybe it's because of the the OS. I use MacOS Monterey which only supports 64 bit 🤔 but arm and the others are working... I already followed the hint from #1483 (comment) but it does not work. :(

Same problem here, I am on MacOS Monterey as well, can't build for arm64-v8a also.

I believe this is due to some misconfiguration of task dependencies in react native gradle plugin (files are required before they re build). Workaround for now: run the Android build twice from Android studio. Gradle Sync && first build will fail, but required files will be build so that following builds should succeed.

Edit: you should also consider using more recent React Native version (0.70 or 0.69 at least) as Fabric development at React Native comes with some breaking/big changes in recent versions and many libraries (including react-native-screens) do not strive to keep backward compatibility yet.
