Appcenter-cli: Appcenter codepush error: Failed to release a CodePush update

[carloscuesta]

Hello! :wave:

I recently bumped appcenter-cli from 1.1.20 on a project to 2.7.3 version and now our appcenter codepush release-react command is failing.

If I'm not mistaken all the options we're passing are correct:

appcenter codepush release-react -a ulabox-mobile/ulabox-android -d Production -o bundle --disable-duplicate-release-error -t $(node -p "require('./package.json').version")

I tried using the --debug flag but no other info was provided:

info Writing bundle output to:, bundle/CodePush/index.android.bundle
info Writing sourcemap output to:, bundle/CodePush/index.android.bundle.map
info Done writing bundle output
info Done writing sourcemap output
info Copying 67 asset files
info Done copying assets
Error: Failed to release a CodePush update.

Thanks!

I've been testing various Releases of the appcenter-cli and I found out that 2.1.0 is the last version that works with the command that I copied at the issue.

Starting from 2.1.1 and above all the versions fail to release the CodePush update.

Hey @carloscuesta,

This problem is not reproducible on my side in the CodePush-Example app. Therefore, can you provide additional information for us:

• Which version of react-native and react-native-code-push are you using?

• Are you using Hermes in your application?

[carloscuesta]

Sure!

• react-native-code-push: 6.4.0
• react-native: 0.60
• Not using hermes

@carloscuesta, Excuse me, maybe there was some misunderstanding, you probably wrote the version of appcenter-cli: v2.7.3. Because there is no react-native-code-push with this version. Could you clarify the version of code-push-react-native used in your project?

[carloscuesta]

Sure, I edited the comment, sorry for the confusion 😅

@carloscuesta, May I ask you to provide a project.ext.ract value in android/app/build.gradle file if possible?
f.e. my build.gradle:

[carloscuesta]

It's not defined the project.ext.react on the android/app/build.gradle

[andreidubov]

@carloscuesta So, I managed to reproduce the problem, we added it to our backlog, in fact, there is a workaround for you:

Add this code in your android/app/build.gradle

project.ext.react = [
   enableHermes: false
]

I will let you know when this is fixed in the new version, thanks.

[carloscuesta]

I have been able to release a CodePush version with the workaround you suggested! 👏🏼

I will look forward to the release of the fix

Thanks for your time ❤️
