Async-storage: defined multiple times

[RicardoDolNL]

Current behavior

I get a error while building a release for android:
Error: /my-app/node_modules/@react-native-community/async-storage/android/build/.transforms/fc2daeb4ff0db30fd0f1f5e68862f91b/classes/classes.dex, Type com.reactnativecommunity.asyncstorage.AsyncLocalStorageUtil is defined multiple times: /my-app/node_modules/@react-native-community/async-storage/android/build/.transforms/fc2daeb4ff0db30fd0f1f5e68862f91b/classes/classes.dex, /my-app/android/app/build/intermediates/external_libs_dex/release/out/classes2.dex

Expected behavior

That I can build my release.

Repro steps

Environment

• Async Storage version: 1.11.0
• React-Native version: 0.62.2

Have you tried to clean build folders, ./gradlew clean?

[danilo900]

I have migrated from AsyncStorage (react-native) to that, and I needed to do the clean like @Krizzu said.

Thanks

[Krizzu]

Please reopen if issue still exist

[RicardoDolNL]

Sorry for the late response, but no ./gradlew clean was the first thing i tried but that does not solve the problem

@anshumanburman i am also facing same issue . have you found any solution ?

[RicardoDolNL]

@anshumanburman @HimaniPatelTH the problem for me was that async-storage had a conflict with react-native-jitsi-meet dependency. Not only async-storage but also react-native-svg. So i had to exclude those inside my /app/build.gradle file:

    implementation(project(':react-native-jitsi-meet')) {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community-async-storage'
        transitive = true
    }

    implementation ('org.jitsi.react:jitsi-meet-sdk:2.+') {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community-async-storage'
        transitive = true
    }

This fixed it for me. So you might also have a dependency that already includes async-storage and you might also want to exclude it in the same way. Hope this helps.

@RicardoDolNL i have added dependency as jar file so this solution is not working .
