Flipper: UnsatisfiedLinkError with Flipper 0.55.0

[shashachu]

🐛 Bug Report

We're trying to upgrade from Stetho to Flipper for the first time as we were previously blocked by https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/660

I'm able to build after excluding fbjni from flipper and flipper-network-plugin but I'm getting runtime crashes:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libflipper.so caused by: dlopen failed: cannot locate symbol "_ZNSt6__ndk112__next_primeEj" referenced by "/data/data/xxxxxxx/lib-main/libflipper.so"... result: 0

To Reproduce

Unfortunately I can't provide a complete sample, but this is how we're adding the Flipper dependencies:

    debugImplementation ('com.facebook.flipper:flipper:0.55.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.fbjni', module: 'fbjni'
    }
    debugImplementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.9.0'
    debugImplementation ('com.facebook.flipper:flipper-network-plugin:0.55.0') {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.fbjni', module: 'fbjni'
    }

It looks like the missing symbol should be in libc++_shared.so which as far as I can tell is ending up in the final APK properly, so not totally sure what's weird about our setup.

Environment

• Mac OSX 10.15.6
• AGP 4.0.1
• Flipper 0.55.0
• SoLoader 0.9.0
• React Native 0.63.1
• Android Stock emulator, various API levels (27, 29, 30)

I have tried both solutions in https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/824 and have not had success.

Same problem here.
I'm getting the same runtime error as mentioned above.

Flipper 0.55.0
SoLoader 0.9.0
React Native: 0.62.2

@passy do you have any suggestions?

[spsaucier-bakkt]

Downgrading to 0.54.0 seems to fix this issue.

[passy]

No idea where this is coming from. A sample that reproduces this would be very helpful.

Downgrading to 0.54.0 seems to fix this issue.

Can confirm we're no longer crashing with 0.54.0. I'm now getting a cert error, so will look into that.

[passy]

It would be very interesting to know if reverting https://github.com/facebook/flipper/commit/97adea5423b5b28b63e43137ba72c1828cbe1dac would change anything for you. It should be enough to override the dependency and pin fbjni to 0.0.2 instead.

[shashachu]

@passy I wasn't able to pin it to 0.0.2 just in the gradle files, but I made local builds of flipper and the flipper network plugin with 97adea5 reverted and indeed it doesn't crash, so it does appear to be the fbjni 0.0.4 version upgrade.

[passy]

I'll revert back for now to ensure compatibility with the current RN release. I've just fixed an issue with the fbjni distribution that was blocking them from updating. I hope that with the updates on their side this should Just Work again.
