did you add this:

@Override
     public String getFileProviderAuthority() {
            return "com.example.yourappidhere.provider";
     }

?

its possible that this error is caused because of some other libraries. i have seen this error before. @vadhack did you link properly? when did you get this error. at the time of building release or development?

Thanks, i put this code on wrong place:

public String getFileProviderAuthority() {
return "com.example.yourappidhere.provider";
}

Sorry :( is not a issue

Thanks, i put this code on wrong place:

I did this as well and it took me a while to cipher it out. In my case I added it to the private final ReactNativeHost ... where all the other @Overrides were located. This override needs to be at the public class level.
