React-native: Release APK crash immediately on launch - React Native ( Version 0.58.4)

[ank26oct]

🐛 Bug Report

The android version runs perfectly in debug mode using android studio emulator. However, the release version of the apk crashes immediately when launched.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Reproducible Demo

react-native init Demo
cd AwesomeProject

After this Just install following:

npm i --save react-native-crypto
npm i bitcore-lib --save
npm i --save react-native-randombytes
react-native link react-native-randombytes
npm i --save-dev tradle/rn-nodeify
./node_modules/.bin/rn-nodeify --hack --install

rn-nodeify will create a shim.js in the project root directory

import './shim.js' file in aap.js

react-native run-android

It runs perfectly in debug mode.
I have created signed apk it gets created without any error also installed without error but when i open, it crashes

Expected Behavior

The app should run without crashing.
App crashes on launch, logcat throws this error:

[jassumgoran]

Disabling minification for release builds solved it for me:

def enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = false

[ank26oct]

@jassumgoran, this is already false. Not working.

[ank26oct]

I have resolved this issue by using JSC build scripts for Android. Thanks to jsc-android.

[wouterds]

@ank26oct: Hi, I have the same issue, also since I upgraded to 0.58.x (from 0.57.3). But I have it on iOS, haven't tried Android yet. Does it work for you on iOS? Could you elaborate on the fix / what needs to be changed exactly?

[jollyjoker992]

Same as you. Looking forward a correct solution.

[wouterds]

Just upgraded from 0.58.4 to 0.58.5, still the same issue unfortunately.

[kelset]

I have resolved this issue by using JSC build scripts for Android.

React Native 0.59 will embed that JSC version, so unless someone can post a repro that uses 0.59 (meaning, a project init-ed to 0.59rc2 that still create the crash) there is no need to keep this open.

Moreover, it really seems that it has something to do with the libraries you add, not React Native itself.

Again, if you can post a repro for 0.59* I'll re-open.

[jollyjoker992]

@ank26oct Do you know what exact library causes this problem?

[wouterds]

I've been debugging for hours, I have no clue what's causing it.

[jollyjoker992]

@ank26oct It just works in emulator, not in real device. Could you post your solution here?

[ank26oct]

Sorry for late reply. Its working both in emulator as well as in production build (real device). For this you have to install JSC build scripts for Android. You must use version r15c to build. r17 and above break NDK build that this app requires. Download the r15c NDK version here: https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases.

and follow the installation requirements for JSC build scripts for Android.
After installation and path setup i have made following changes in Android/build.gradle:

allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
google()
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
maven {
// Local Maven repo containing AARs with JSC library built for Android
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/android"
}
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
}
}

and in Android i have made following changes in android/app/build.gradle

project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js"

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"

}

configurations.all {

}
}
// Run this once to be able to run the application with BUCK
// puts all compile dependencies into folder libs for BUCK to use
task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {

I hope this will help you.

I am facing the same problem with RN 0.59.4. After installing react-native-admob and changing some dependencies I can compile but not run the app. But I can't use even in debug. What I should check ?
This problem occours affter instaling and linking admob lib.

dependencies {
    implementation (project(':react-native-admob')){
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms", module: "play-services-ads"
    }
    implementation project(':react-native-vector-icons')
    implementation project(':react-native-gesture-handler')
    implementation project(':react-native-firebase')
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.2.1"
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8"
    implementation ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.0.0") {
        force = true;
    }
}

Any ideas ? plz...

I'm getting these crashes with RN version 0.59.5 with APK, too. It works fine when building, but APK crashes right after opening the app. Can reproduce this on a real device (OnePlus 3, Android version 8.0.0), as well as on emulators (Pixel 3 XL with 64 bit Android 9.0 and Nexus 6P with Android 7.1.1). I can confirm that this is an issue even with a clean project created with react-native init. Other solutions mentioned here have not worked for me.

[douglasjunior]

@quietbits Seems to be related to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/24260

[quietbits]

Posting this here as well in the other related issue. Here is a repo with APK to try: https://github.com/quietbits/react-native-apk-crash. Any tests are much appreciated!

[dagenius007]

I am having the same issue. RN version 0.57.8

[ndvbd]

solved when I moved from 0.59.0-rc.0 to 0.59.8

[devt3000]

https://medium.com/@impaachu/react-native-android-release-build-crash-on-device-14f2c9eacf18 this post fixed my issue, but I skipped some steps.

[douglasjunior]

I found this issue #24261 with Hi-Pri tag.

[ranapk]

after generating the keystore run the following command

"react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res"

this worked for me

[rodrigobutta]

This might help!!!!!!

When the screen closes at start, there might be some errors not being showed in the build console. I don't know why. So instead of running the react-native run-android, try tu run this:

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res
It will try to compile and it will start throwing the errors nobody was telling you!!

It took me several hours to notice this, after knowing the errors, i fixed one by one. Hope it helps!!

Some of the silly errors that were closing the app just after starts:

[mathew3]

Try to use adb logcat *:E, super helpful if the error is not JS related

[JuliyaShirokova]

I am having the same issue. RN version 0.60.
Solved when I set enableProguardInReleaseBuilds to false.

[azharuddinkhan8898]

This resolved my issue.

[chilugen]

@azharuddinkhan8898 its not working

[azharuddinkhan8898]

@chilugen Use this adb logcat *:E and check what error you are getting when you open your app.

[chilugen]

@azharuddinkhan8898

[ShaneMatthias]

Upgrading from RN 0.59.5 to RN 0.59.10 worked for me.

[chilugen]

@ShaneMatthias me to 0.57.5 to 0.59.10 and this link https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.57.5&to=0.59.10

[LeonardoPlacanica]

Updated to 0.59.10 but still not working just apk crash on start. I've tried every workaround but nothing any suggestion?

[chilugen]

delete node_modules folder reinstall npm i @LeonardoPlacanica

[LeonardoPlacanica]

Already tried at least 10 times. The app is building the release correctly but once i run the apk on a device it crashes at the start

[chilugen]

@LeonardoPlacanica some android folder code plz

Please try to use try catch in your function when you use another service

I'm facing this after install react-native-firebase. This happens only on Android 8.0 by now.

Disabling minification for release builds solved it for me:

def enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = false

Thank you! It works for me! 🎉

Try to use adb logcat *:E, super helpful if the error is not JS related

best tip ever !
I could see that

adding then <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE"/> to my AndroidManifest.xlm solved my problem
