React-native: Android signed release build cannot find DSO to load - Unsatisfied Link Error

[thomasarogers]

Bug Description

When running a signed release build on a physical device (Google Pixel 2) the application fails to open and crashes immediately with the error message below. Debug build runs without error.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: librealmreact.so caused by: Error: Cannot load /data/app/com.singletrack-oLMiw4nVqqKxhbcbq5quCg==/lib/arm/librealmreact.so

From the error message it is looking for the librealmreact.so binary in /lib/arm/ but when I analyse the APK the librealmreact.so is located in /lib/armeabi-v7a/ but I do not know why it is searching on the wrong path.

Gradle config

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

import com.android.build.OutputFile

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

        def abi = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI)
        if (abi != null) {  // null for the universal-debug, universal-release variants
            output.versionCodeOverride =
                    versionCodes.get(abi) * 1048576 + defaultConfig.versionCode
        }

Application should open and run without error

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.59 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running react-native info on a project using the latest release.

[dulmandakh]

Hello there 👋 this issue has been reported for an old version of React Native. Ideally we'd like everyone to be using 0.59 (see the awesome changes it brought) but we know updating can be a pain. We are going to close this issue because it's from a version before 0.57, which is really old.

But please, if it's actually still an issue with 0.59 please comment below and we can reopen it. Even better, please send us a pull request with a fix 😊

[thomasarogers]

Fixed in 0.59 thanks!

[viveksoneja28]

Hi, Even we are facing the same issue. It works fine with Standalone Apks (generated from bundle). But starts crashing with multi-apk install. Kindly help to resolve this.

Tried with RN Version 0.53.3, 0.58.6 and 0.59.0.

[uncledent]

If you use realm, update it to the latest version, which is 64bit compatible

Working on it . Not able to find yet.

@shukerullah @shaktimoyal
what's your realm lib version? Have you updated the library? Also have you included 64 bit architecture in your app level gradle config file?

TLDR
_Finally I manage to fixcouldn't find DSO to load: libreactnativejni.so issue by updating react native from v0.57.0 to v0.59.1_

I was trying to create separate build per CPU Architecture and app-arm64-v8a-release.apk was crashing on my Samsung note 9. However, app-armeabi-v7a-release.apk was working fine.

package.json file

  "react": "16.8.3",
  "react-native": "0.59.1"

    }

    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        def versionCodes = ["armeabi-v7a":1, "x86":2, "arm64-v8a": 3, "x86_64": 4]
        def abi = output.getFilter(OutputFile.ABI)
        if (abi != null) {
            output.versionCodeOverride =
                    versionCodes.get(abi) * 1048576 + defaultConfig.versionCode

After release build I can see now all the missing .so libs under andriod/app/build/intermediates/stripDebugSymbol/release/0/lib, earlier libreactnativejni.so and other libs were missing inside stripDebugSymbol/release/0/lib/arm64-v8a
