Hi @yabeow,

Are you using some other react-native module w/ a Facebook requirement? The error is complaining about a missing Facebook class (not related to Viro).

Alternatively, if you're adding this to an existing application, you might have to enable multidexing by adding multiDexEnabled true to your app's build.config under android->defaultConfig.

Thanks,

Hi @achuvm ,
I create a issue here because my android app work just fine before install react-viro. And i also have
multiDexEnabled true.
Does react-viro using any Facebook class?

[yabeow]

It's seem that react-viro broke out my multiDex config and now my Android app can't found any class :(

[yabeow]

I've finally found out the problem. The react-viro's dependencies create too much dex files in apk file and it's reaches the limit. The solution is add:

android {
   dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
        preDexLibraries false
    }
}

in the app build.gradle.
