Crashing on android when newArchEnabled=true with RN 0.77.1

"react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.23.1"
},

Error:

couldn't find DSO to load: libgesturehandler.so

Hi @jagnesh! I've just tested your repro and it works fine. Have you tried clearing caches?

react-native start --reset-cache
cd android && ./gradlew clean

[jagnesh]

Hi @m-bert,
Yeah, I tried after clearing caches as well and still getting the same issue.

[m-bert]

Does it happen also on newly created app, or only in your existing project?

[jagnesh]

it's a newly created app only with a single lib. https://github.com/jagnesh/SampleAppGestureHandler

using yarn android cmd to run app

Could you share output of find . -name libgesturehandler.so ran from root of the repository (after you build the app)?

[jagnesh]

I just observed one thing this crash is happening in AVD of Android 15.0 (16 KB Page Size Google APIs PlayStore). Will this be a matter of concern?

Will this be a matter of concern?

Seems like it can, I was able to reproduce it on given version.

[m-bert]

Could you please check if #3412 fixes this issue? 😅

It's working fine now. 🎉
