Issue

In the React Native 0.62.2 project, I generate an Android release apk, and when it runs on Android emulat or some Android devices, it gets crashed after launch screen. I get the following error logs:

FATAL EXCEPTION: create_react_context
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

Solution

Modify the dependencies block of android/app/build.gradle, add or upgrade the SOLoader dependency, as follows.

dependencies {
    implementation'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.9.0+'
}
