Issue and Reproduction Steps

I am trying to upgrade RN version from 0.63.4 to 0.69.7, I made the changes mention in upgrade helper tool https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.63.4&to=0.69.7, I have also enabled the new architecture, when I am trying to build the Project on Android studio the build is failing and getting this error

@cortinico Context, we have a hybrid React native setup, where react-native is inside android project not the other way around, and also we have multi-module Android project, and react native integration code is inside one of the module

The problem is inside your last build.gradle file. If you're nto using the new Architecture, you should remove:

// If new architecture is enabled, we let you build RN from source
// Otherwise we fallback to a prebuilt .aar bundled in the NPM package.
// This will be applied to all the imported transtitive dependency.
configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
        substitute(module("com.facebook.react:react-native"))
            .using(project(":ReactAndroid"))
            .because("On New Architecture we're building React Native from source")
        substitute(module("com.facebook.react:hermes-engine"))
            .using(project(":ReactAndroid:hermes-engine"))
            .because("On New Architecture we're building Hermes from source")
    }
}

Or follow the template and make sure is inside an if-then-else: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/5e537036954f01f5177b78dd7cd6454d6a5ae56e/template/android/app/build.gradle#L289-L303

hi @cortinico I want to use new architecture, to my understanding isNewArchitectureEnabled() function returns true, and the configurations.all code runs, since I have written

fun isNewArchitectureEnabled(): Boolean {
    return true
}

I though no need to write inside if block

hi @cortinico I want to use new architecture, to my understanding isNewArchitectureEnabled() function returns true, and the configurations.all code runs, since I have written

Ok then you should not comment out this section:

//    val reactAndroidProjectDir = project(':ReactAndroid').projectDir
//    val packageReactNdkLibs = tasks.register("packageReactNdkLibs", Copy) {
//        dependsOn(":ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck")
//        dependsOn("generateCodegenArtifactsFromSchema")
//        from("$reactAndroidProjectDir/src/main/jni/prebuilt/lib")
//        into("$buildDir/react-ndk/exported")
//    }
//
//    afterEvaluate {
//        preBuild.dependsOn(packageReactNdkLibs)
//        configureCMakeRelWithDebInfo.dependsOn(preReleaseBuild)
//        configureCMakeDebug.dependsOn(preDebugBuild)
//    }

Sorry I assumed you were on the old architecture due to those sections being commented.

Are you able to update to 0.69 successfully without turning on the New Architecture?

I am trying upgrade to 0.69 with new Architecture only, as the primary reason to upgrade was to use new architecture

Ok let me try two things

The code which you pointed out above to uncomment it and try
upgrade to 0.69 by keeping new Architecture false

upgrade to 0.69 by keeping new Architecture false

This should be the first thing to achieve. As the New Architecture is still experimental as mentioned on the website.

As you're in real specific brownfield setup and I believe something from your Android application it's conflicting with out setup (not sure what, need fruther investigation) -> It might be even worth to wait for 0.71 where we encapsulated a lot of the setup.

@cortinico I have created a reproducible demo

Upgrade to 0.69.7 by keeping newArchitecture disabled is working fine (you can check the changes for upgrade here https://github.com/sanjeevyadavIT/android-react-native-hybrid/pull/2)

And now I am stuck, can you please look into this

I am stuck on the same issue
