🔥Unable to run Android in v6 - RN v0.61.2

[dan-fein]

I am running Firebase v6. I upgraded to React Native v0.61.2 and I can't build the Android dev environment. The current error that I'm receiving appears to be related to dex but I have it enabled and believe I've done what the Q&A across the web suggests. Hoping someone can spot the issue below.

I've tried a lot of combinations of things, and the below is just the latest.

The error is:

• [x] my application is an AndroidX application?
• [x] I am using android/gradle.settings jetifier=true for Android compatibility?

I don't believe this has anything to do with react-native-firebase

The error has to do with google signin Maybe it is auto-linking and you are including it directly so it shows up twice?

I must have searched 5 files 90 times each in search of duplicates, it was the same package with two names in package.json. Mike Hardy you're the legend! Thank you!

[mikehardy]

glad that worked!

[Sc4ramouche]

Hej, in my case it was due to having @react-native-firebase/app along with deprecated react-native-google-analytics-bridge in my package.json. Hope this helps.

[ruudkalis]

Thanks Mike this did the job for me too! In my case I had a deprecated version of react-native-community/voice called react-native-voice.

[mikehardy]

Always glad to hear success - the RN59->RN60+ upgrade with switch to autolinking really is/was a bear. Fantastic once done though. Good luck everyone.
