React Native 0.63.3 Error "Program type already present" only in release build com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-safe-area-context" #3159

[yatishAgrawal]

Description

When we are excluding this react-native-safe-area-context inside the dependencies of Jitsi like this:

implementation ('org.jitsi.react:jitsi-meet-sdk:4.1.0') { exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage_async-storage' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-webview' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-splash-screen' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-device-info' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-community_clipboard' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-clipboard_clipboard' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-gesture-handler' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-reanimated' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-screens' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-safe-area-context' exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-masked-view_masked-view' transitive = true }

After that, we are getting the crash when it reaches the react-navigation in both APK release and debug if we remove the 'exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-safe-area-context' line then everything works fine in debug build but not able to generate the release apk.

You need to be using compatible versions of our dependencies. Please make sure they are within the same major version range at least. As an example, SDK 4.1.0 used RN 0.61.5, you can't just bump it to 0.63 and cross your fingers.

I recommend you update to SDK 5, which uses RN 0.66.

That aside, using our SDK (which is also built with RN) in an RN app is not a good idea. We are hoping to have a RN SDK as part of our GSoC program.

But in React Native 0.66 react-native-reanimated version is not working fine, please make this SDK comparable with react-native-reanimated 2 than

Why do you need reanimated 2? I've been pondering updating to it, but it's nontrivial.

Why do you need to reanimate 2? I've been pondering updating to it, but it's nontrivial.

Reanimated is required to use for the React-Navigation-Drawer, that's why I need a reanimate 2, and reanimate 1 is not supported on above react-native version 65.

We are using the drawer just fine in Jitsi Meet, with Reanimated v1 and react-native 0.67. What exact problem are you running into?

Failed to transform react-native-reanimated-67-jsc.aar we are facing this issue while running the application

[saghul]

That is Reanimated 2, which I already told you we don't currently support. v1 works just fine with the drawer and RN 0.67.

For reference, the drawer works with both v1 and v2: https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/blob/b1c421445ecb75d514ce27791433b12f9a7e75b7/packages/drawer/package.json#L68
