Task :react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a] FAILED for Android In empty project

[DigohD]

Description

We recently upgraded to latest React-Native (0.72.2) and upgraded Reanimated to 3.3.0. After this upgrade, we get the following error when running assembleDebug for Android:

Task :react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a] FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:                                                                      
Execution failed for task ':react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a]'.    
> Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx2048M

After failing to find a solution to the issue I created a brand new react native project with react-native-reanimated and tried building it for Android:

npx react-native init ReactNativeTest
cd ReactNativeTest
npm i react-native-reanimated
cd android
gradlew clean
gradlew assembleDebug

Also added to babel config.:

 plugins: [
    [
      'react-native-reanimated/plugin',
      {
        relativeSourceLocation: true,
      },
    ],
  ],

The same error occurs in the brand new project.

npx react-native run-android fails with the same error as assembleDebug.

Reanimated builds and runs as expected on iOS devices using Xcode.

Steps to reproduce

1. Init a new react native project
2. install reanimated using npm
3. clean and build for android

Hi @DigohD. I couldn't reproduce the error you mentioned - my android build works just fine on cloning the repo you provided.

Although looking at this:

Task :react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a] FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:                                                                      
Execution failed for task ':react-native-reanimated:configureCMakeDebug[arm64-v8a]'.

I think this might be architecture related. Do you have Rosetta installed on your machine?

[DigohD]

Hi! Thanks for the quick answer.

Pardon me, I forgot mentioning that I am working on a windows 11 machine. My colleague who also uses a PC encounter the same error when testing the repo I linked.

Edit: I will try on my home PC as well later tonight

[efstathiosntonas]

can you try with ndk 24.0.8215888?

[tjzel]

@DigohD I'm no expert in these things but we have a CI that uses windows-latest GitHub virtual machine. Maybe take a look at its config, especially that NDK @efstathiosntonas mentioned and see if there are any key differences compared to your machine.

[devnev]

Encountered a similar issue here: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-circleci-orb/issues/171 With some (ndk? sdk?) versions, the Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS output causes a failure. Removing _JAVA_OPTIONS from the environment will fix it.

[DigohD]

I reset my PC and reinstalled everything and now it works. I tried re-adding the _JAVA_OPTIONS variable just to check if that could be the issue I had before, and it indeed causes the error to come back.

I did not try ndk 24.0.8215888, but tried ndk 25 yesterday which did not solve the issue.

Thank you all for helping me out.

Remove _JAVA_OPTIONS in cimg/android on circleci and it works now Thank you

[Electromorphous]

This worked for me (Windows 10 | react-native 0.72.5 | react-native-reanimated 3.5.4)

cd android
./gradlew clean
cd ..
npm start -- --reset-cache

[Digital-Human-BK]

Check your JDK versions, in my case, I had JDK 11.0.18, and a simple update to version 11.0.20 solved all the problems. Don't forget to run yarn start --reset-cache before you try to build.

[Electromorphous]

I do not have JDK, only JRE. And I don't see what's wrong with what I said. I also suggested to clean the cache and run again, and I said that's what worked for me so it's worth a try. Never said it will solve everyone's problems.

[roots-ai]

Any updates here?

[tatiana-lonestone]

I've got the same error after trying to update one lib using reanimated, but after remove any change (come back to a previous version on my git project), I can not remove this error

can you try with ndk 24.0.8215888?

<= This fix my project build after a 10 min gradlew clean. I don't understand why, but this works. Thank's :)

And what is your react-native or reanimated or cmake version ?

[GaboRocker1992]

It's funny and absurd, but the issue is due to the project path being too long. I recommend copying or moving your project to c:\ or desktop. Delete the node_modules folder, run npm i, cd android & ./gradlew clean, and then build.

moving the project to a folder with a shorter path solved my problem. Yes it is funny and absurd but also very frustrating. I wasted a lot time to solve this issue.

[krendus]

installing the latest version of react-native-reanimated npm i react-native-reanimated@latest and then clearing the metro cache npm start -- --reset-cache fixed it for me

@GaboRocker1992 Hi, guy, you're just my super rock star and save my day! It costs me the whole day to fix this one! Who's gonna believe the root cause is a project folder with a long name?

This one is AMAAAAAZING!! Thanks a lot!

[iamnynvk]

Resolved by following steps

1. Remove build and .cxx folder in the android/app/ directory.
2. Run the command in terminal :
   • cd android && ./gradlew clean
3. Open gradle.properties files
4. newArchEnabled=false
5. Run the project :
   • cd .. && npm start -- --reset-cache
   • npm run android

Enable Bridgeless Mode

Bridgeless Mode

1. Enable Bridgeless flag in native

Android In your MainApplication.kt file, update the onCreate function by passing the bridglessEnabled = true flag to the load invocation.

// MyMainApplication.kt

import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.load

override fun onCreate() {
  ...
  if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {
    // Set bridgelessEnabled to true here to enable Bridgeless, it's false by default
-   load()
+   load(bridgelessEnabled = true)
  }
  ...
}

iOS

To enable Bridgeless for your React Native app, you need to override function bridgelessEnabled in app’s AppDelegate.mm:

// AppDelegate.mm

- (BOOL)bridgelessEnabled
{
    return YES;
}

2. Enable New Architectures

Open gradle.properties file newArchEnabled=true

FINALLY, Complete the configuration for Enable Bridgeless Mode.

try to install cmake with help of brew and update the rosseta. this thing worked for me

Haaaa, funny but true

[matsura]

What worked for me is running cd android and ./gradleW assembleDebug --stacktrace. This gave me the error stack trace which showed an IllegalStateException the cause of which was the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS env variable. So I unset it. After that an issue appeared about CMakeLists - this was caused by having env var _JAVA_OPTIONS set. Unset this well and it builds successfully!

[miallo]

Thank you everyone for figuring this out! Indeed unsetting JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS worked for us.

Question: does it make sense to reopen this issue, since AFAICT there is only a workaround, but the underlying issue seems to still exist :thinking:

[gharivand]

Most of the time you install react-native-reanimated for react-native-gesture-handler. My solution is to go to node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/package.json and install the same version that is installed in this package. in my case, that was "^2.3.1".

This worked for me too. Thank you so much @GaboRocker1992 .

2. Run the command in terminal :
   • cd android && ./gradlew clean
3. Open gradle.properties files
4. newArchEnabled=false
5. Run the project :
   • cd .. && npm start -- --reset-cache
   • npm run android

This worked for me. Not exactly related to native-reanimate, but same error on other library.

[yasirgit62]

installing the latest version of react-native-reanimated npm i react-native-reanimated@latest and then clearing the metro cache npm start -- --reset-cache fixed it for me

PROBLEM WAS IN THE NDK VERSION I WAS USING LATEST 27 BUT NOW USED 25

I encountered an error while updating my React Native project from version 0.72.x to 0.74.3. The project configuration includes:

React Native: 0.74.3 React Native Reanimated: ^3.14.0 Gradle: Updated from 7.5 to 8.7 Build Tool: Fastlane CI Environment: CircleCI Docker Image: cimg/android:2023.08.1-node Problem The project works fine on my local machine in development mode, and I can generate builds using Fastlane on my machine without any issues. However, when running the build job on CircleCI using bundle exec fastlane staging I encounter the following error:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or found a solution for this? Any steps or suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Can confirm unsetting _JAVA_OPTIONS fixes build issue. Surprising this is still an issue!

Get resolved after doing the below steps

1. Deleted node_module
2. gradlew clean
3. delete build folder if any in android
4. Close VS Code
5. Install node_module
6. Separately installed npm i react-native-reanimated@3.6.1
7. Build the project again.

Work like a charm!!! Happy Coding!

[cucereanum]

If you want to have the "new architecture" and "bridgeless" mode enabled, I resolved this by updating to "react-native:0.75.1" and "react-native-reanimated:3.15.0"

I used this as a reference: https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/tree/main/apps/fabric-example
