android getting error at run time More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libjsc.so'

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libjsc.so'

Me too! Versions:"react": "16.9.0", "react-native": "0.61.5",

I have tried this solution, but it didn't work.

[jayeshgurudayalani]

@aca-hakan-pinar I had faced same and applied given solution and it is working . can you post error stack trace and gradle file where you applied solution

[ferhatsal]

I've faced the same and found the solution ( at least it woked for me : )

add android/app/build.gradle file into andorid : {.....} section this :

    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
    }

then use "gradlew clean" ( without cleaning it causes a different error )

Here is my fix, in android/app/build.gradle

android {
  packagingOptions {
    pickFirst '**/libjsc.so'
  }
}

    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libjsc.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libjsc.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
    }

then use "gradlew clean" ( without cleaning it causes a different error )

So I used almost the same packagingOptions, can confirm that this is working

   packagingOptions {
        pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
        pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
    }

@WilcoBreedt , I used this on my app/build.gradle file. Now Build Succeed. But when app open it will crash. My React-native Version is 0.61.5

packagingOptions { pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so' pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so' }

[WilcoBreedt]

@aslu2183 I also had a new error the first time, have you tried running gradlew clean? This will get rid of previous build artifacts that can cause errors

[aslu2183]

@WilcoBreedt , Yes i ran gradlew clean. But same problem happens. But in React native Version 0.63.4 its working fine when adding Packaging Options and App Not Crashing. Problem in Version 0.61.5

[WilcoBreedt]

@aslu2183 Maybe attempt to downgrade your version of react-native-pdf. I am not sure if that could fix it for you.

[aslu2183]

@WilcoBreedt Ok,thank you for your kind information

[Ilphrin]

Hello! Having the same issue here, though not with libjsc.so, @ferhatsal's solution seems to work but is there any plans to fix this issue ?

but same issue

[mklb]

Works

packagingOptions {
    pickFirst '**/libc++_shared.so'
    pickFirst '**/libfbjni.so'
}

[codal-mpawar]

Now Build Succeed. But when the app opens it will crash.

Works

packagingOptions {

[rutul-mehta]

@codal-mpawar Did you find any solution? I am facing the same issue

[h-assefi]

Same problem here. it builds but the app crashes

[ALI-SAMPSON]

Same problem here

[codal-mpawar]

Please try with this it's working fine in my device.

packagingOptions {
        pickFirst "**/libc++_shared.so"
        resources.excludes.add("META-INF/*")
    }

The above scheme using packagingOptions - pickFirst is undoubtedly useful （上述使用packagingOptions - pickFirst的方案毫无疑问是有用的）

But I would like to recommend another similar solution to solve multiple "libc++_shared.so" files, which may be more controllable than the current "android-installation" solution （但是我想推荐另一个类似的，解决多个"libc++_shared.so"文件的方案，可能比现在的"android-installation"中方案更可控）

In my project：react-native 0.68.x at the same time：

1. react-native-pdf
2. react-native-vlc-media-player

Both the above two third-party libraries and react-native itself have "libc++_shared.so" files, and there may even be three competitions at the same time （上述两个第三方库和react-native本身都存在"libc++_shared.so"文件，甚至会同时有3个竞争）

In react-native-vlc-media-player的README, a gradle-task is introduced to control which "libc++_shared.so" file should be kept （react-native-vlc-media-player的README中，介绍了一个gradle-task，目的是可以控制应该保留哪个"libc++_shared.so"文件）

As mentioned in the introduction of README, if the "libc++_shared.so" file of react-native-vlc-media-player is not used, the app may crash （如README的介绍所说，如果不使用react-native-vlc-media-player的"libc++_shared.so"文件，app会存在crash可能）

In other cases, it will also become: "couldn't find DSO to load: libjscexecutor.so" （其他情况下，也会变成："couldn't find DSO to load: libjscexecutor.so"）

When using pickFirst to solve, it seems that there is no certain "certainty" （而使用pickFirst来解决时，似乎并没有一定的"确定性"）

And this gradle-task can also be extended to be used by other so files （而且这个gradle-task也可以扩展，以为其他so文件使用）

android/app/build.gradle

// packagingOptions {
//   pickFirst 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
//   pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so'
//   pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so'
//   pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so'
// }

tasks.whenTaskAdded {
    Task mapTask -> {
        // when task is 'mergeLocalDebugNativeLibs' or 'mergeLocalReleaseNativeLibs'
        if (mapTask.name.contains("merge") && mapTask.name.contains("NativeLibs")) {
            tasks.named(mapTask.name) {
                MergeNativeLibsTask needUpdateMergeNativeLibsTask -> doFirst {
                    needUpdateMergeNativeLibsTask.externalLibNativeLibs

                        .stream()
                        // for React Native 0.71, the file value now contains "jetified-react-android" instead of "jetified-react-native"
                        //  react-native-pdf - jetified-PdfiumAndroid

                                        || needMarkExternalLibNativeLibsDirectory.toString().contains("jetified-PdfiumAndroid")
                        )
                        .map(needMarkExternalLibNativeLibsDirectory -> needMarkExternalLibNativeLibsDirectory.toPath())
                        .forEach(needRemoveNotNeedSoFileDirectoryPath -> {
                            java.nio.file.Files.walk(needRemoveNotNeedSoFileDirectoryPath).forEach(notNeedSoFilePath -> {
                                if (notNeedSoFilePath.toString().contains("libc++_shared.so")) {
                                    java.nio.file.Files.delete(notNeedSoFilePath);
                                }
                            })
                        });
                }
            }
        }
    }
