Steps To Reproduce

I am unsure, it seems to be an intermittent crash that doesn’t really affect every user. I can only see this in google firebase crashlytics report, so far there have been 8 crashes of the same error on various android devices.

I have hermes enabled.

This is happening on my app, Entrepic http://entrepic.com/, and only on Android so far.

Here’s the complete error message:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

I don’t think android version has anything to do with this, I can see this happened to variety of devices:

• 1.0.17 (30) Android 4.1.2, LG K4 LTE, Apr 10, 2021, 4:55:13 PM
• 1.0.17 (30) Android 9, Pixel 3 XL, Apr 10, 2021, 2:44:42 PM, seems it happened 7 times on this device,
• 1.0.17 (30) Android 11, Pixel 3a, Apr 10, 2021, 12:05:36 AM, seems it happened 3 times on this device

For the meantime, what I tried is yarn add hermes-engine jsc-android, maybe that will change something? I’ll release this as soon as I can. So far, I have not experienced this happening on local development.

Also LGE Nexus 5X suffers same issue. But other devices are going well. I turned on hermes in Android.

• Motorola with android 9
