My react-native and jetifier versions

"jetifier": "1.6.4",

I removed node_modules and install again and it didn’t help. I did cd android && ./gradlew clean and it didn’t help. I could not to find a similar issue. Any help?

That should not be happening, this line brings in the dependency: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/blob/85a04982d01ee7fef811bb255a8880714bb262a6/android/build.gradle#L51

And I don’t reproduce the problem with local builds, nor has anyone else reported. Not saying there isn’t something subtle wrong, or that there might be a need for documentation, but I think this will end up being something about your project (my first guess would be an unclean build - same as you were thinking with the gradle cleans). 🤔

that is relatively baffling, I don’t have any off-the-cuff thoughts on it. Your exclude shouldn’t factor / the dependency should work. 🤔 🤷 😩
