App started crashing with java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError

Description

Our app started crashing unexpectedly since a few days ago. Note the versions mentioned below. We haven’t changed anything since a few years, at least 😄 So I’m bamboozled with the error. Halp!

• react-native-reanimated version - 1.13.4
• react-native version - 0.63.4

So I did this using patch-package and it seems to have fixed it for now. Will post more updates if needed.

node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/build.gradle -

-    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'  // From node_modules
+    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:0.63.4'  // From node_modules

UPDATE:

• This is fixed by react-native team. I removed this patch and just upgraded react-native to 0.63.5.
