RN 0.61 Android build fails

See original GitHub issue

This likely has to do with AndroidX or other things of which I am somewhat ignorant, but here’s what I can share:

I had react-native-reanimated working fine in my RN 0.60.5 app. Today I tried to upgrade to RN 0.61, and the Android build (via react-native run-android) stopped working. It gave an error message like this:

/.../android/app/build/generated/rncli/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/PackageList.java:37: error: package com.swmansion.reanimated does not exist
import com.swmansion.reanimated.ReanimatedPackage;
                               ^
/.../android/app/build/generated/rncli/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/PackageList.java:89: error: cannot find symbol
      new ReanimatedPackage(),
          ^
  symbol:   class ReanimatedPackage
  location: class PackageList
2 errors

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I examined the changes to the android directory of the RN template that occurred between 0.60.5 and 0.61, and this one looks relevant: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/25810

When I re-add the supportLibVersion line to my android/build.gradle, the build seems to work again. I’m not sure if this is proper or if it implies something is going wrong with the jetify process for this library.

}

Command used to run:

rm -rf node_modules && yarn && rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches/* && ./scripts/buildAndroidRelease.sh

I also get the same issue when updating react-native-reanimated to 1.4.0

I managed to fix this by adding this into my build.gradle

allprojects {
  tasks.withType(Javadoc).all { enabled = false }

Package	Version
react	16.13.1
react-native	0.63.4
react-native-reanimated	1.13.2

I removed the following lines from MainApplication.java and it worked for me!

import com.facebook.react.bridge.JSIModulePackage;
import com.swmansion.reanimated.ReanimatedJSIModulePackage;

@Override
protected JSIModulePackage getJSIModulePackage() {
  return new ReanimatedJSIModulePackage();
}
