Description

The app used to work, but doesn't launch right now without any code changes.
The error I found using adb logcat *:E is:

Any ideas why com.facebook.infer.annotation.Assertions is not there?

If you are using instant run, you can try a clean build.

Have you been able to reproduce this on the latest release, 0.56?

[react-native-bot]

I am closing this issue because it does not appear to have been verified on the latest release, and there has been no followup in a while.

If you found this thread after encountering the same issue in the latest release, please feel free to create a new issue with up-to-date information by clicking here.

Hi @NameFILIP, I'm facing the same issue with my React Native app Android builds after the update to latest ExpoKit 31. Not exactly sure where it comes from, as nothing changed actually in Gradle build scripts. Were you able to fix the issue?

UPDATE: For those who were looking for a solution, meanwhile adding the compile 'com.facebook.infer.annotation:infer-annotation:+' into dependencies { ... } section of build.gradle from the module helped.

the above comment magically worked for me, my case, I edited build.gradle of react-native-gesture-handler
