Detox build error: More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'

[sxqnicholas96]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build Detox tests for ReactNative project for android and it’s throwing this error

> Task :react-native-pdf:transformNativeLibsWithMergeJniLibsForDebugAndroidTest FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-pdf:transformNativeLibsWithMergeJniLibsForDebugAndroidTest'.
> More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so'
After doing some research adding this block of code in app/build.gradle should’ve helped

android {
packagingOptions {
pickFirst '/libjsc.so'
pickFirst '/libc++_shared.so'
}
}
However for some reason, gradlew assembleAndroidTest is not using the packagingOptions to run its build which then results in More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/x86/libc++_shared.so error.

Anyone knows a workaround for this?
