I don't know since it's reported from firebase crashlytics

Not sure how we're supposed to help you here then. We would need a stable reproducer as otherwise this is impossible to debug in any form

[jaswant0605]

Same just happened to me

Here are the crash logs. Only crashes on some devices when downloaded from play store

Download from Playstore and crashes for Android 12 and below on app launch. 13 and above work fine

[buraks]

same here, about 5% of the Android users started to see this crash. So far we have seen this crash coming from Android 9, 10, 11, 12.

This is what Play Store gives:

backtrace:
  #00  pc 0x00000000000567b8  /system/lib64/libandroidfw.so (android::LoadedPackage::FindEntryByName(std::__1::basic_string<char16_t, std::__1::char_traits<char16_t>, std::__1::allocator<char16_t> > const&, std::__1::basic_string<char16_t, std::__1::char_traits<char16_t>, std::__1::allocator<char16_t> > const&) const+584)

This is what we see on Crashlytics:

I am not entirely sure if this is React Native related or another SDK. To help people narrow it down, can people who observe this crash in production share their common libraries?

We are using:

• react-native 0.76.7
• Firebase (analytics, crashlytics etc)
• react-native-google-mobile-ads

Proguard is enabled.

[jaswant0605]

Found a workaround.

Rename your android folder to something like android_old (Don’t delete it as you’ll need so migrate resources later on)

Now do
yarn add react-native-eject

Now
npx react-native eject

This will create a fresh android folder

Migrate your configurations from the android_old if required

Build the aab from the newly created android folder.

Push app to the play store and it won’t crash.

Still don’t know what the issue is but this seem to have fixed it for now.

One thing to note is that I was using react-native-keychain but I also removed it. Don't know if that was the reason.

We have this problem too since yesterday, after a simple update. This might be related as it describes the same situation:
