My version of react-native,react-native-cli, react-native-firebase all packages is the same as a project required.

Answer 1

If you are using React-Native 0.60+ make sure to use.

npx jetify

From the project root directory.

Answer 2

This a very absurd issue with react native 0.60+ coz it wants the jetifier to be installed.

So i resolved it by first installing jetifier , you can use yarn or npm.

yarn add jetifier 

or

npm jetifier 

then after that you should execute npx jetify

Answer 3

Probably a late answer but I ran into the same error today and this is how i resolved it

before running ./gradlew assembleRelease you need to run npx jetify

The above command converts android.support.v4.app.* package into androidx.core.app.* which helps build to be compile.

Answer 4

As the other answers stated for react native 0.60+ you should have jetifier installed

    npm jetifier

I have it set as a postinstall script in my package.json, so this is done everytime npm install is done.

     "postinstall": "npx jetify"

In addition, in your app/build.gradle make sure you have

def jscFlavor = 'org.webkit:android-jsc:+'

def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);

dependencies {
    ...

    if (enableHermes) {
        // for RN 0.60.x
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermesvm/android/"


        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }
}

Answer 5

Simple use below commands.Enable jetifier in react-native project.

1. npm install --save-dev jetifier/yarn add --dev jetifier

2. npx jetify/yarn run jetify

3. npx react-native run-android.

Answer 6

You can fix this issue like this:

1. Install Jetifier:

   yarn add --dev jetifier

2. Launch Jetifier via this command:

   yarn run jetify

Here we go !
