I am at the very beginning of a project.

android version is 9

I’m having the same issue, how can I paste the error, it just came the message ‘Keeps Stops’ in the simulator?

Have you tried adding this to your gradle.properties.
android.enableDexingArtifactTransform.desugaring=false

Also the latest React Native has issues with Flipper causing crashes.
Best to stay with version 0.61.5 for now to be honest.

Getting this when upgrading to RN 0.62.2, I’m guessing it’s the Flipper related crash @8BallBomBom is talking about.

You can reproduce in this fork of my minimal example

Have you tried adding what i said to your gradle.properties file?
That should fix the issue as that crash is related to an updated gradle version.

The other crashing issue related to Flipper seems to hit random new and old Android devices.

This solution works for me.

Thanks for the PR @8BallBomBom!

I just wanted to help isolate the issue since I don’t know too much about android internals. It does seem to be stemming from the react-native-webrtc package, since this workaround isn’t needed for other projects not using this dep.

I’ll probably hold off on updating the example project for a bit in hopes that a fix will be found. The maintainers of this package are awesome btw!

For everyone else, here’s a bit more info:
