Demo app not working

[ShivalThakur]

Hi,
When I try to run the app. It is getting crashed on startup. Logcat has the following logs.

Can you please help on this.

Thanks

I've just pushed a commit to master. I suggest you re-clone the demo repo and start from scratch.

What device and OS are you installing this on?

[ShivalThakur]

Hi,
I tried the latest code, but it does not work. I am installing it on Android emulator and Android 14.
Both has the same issue.

[christocracy]

Execute the following task:

$ cd android
$ ./gradlew app:dependencies

Capture all the output and paste into a text file. Attach the file here.

Have you made any modifications to the code after cloning this repo?

[christocracy]

• Are you running this in a simulator?
• What is your development machine's OS (Windows? Mac? Linux?)

• re you running this in a simulator?
• What is your development machine's OS (Windows? Mac? Linux?)

I am trying it on both simulator and real device.
My development machine is Windows.

Yes I had changes, as app was throwing some errors.

[christocracy]

Do not modify the code. Remove those changes! If there’s an error, send that to me.

I cloned it. Getting build failure.

[christocracy]

I just generated a fresh new HelloWorld app.

package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "react": "18.3.1",
    "react-native": "0.75.3"
  },

android/app/build.gradle

• notice there are none of those extra debugImplementation that you added for flipper, etc.

dependencies {
    // The version of react-native is set by the React Native Gradle Plugin
    implementation("com.facebook.react:react-android")

    if (hermesEnabled.toBoolean()) {
        implementation("com.facebook.react:hermes-android")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }
}

As for your error "Could not move temporary workspace - Error resolving plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings'] - java.io.UncheckedIOException", this seems to be a Windows issue. See if you can solve your problem (without modifying the demo app code) by following this thread:

From that thread, the RN folks have acknowledged a Windows issue with Gradle > 8.6:

Try the solution here. Let me know if it works and I'll downgrade to Gradle 8.6.
