I am working on an old React Native app and want to upgrade RN version from version ^0.64.2 to 0.70.1. After using command npx react-native upgrade, there are changes in number version of dependencies. I also edit build.gradle in andriod\app folder as instructed in this document:
project.ext.react = [
enableHermes: true // clean and rebuild if changing
]
...
dependencies {
...
if (enableHermes) {
def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
debugImplementation files(hermesPath "hermes-debug.aar")
releaseImplementation files(hermesPath "hermes-release.aar")
} else {
implementation jscFlavor
}
...
}
After that, I run command ./gradlew clean in android folder and run npx react-native run-android. Then this error shows up:
BUILD FAILED in 9s
error Failed to install the app. Make sure you have the Android development environment set up: https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup.
Error: Command failed: gradlew.bat app:installDebug -PreactNativeDevServerPort=8081
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Failed to transform hermes-debug.aar to match attributes {artifactType=android-aar-metadata}.
> Execution failed for JetifyTransform: D:\{ProjectFolder}\node_modules\hermes-engine\android\hermes-debug.aar.
> Transform's input file does not exist: D:\{ProjectFolder}\node_modules\hermes-engine\android\hermes-debug.aar. (See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/158753935)
After taking a while, I also found out that there is no hermes-engine folder inside node_modules folder but still have no clue what to do.

Update: The error still occur after I edited package.json and use npm install to add hermes-engine. Here are the errors:

CodePudding user response：
Try to add this to your package.json and npm install again with --legacy-peer-deps option:
"dependencies": {
"hermes-engine": "^0.11.0",
},
CodePudding user response：
I'm also upgrading RN version to 0.70.1, from 0.69.x you have some changes to do in app/build.gradle about hermes.
...
if (enableHermes) {
implementation("com.facebook.react:hermes-engine: ") {
exclude group: 'com.facebook.fbjni'
}
} else {
implementation jscFlavor
}

I am also interested about this issue, the same thing is happening for me, I already checked the Upgrade Helper, and I am upgrading from 0.68.5 to 0.70.1.
I still haven't turned on the NEW_ARCHITECTURE flag.
Installing hermes-engine package seems like not a good solution, since the upgrade steps doesn't mention that it should be done.
