I think this is more of an Android issue.

Adding this in your app/build.gradle should fix it :

android {
    packagingOptions {
        jniLibs {
            useLegacyPackaging = true
        }
    }
}

can anyone confirm this ?

tried this, seems the issue wasn't fixed. Got the same Crashlytics report after using this solution

It seems to be an issue only on ROOTED devices.
Check if you have xp0sed in the logs, or if crashlytics flags the device as rooted.

I dont think we can do much against heavily modified rooted devices.

No, all devices that encountered this error are not rooted.

[dimlksiin-tech]

android/app/build.gradle

packaging {
    jniLibs {
        useLegacyPackaging = true
    }
}

починилось, крашей больше нет !!!

[dimlksiin-tech]

Думаю, это скорее проблема Android.
Добавление этого в ваш файл app/build.gradle должно решить проблему:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        jniLibs {
            useLegacyPackaging = true
        }
    }
}

Может кто-нибудь это подтвердить?

I checked - it's true, there are no crashes

// checked and it works
packaging {
jniLibs {
useLegacyPackaging = true
}
}

packaging

packagingOptions - old

[iAndrew25]

any updates?
