[CRASH] Android 6.0.1 crashes with java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so #78
Description
I uploaded a release build to Google Play and they ran automated tests leading to a lot of crashes coming in with the following stack trace:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

Affected OS is always 6.0.1. Interestingly Hermes is not even enabled in my build.gradle:
project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.android.js",
enableHermes: false, // clean and rebuild if changing
bundleInDebug: false,
bundleInRelease: true,
root: "../../",
]
...
def enableHermes = project.ext.react.get("enableHermes", false);
...
// Hermes config
if (enableHermes) {
def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermesvm/android/";
debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
} else {
implementation jscFlavor
}
