I can't run npx react-native run-android --variant=release after installing react-native-firebase packages

[emadbaqeri]

I have installed and tested the react-native-firebase tools in my react-native project everything was working fine until I decide to run the
commend,

npx react-native run-android --variant=release

for testing my app before releasing it to the store.

Describe your issue here
While I'm trying to install the debug version of the application on the phone and test the app everything works fine but while I'm trying to run the app in production mode I mean release variant mode to test, it fails while I'm running the npx react-native run-android --variant=release

Hi there!
A couple things -
1- not sure why you wouldn't include the error message? It means I can't really help https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask
2- not sure why you'd release a new app but base it on react-native 0.64? We're on 0.67.x now https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/

I run a release build of react-native-firebase as part of testing really frequently, so you'll have to post a minimal reproducible repro of the failure or I have to assume this is a non-actionable project-specific problem that won't result in a change to the module

-- test: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/5832610cea363bba18be94d08f49c0e846bdfb0d/make-demo.sh#L242
-- general repro guidance https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example

If you can produce a minimal reproducible example with an android release build failure of course we can reopen, otherwise hopefully the make-demo script helps a bit in generating a project that works, so you can see maybe where your project is having problems

Hey @mikehardy, sorry I just forgot to include the error this is the whole out put from while I'm running the command,

And actually, I'm using react-native@0.64.0.
Should I update the react-native package?

[mikehardy]

With apologies,

Could not find lifecycle-runtime-2.2.0.jar (androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-runtime:2.2.0).

This has nothing to do with this module, it looks like you have some sort of local network issue. My answer stands with regard to frequent testing on this type of build, and that you have a local problem. There is not anything we can do here to help.

Should I update the react-native package?

You should aim to be on the current stable version as a general goal, all the time. react-native 0.64 does not even compile with Xcode 13, I'm not sure why anyone would use a version that old. I would not stay on that version, personally.

[emadbaqeri]

@mikehardy What kind of local network issue it could be?

[mikehardy]

@emadbaqeri this does not have to do with this module so I won't have the time to reply further, but I can say that you should find results on that type of error via standard web searches and/or stackoverflow - I myself have seen questions and answers for similar items and the guidance there will be helpful.
