Written by Gemini:
I'm encountering persistent CMake errors when trying to build my React Native 0.78.0 Android app (npx react-native start + a ). The errors consistently point to missing jni directories within several packages, specifically u/react-native-async-storage/async-storage, react-native-gesture-handler, and react-native-reanimated.
The error message is: add_subdirectory given source "..." which is not an existing directory.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Checked NDK and CMake installations (versions seem correct).
Cleaned Gradle and rebuilt the project.
Invalidated Android Studio caches.
Inspected the CMake output log (no immediate errors related to compiler/linker).
Verified that the React Native version is 0.78.0, and understand the react 19 dependancy changes.
Inspected the autolinking files, and confirmed that the paths are incorrect.
Confirmed that some of the packages should contain jni folders, and some packages may not.
The problem seems to be related to the autolinking process and the presence/absence of jni directories in these dependencies. I'm struggling to pinpoint the exact cause.
My package.json:
Steps to reproduce
Provided by Gemini:
npm install (or yarn install)
Ensure these packages are included in your package.json dependencies:
@react-native-async-storage/async-storage
react-native-gesture-handler
react-native-reanimated
Attempt an Android Build:
npx react-native run-android
Observe the Error:
The build will fail with CMake errors, specifically:
add_subdirectory given source "..." which is not an existing directory.
Errors related to missing jni directories within @react-native-async-storage/async-storage, react-native-gesture-handler, and react-native-reanimated.
Inspection of the following file:
Inspect android/app/build/generated/autolinking/src/main/jni/Android-autolinking.cmake and observe that the paths to the jni folders are incorrect.
Inspection of the node_modules:
Inspect the node_modules folder, and observe that some of the folders that the autolinking file is looking for, do not exist.
Additional Tips:
Provide package.json: Include a snippet of your package.json file, especially the dependencies section, so others can see the exact versions of your packages.
Specify Target Device/Emulator: If the problem is specific to a particular device or emulator, mention that.
Clear and Concise: Keep the steps as straightforward as possible.
Formatting: Use code blocks (```) to format commands and code snippets for readability.
By providing these detailed steps, you'll make it much easier for people to understand and reproduce your issue, increasing your chances of getting helpful responses.
