Depending on [email protected] and @react-native-firebase/crashlytics together causes build failure when on New Architecture

[tibbe]

I've been tracking down a build failure that only happens when on the New Architecture (i.e. RN 0.77.1). After much investigation I've concluded that the issues happens when

• on the New Architecture,
• using [email protected],
• using @react-native-firebase/crashlytics/[email protected], and
• having nativeSymbolUploadEnabled enabled, as per https://rnfirebase.io/crashlytics/android-setup.

The full error is at invertase/react-native-firebase#8393 (comment) but the short of it is:

I'm guessing react-native-contacts is doing something wrong when it comes to the New Architecture, possibly related to codegen. If you check out https://github.com/benetics-ag/RNFBRepro, add [email protected], and run npx react-native build-android --mode=release --verbose you can see the failure. If you again remove [email protected] (and clean up e.g. node_modules/ and everything else) it builds again.
