Answer 1

I got an error like this when setting targetSdk version to 30 it's happening because of okhttp version and fixed it by using the latest version

implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.9.1")
implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:4.9.1")

add this in your android/app/build.gradle

Where in the bundle should I add this? – Gargan

The way is not update the okhttp version. Just update react-native version. This issue was solved in github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/29741 To update react-native version you can use: npx react-native upgrade – Meier

@RogerCruz you should add this in your android/app/build.gradle, I have mentioned this in the answer – Clovah

@JulianCorrêa, This issue was happening in the latest stable react native, You have mentioned about an old PR which was increasing okhttp to version 3 but with this issue you need to increase it to version 4 – Clovah

@Clovah About the PR, you're right. So, I build a app and sent to production a few days ago using RN 0.66.3, and this issue was solved. I didnt any change about okhttp. Change the version of libs that are used inside of core of react is not a good solution, but some times its necessary, in this case you must inform that solution is temporary, palliative. Am I wrong? I just test (debug and release) right now a fresh new project on my Device with Android 11 and there is no crash anymore. – Meier

For me works with implementation("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.9.2") – Cairn

This answer has been provided by manohar-octifi (github discussion):

If you are using @sentry/react-native and the version is lower than 2.0.0, then update the version to 2.0.0 or higher (I updated to 2.2.0). This should fix the problem.
