C++ Exception in 'nativeRequireModuleConfig' about react-native-device-info HOT 11 CLOSED

i fixed it temporarily by replacing
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+'
with
compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.1') { force = true; }
in node_modules/react-native-device-info/android/build.gradle file

from react-native-device-info.

similar error here
C++ Exception in 'nativeRequireModuleConfig': java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Method 'void android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat.<init>()' is inaccessible to class 'com.google.android.gms.iid.zzd' (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.iid.zzd' appears in /data/app/com.myapp-1/base.apk)

The same error appears on my phone with android 6.0.1
I installed the support Libraries:

Am I missing some SDK?

another error, simply by including the project in the build makes the debug mode in chrome crash

from react-native-device-info.

@abdallahm solution does not work for me, any other idea on how to solve this?

temporary fixes such as modifying the package are no good for me, since build is done remotely.

as mentioned by @L3V147H4N this only crashes on debug builds, release builds seem to build just fine

Getting same error as @alfonsodev on release builds. @abdallahm solution fixed it for me.

Hi I am getting the same error but the solution did not work for me any other idea on how to solve this?

from react-native-device-info.

I wasted a day on this and just got it fixed up. In case it helps anyone - mine was all about the compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+' ...like abdallahm was saying.

You will only need to change these lines in the build.gradle of their respective package, not the main project build gradle.

Mine originally looked like this:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.3'

I changed it to this:
compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.1') ..note the brackets and new version:

I also had some other packages in my project that were using things like (this is a package that includes a map):
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.3'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.3'

So I changed them to:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.1' ..just changed the version
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.1'

Also, if you use compile this line in any packages, make sure the version number matches:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'

Sync -Clean - Make Project - Run and bask in the glory!

@CodyMcArthur if you change it on their respective projects it will only work on your machine, next time you install the dependencies (or on other peoples machines) you won't have the changes, or am I understanding this incorrectly?

Documented how to disable com.google.android.gms in the troubleshooting section.
Will probably be dropped with next BC breaking release.

Closing this old issue that was about something else.
