I am building a React-Native application, everything worked fine until I decided to upgrade from version 0.59.x to v 0.61.5.
When I try to release my app in the play store, I've got a lot of crashes reported by Firebase Crashlytics (v 6.2.0) -- even though my version is just available for internal testing, so it must be a pre-launch report triggered by playstore -- and it's exactly the same error for the exact same device =>LGE Nexus 5X with android 6.0.1.
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so at com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized(SoLoader.java) at com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized(SoLoader.java) at com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized(SoLoader.java) at com.facebook.soloader.SoLoader.assertInitialized(SoLoader.java) at com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutor.<clinit>(HermesExecutor.java) at com.facebook.hermes.reactexecutor.HermesExecutorFactory.create(HermesExecutorFactory.java) at com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager$5.run(ReactInstanceManager.java) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:818)To solved this problem, I tried to submit multiple version with slightly different android configuration (for instance with and without hermes enable) but it doesn't change the end result.
Here is my build.gradle file :

But no solutions described here were worked for me.
Also found this thread on stackoverflow: React-Native :java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so : the error seems to be slightly different from mine, but solutions didn't work.
I'm afraid to release my new version into production and I'm totally stuck. Need fast help :)
