Ejected bare application crashes instantly after build

Expo Development Tools
1

Hello,

I ejected my project into the bare workflow(Expo version: 38) and I can’t get it to run. It builds properly but when the application starts it crashes instantly with the following error(from logcat):

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application com.testApp.MainApplication: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.testApp.MainApplication" on path: DexPathList

Full error here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ySjtPMMjSw/

I’ve tried it on both android emulator(Android 10+) and real device(Android 7.1.1) with the same results.

Apparently I can post a maximum of 2 links so here is a link with links:

AndroidManifest.xml, build.gradle, MainApplication.java, android folder structure, app.json, package.json: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k4D8BmzNCR/

I’ve spent hours on this and I have no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated I’m at my wits’ end.

Thank you!

edit few hours later

I figured error might be due to camelcase in package name so I the redid whole process with name com.testapp and now im getting following error:

I tried cleaning the project, renaming the unejected expo project then ejecting again, and it’s still the same.

I solved it.
Problem was that the package name was in camelCase com.testApp. Updating to gradle-6.6 in gradle-wrapper.properties and removing import com.facebook.react.BuildConfig; in MainApplication.java made is build successfully.
