Sorry if this question will be a bit too general, but I only hope that someone more experienced than me in react-native and Android can help me with this problem that I now encounter very often.
In fact, I haven't been able to correctly install packages containing native code in my react-native project for a while. The last native package that I successfully installed, not without many problems, it was @react-native-community/google-signin (I think, however, that this is not relevant for this problem)
All the other packages I installed afterwards gave me errors after the installation and I was forced to give up all of these. Initially I thought it was a problem of the individual packages (in fact, as soon as I removed them the app would start working again). Of course, I now have the necessary experience to say that it is a problem shared by all packages containing native code.
Initially I also thought it could be a yarn workspace error, and for this reason, for pre-education, I added all the packages that contain native code in the nohoist list:
"workspaces": {
"nohoist": [
"react-native",
"react-native/**",
"@react-native-mapbox-gl",
"@react-native-mapbox-gl/**",
"react-native-gesture-handler",
"react-native-gesture-handler/**",
"react-native-reanimated",
"react-native-reanimated/**",
"@react-navigation",
"@react-navigation/**",
"react-native-safe-area-context",
"react-native-safe-area-context/**",
"react-native-vector-icons",
"react-native-vector-icons/**",
"react-native-pose",
"react-native-pose/**",
"@react-native-community",
"@react-native-community/**",
"react-native-elements",
"react-native-elements/**",
"react-native-snackbar",
"react-native-snackbar/**"
]
}
Today I tried to install two more packages that I needed: react-native-secure-storage and react-native-snackbar; however I was unable to install them. Like the others, after the installation through yarn or npm, the app is no longer able to start. For example for package react-native-snackbar, iget the following error when starting the app:
Task :app:mergeDexDebug FAILED

I don't have enough development experience with android to understand what the problem is, but I think there is a good chance that it is connected to the migration to AndroidX.
In my project the version of react-native that I am using is 0.62.2.
