This is my logrocket version:

"@logrocket/react-native": "1.6.2",

Answer 1

Just started getting the same issue on native Android today.

Could not resolve com.google.protobuf:protobuf-javalite:{strictly [3.0, 4.0[; prefer 3.19.1}. Required by: project :app > com.logrocket:logrocket:1.11.0 > Could not resolve com.google.protobuf:protobuf-javalite:3.22.0-RC1. > Could not parse POM https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protobuf-javalite/3.22.0-RC1/protobuf-javalite-3.22.0-RC1.pom > Could not find com.google.protobuf:protobuf-parent:3.22.0-RC1.

Tried upping and downgrading logrocket version, checking out a commit in my project from when it was still working, etc, but it's still bugged. Seems like an issue from logrocket.

Answer 2

Yea, tried setting protobuf version between 3.0 to 4.0, cleared cache, re-built the app, still no luck. Disabled log-rocket for now, till a solution is found.

Answer 3

Caused by protobuf issue: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/issues/11719

For anyone affected by this due to the LogRocket SDK, the LogRocket team has stated that they are attempting to mitigate the issue from their side.

Answer 4

I spoke with LogRocket support about this and they just got back and said they've released version 1.11.1 which tightens up the dependency on protobuf and fixes this. Release notes here: https://docs.logrocket.com/docs/mobile-sdk-changelog#1111-2023-01-31

Answer 5

It seems like that version is broken. There needs to be someone on their team to fix their dependency, but on the meantime you can override the version of protobuf-javalite that it is using.

Our team has found a hotfix open /node_modules/@logrocket/react-native/android/build.gradle

and make this change

        version {
            strictly '[3.0, 21['
        }
    }

Answer 6

I was also facing the same issue from past one day. Changing the version strictly [3.0, 4.0[ to strictly '3.19.1'in Firebase in Nodemodules->logRocket->android->build.gradle and creating a patch package for it worked for me now.
