App Crashes - On upgrading to Android 14(SDK 34)

[ShaminiSaravanan]

Description

Currently, my codebase supports Android 13 (SDK version: 33). I wanted to upgrade to SDK 33(Android 14)

On Android 14 updates, the following changes have been made:

kotlinVersion = "1.6.0"
buildToolsVersion = "34.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 23
compileSdkVersion = 34
targetSdkVersion = 34

My current React Native version is 0.70.8.

However, upon launching the application, I encountered an issue where the App Crashes immediately on the launch. To investigate this, I pulled a Bug Report, which provided the following insights:

1. Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Requested enabled DevSupportManager, but BridgeDevSupportManager class was not found or could not be created.
2. Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: : One of RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED should be specified when a receiver isn't being registered exclusively for system broadcasts.
3. Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
4. Caused by: android.os.RemoteException: Remote stack trace.

React Native Version

0.70.8

⚠️

Newer Version of React Native is Available!

ℹ️

You are on a supported minor version, but it looks like there's a newer patch available - 0.70.14. Please upgrade to the highest patch for your minor or latest and verify if the issue persists (alternatively, create a new project and repro the issue in it). If it does not repro, please let us know so we can close out this issue. This helps us ensure we are looking at issues that still exist in the most recent releases.

I wanted to stick with React Version 0.70.8, as my code runs for both Android and iOS.

In my project, 0.70.8 is compatible for both iOS and Android

Thanks for the issue. Consider that, as soon as we will release 0.73 as stable (ETA: end Nov/start Dec) we are not going to support 0.70 anymore. Hopefully, this gives you some time to plan the migration to the latest version.

Hi there! 👋

I'm still experiencing the problem, and any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If there's any additional information I can provide to help with debugging or if there's a specific way you'd like me to test something, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Have a look at this conversation: reactwg/react-native-releases#84 (comment)

We tried to add support for new version of Android in 0.70, but that's not possible unfortunately.
If you need to support new Android SDK and Android 14, you have to update to a newer version of React Native.

Hi cipolleschi, here i am using recent version of react-native(72.6) and android target version 34. But i am still facing the same issue.
I have found one solution related to RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED and I have applied check for android 14(34).
Link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77235063/one-of-receiver-exported-or-receiver-not-exported-should-be-specified-when-a-rec
But still have same issue. I don't how to get out of this problem.

I'm closing this issue as related to React Native 0.70 (which is no longer supported).
The author hasn't provided a reproducer also.
