React Native: Could not find method isNewArchitectureEnabled() for arguments on project :app - react-native

Question

Trying to run React native project on my new device Macbook Pro got following error.
My Device specification:
Note: The project was running properly in my previous intel chip device.
Got stuck with an error and could not found the proper solution, any help and suggestion will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If the project use React native version < 0.68.0, you consider first migrate the whole project to the newer like >= 0.68.
Run the following command to start the process of upgrading to the latest version:
npx react-native upgrade
You may specify a React Native version by passing an argument, e.g. to upgrade to 0.XX.X
documentation here link
if you have a react native version >= 0.68.0 go to the
app/build.gradle
and you need to change many things like:
old version
...
/*** Architectures to build native code for in debug.
*/
def nativeArchitectures = project.getProperties().get("reactNativeDebugArchitectures")
new version
/*** Architectures to build native code for in debug.
*/
def reactNativeArchitectures() {
def value = project.getProperties().get("reactNativeArchitectures")
return value ? value.split(",") : ["armeabi-v7a", "x86", "x86_64", "arm64-v8a"]
}
...
defaultConfig {
...
buildConfigField "boolean", "IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED", isNewArchitectureEnabled().toString()
if (isNewArchitectureEnabled()) {
// We configure the CMake build only if you decide to opt-in for the New Architecture.
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {

if (!enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture) {

}
if (isNewArchitectureEnabled()) {

externalNativeBuild {

}
def reactAndroidProjectDir = project(':ReactAndroid').projectDir

if (isNewArchitectureEnabled()) {
// If new architecture is enabled, we let you build RN from source
// Otherwise we fallback to a prebuilt .aar bundled in the NPM package.
// This will be applied to all the imported transtitive dependency.
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.dependencySubstitution {
substitute(module("com.facebook.react:react-native"))
.using(project(":ReactAndroid"))

def isNewArchitectureEnabled() {
// To opt-in for the New Architecture, you can either:
// - Set `newArchEnabled` to true inside the `gradle.properties` file
// - Invoke gradle with `-newArchEnabled=true`

return project.hasProperty("newArchEnabled") && project.newArchEnabled == "true" }
I hope this help you, for more information you can check the upgrade helper tool link
