React Native App Stuck On Jetify in dev mode - react-native

Question

I'm trying to migrate my app on 0.60, but it keeps getting stuck on jetify process.
Basically, after this line:
info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag.
It's just stuck and does nothing. And I need jetifier for react-native-firebase and some other native libraries. Any suggestions?
Update
It seems the problem is in symlinks. I'm using Lerna.

Answer 1

There is also one more situation when the npx react-native run-android stucks at jetifying state
If you run npm run android it'll start the metro server as well,
However, to re-run npm run android, you need to close the metro command window and allow npm run android to start a new metro server

Answer 2

In the end what I did was rewriting a jetify specifying which modules I need to jetify.
My jetify index.js:
const {fork} = require('child_process');
const {join} = require('path');
const {getClassesMapping, readDir, chunk} = require('./src/utils');
const cpus = require('os').cpus().length;
const arg = process.argv.slice(2)[0];
const mode = arg && (arg === 'reverse' || arg === '-r') ? 'reverse' : 'forward';
const SEARCH_DIRS = [
........modules here
];
const classesMapping = getClassesMapping();
for (const SEARCH_DIR of SEARCH_DIRS) {
const files = readDir(SEARCH_DIR);
console.log(
`Jetifier found ${
files.length
} file(s) to ${mode}-jetify. Using ${cpus} workers...`,
);
for (const filesChunk of chunk(files, cpus)) {
const worker = fork(join(__dirname, 'src', 'worker.js'));
worker.send({filesChunk, classesMapping, mode});
}
}
And postinstall in package.json:
"postinstall": "cp ./jetify.js ./node_modules/jetifier/index.js"
