[Android] App crashes: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method koinApplication(Lkotlin/jvm/functions/Function1;)

[ilyagru]

If I add this library, the app crashes on launch. Everything is fine on iOS.

It might be related to expo/expo#29047.

Forcing koin:3.5.6 doesn't help

I'm trying to upgrade from expo 50 -> 51 and seeing this same issue on Android only.

On Expo 50 both platforms were fine.

My iOS app is running with expo 51, and helpscout is working there.

hacking around in a fork of this lib I've found that:

• staying on helpscout 5.0.2 causes build problems due to Error resolving plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings']
• upgrading to helpscout 5.1.2 causes build problems due to Error resolving plugin [id: 'com.facebook.react.settings']
• upgrading to helpscout 5.2.1 causes runtime crash described by the OP (No static method koinApplication...)
• upgrading to helpscout 6.0.1 causes build problems due to incompatible kotlin versions

I don't really know where to go from here ... any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi @steveliles, did you manage to find a solution for your case? I'm now having the same headache. 😅

Update: I managed to overcome this issue but patching the expo-dev-launcher as described here.
