liboboe.so not found at runtime

[shanhassan06]

Description

I’m getting the following runtime error when initializing react-native-audio-api:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: library "liboboe.so" not found:
needed by .../lib/arm64-v8a/libreact-native-audio-api.so

The project builds successfully, but the app fails when AudioAPIModule is initialized because libreact-native-audio-api.so cannot find its liboboe.so dependency.

Environment:

buildToolsVersion = "36.0.0"
minSdkVersion = 24
compileSdkVersion = 36
targetSdkVersion = 36
ndkVersion = "27.1.12297006"
kotlinVersion = "2.1.20"

react-native-audio-api: ^0.11.7

I have tried upgrading and downgrading react-native-audio-api, but the issue persists.

I have also:
Cleared the Gradle cache completely
Downgraded the project's Gradle version
Manually generated liboboe.so
Downgraded CMake to 3.22.1

Has anyone encountered this issue with liboboe.so not being packaged or resolved as a dependency of libreact-native-audio-api.so?

Steps to reproduce

1. Create or clone a React Native Android project.
2. Install react-native-audio-api version 0.11.7.
3. Configure the Android project with:
4. compileSdkVersion 36
5. targetSdkVersion 36
6. NDK 27.1.12297006
7. CMake 3.22.1
8. Build and install the Android app on an ARM64 device.
9. Initialize/use react-native-audio-api.

Hi @shanhassan06, I've reproduced your case and it works flawlessly on my side. The link you shared does not point to any code, so at this point I cannot offer much help. Please consider sharing your app/build.gradle settings. You can also inspect your apk after the build to check whether your setup drops the liboboe.so.
