Actual Results

Warning received:

Seems harmless, but would like to know if we can get rid of it any time soon.

Steps to Reproduce

Just build

Code Sample

Version of Realm and Tooling

• Realm JS SDK Version: 6.0.2
• Node or React Native: ? React Native
• Client OS & Version: ? Mac OS / Android APK (any version)
• Which debugger for React Native: None

More compile warnings, these seem a bit worse:

Note: This seems the result of upgrading to React Native 0.63

UPDATE: Looks like upgrading the Android NDK version (from Android studio) removes the warning. Still investigating if new issues are added after this update.

[kneth]

@cristianoccazinsp Please tell us which NDK version you are using. Moreover, do you see the issue if Realm is not included?

[cristianoccazinsp]

As far as I know, I didn't install any NDK, so the version installed probably was downloaded automatically (with Android studio 3.x ?). After realizing this, I installed the "side-by-side NDK" from Android studio (version 21.3.6528147) and the warning went away.

[kneth]

We are a bit picky when it comes to NDK - mostly because we are linking against OpenSSL, Realm Core and Realm Sync.

[ash514]

Can anyone solve these problem?

[luizwhite]

I just did a fresh install and also got these lines

@kneth Why is this closed?

[bmunkholm]

It was closed because the issue for the reporter was resolved. Please see how in his latest response.
Did you try that as well?
(that said, it's better to create a new issue with a link to this issue and with all details of what you have tried, rather than commenting on a closed issue).
Thanks!

[sugaith]

Same here.. updated Android Studio and ...

@sugaith You might have missed to set up the required environment variables. See https://github.com/realm/realm-js/blob/master/contrib/building.md#instructions-for-macos for an introduction to set up your environment.
