Expected Behavior

the app should not crash when react-native-vision-camera opens up and should be able to scan the barcode

Actual Behavior

the app is crashing after a few seconds of opening a camera

Steps to Reproduce

1. navigate to the camera screen
2. after the camera is initiated it will crash

Context

Here I am trying to integrate the react-native-vision-camera plugin known as vision-camera-code-scanner, but after installing this package and integrating the plugin with the vision-camera package it started crashing after the camera started with below crash error log

You have multiple modules requiring the same Android logger library that this plugin uses org.slf4j.

Background Geolocation imports the latest version 2.0.7 while org.java-websocket-Java-WebSocket imports the older 1.7.25.

Solution

• In your android/build.gradle, add the following ext variables:

buildscript {
    ext {
        .
        .
        .
        slf4jVersion = "1.7.36"
        logbackVersion = "2.0.1"
    }
}
