   Hi @miarevalo10,

   Thanks for reporting this. This is likely due to old build artifacts still being present. Cleaning Android then rebuilding should fix this issue:

   cd android
   ./gradlew clean

   Also, please make sure that:

   1. You are on the correct node version (v20.19.0)
   2. The correct variables are exposed in your .zshrc or .bash_profile. EG: JAVA_HOME, ANDROID_HOME, etc. See the react native docs for more details.

   Regarding IterableApi.setContext(this) -- that definitely should be in your app, and is an oversight in our example application. Thanks for pointing it out! We will create a ticket for adding this into our example app.

   Please let me know if you have any further issues.

   Hi @lposen

   Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately cleaning did not fix the issue, I tried your suggestion and I also tried:

   cd android
   rm -rf .gradle build app/build app/.cxx
   ./gradlew clean
   

   We're currently on node version v24.12.0, this is a requirement by another third party sdk we use, so it is not an option to downgrade right now.

   I was able to find a workaround by manually linking the library using react-native.config.js:

   const path = require('path');
   
   module.exports = {
     dependencies: {
       'react-native-vector-icons': {
         platforms: {
           ios: null,
         },
       },
       // Lines below fixed the issue
       '@iterable/react-native-sdk': {
         platforms: {
           android: {
             sourceDir: path.join(
               __dirname,
               'node_modules/@iterable/react-native-sdk/android',
             ),
             /*
               These manual configurations are required because autolinking
               fails to parse the package information from the source files
               due to the non-standard file structure of this library.
             */
             packageImportPath:
               'import com.iterable.reactnative.RNIterableAPIPackage;',
             packageInstance: 'new RNIterableAPIPackage()',
             libraryName: 'RNIterableAPISpec',
             componentDescriptors: [],
             cmakeListsPath: path.join(
               __dirname,
               'node_modules/@iterable/react-native-sdk/android/build/generated/source/codegen/jni/CMakeLists.txt',
             ),
           },
         },
       },
     },
   };

   Looks like autolinking is failing in our project and having this works for now. Given this is not a permanent fix because of its hacky nature, I would like to know if there's a better way to troubleshoot autolinking not working in our project

   Thanks in advance

   Hi @miarevalo10,

   Sorry that you're experiencing these issues.

   What version of React Native are you using?
