java.lang.NullPointerException: Parameter specified as non-null is null: method com.facebook.react.bridge.PromiseImpl.reject, parameter code #335
Description
Root Cause Analysis
Library: react-native-zip-archive@7.0.2
Problem Code: Android native module calls promise.reject(null, "error message") when errors occur
React Native Policy Change: React Native 0.68+ no longer allows passing null as the first parameter (error code) in promise.reject()
Library Status: Latest version (7.0.2) but Android code still uses legacy approach
Why Did This Happen?
React Native Changes: Recent versions enforced stricter @nonnull checks
Library Updates: Version 7.0.0 update primarily addressed iOS privacy policy compliance; Android code was not updated
Compatibility Issues: Worked in older React Native versions but causes crashes in newer versions
