Just upgraded from React Native .26 to .29 and am getting the below error when trying to run my Android project. I've gone to those files and changed the names, moved the folders, etc. They're rebuild, and duplicated, on each build. Any idea where this could be happening from?

... ... :app:preDexDebug UP-TO-DATE :app:dexDebug UP-TO-DATE :app:validateDebugSigning :app:packageDebug Error: duplicate files during packaging of APK /Users/nhyland/Documents/react-native/BidSmart/android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug-unaligned.apk Path in archive: META-INF/LICENSE Origin 1: /Users/nhyland/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/2.4.1/b130bcfb5a9c410c3cbd2e0adec9437e69a39e2c/jackson-core-2.4.1.jar Origin 2: /Users/nhyland/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-annotations/2.4.1/55605135bd7b836612e0bba7037c9669f6ccf89f/jackson-annotations-2.4.1.jar You can ignore those files in your build.gradle: android {
packagingOptions { exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE' } } :app:packageDebug FAILED

Fixed by adding the below to build.gradle: Broken for other reasons now :-)

packagingOptions {
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
      }
