Using the New Architecture with Hermes on Windows is quite challenging at this stage. Could you follow the instructions here: https://reactnative.dev/architecture/bundled-hermes#android-users-on-new-architecture-building-on-windows and confirm if it solves your issue?

[K-Leon]

We saw the same issue and couldn't solve it by following the linked instructions.
The hermesc.exe in Debug Folder exists, Release Folder is empty leading to this error. We tried it on different Windows 10 Systems.

It happens also if you ran the task directly from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompot:
gradlew.bat :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:assembleRelease
gradlew.bat :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:assembleDebug fails too, because it tries to link against a release hermesc.exe which obviously doesn't exist.

[aleluiah]

exactly the same issue am facing visual studio developer command prompt also failed after carefully following the linked instruction

[nibblesnbits]

Same; two errors. for debug build (npx react-native run-android):

> Task :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine:buildCMakeRelease[arm64-v8a][libhermes] FAILED
C/C++: ninja: error: 'D:/git/random/MyApp/node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/hermesc.exe', needed by 'lib/InternalBytecode/InternalBytecode.hbc', missing and no known rule to make it

with gradlew.bat bundleRelease:

info Writing bundle output to:, D:\git\random\MyApp\android\app\build\generated\assets\react\release\index.android.bundle
info Writing sourcemap output to:, D:\git\random\MyApp\android\app\build\intermediates\sourcemaps\react\release\index.android.bundle.packager.map
info Done writing bundle output

> Task :app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script 'D:\git\random\MyApp\node_modules\react-native\react.gradle' line: 126

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'.
> java.lang.Exception: Couldn't determine Hermesc location. Please set `project.ext.react.hermesCommand` to the path of the hermesc binary file. node_modules/react-native/sdks/hermesc/%OS-BIN%/hermesc

It seems the debug build is trying to depend on a release build of hermes, but an attempt at a release build assumes one already exists. 🤷

EDIT: Might be worth noting that node_modules\react-native\ReactAndroid\hermes-engine\build\hermes\bin\Debug\hermesc.exe DOES exists after npx react-native run-android, but the error message indicates that for some reason it's looking for node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/hermes-engine/build/hermes/bin/Release/hermesc.exe, not the debug one.

[cortinico]

Thansk for the report @nibblesnbits I will look into this. To help me understand:

• Is this happening on a newly created project?
• I assume you're enablign the New Architecture in your project right?

[nibblesnbits]

Yes, it happens in a new project only after new architecture is enabled.

Same happening for me when updating my project to react native 0.69.1 with the new architecture enabled.

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':ReactAndroid:buildCMakeDebug[x86_64][fabricjni,hermes-executor-debug,etc]'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':ReactAndroid:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve project :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine.
     Required by:
         project :ReactAndroid
      > No matching configuration of project :ReactAndroid:hermes-engine was found. The consumer was configured to find an API of a component, preferably optimized for Android, as well as attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr' with value 'debug', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr' with value '7.1.1', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'androidJvm' but:
          - None of the consumable configurations have attributes.

[nibblesnbits]

Still broken with 0.69.1, and did notice this output:

Not sure if it's relevant as the Debug\hermesc.exe does still get built.
