Answer 1

If you are working on react-native. I got the same error when I enabled new architecture, which I resolved by making changes to the android/app/build.gradle by adding the following code

android {
   ......other code

   packagingOptions {
      pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libbutter.so'
   }
}

you might get other path errors with different architecture like 'lib/x86/libyoga.s' which you can include as above pickFirst'lib/x86/libyoga.s' in the next line. Clean and rebuild. I got the reference from https://github.com/tanersener/react-native-ffmpeg/issues/227
