dev, staging and internal testing working properly, but getting rejected from google play console due to below error :

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean...
react-i18next is a JavaScript project, not a Java...
I don't think this is related to react-i18next at all...
Just make sure you add an intl polyfill if necessary: https://www.i18next.com/translation-function/plurals

yes @adrai I know it's javascript project, but once we create build, code gets converted to java files. Everything is working fine upto internal testing but in when app sent for review in GPC then it gets rejected due to above issue. Not getting any error and all in dev mode.

[adrai]

And why do you think that error is related to react-i18next?

[shaikhkhamroddin]

as the error is related to locales.

[adrai]

Sorry, but I don't think this is at all related to react-i18next...
I'm not able to help, sorry.

99.99% not looking like related to react-i18next -> the error message seems more related to some call to some translation service needing source and target locale...

https://forum.unity.com/threads/google-play-console-error-java.1510811/

even states more details:

  at mnb.bw
  at exp.a (PG:9)
  at exq.b
  at com.google.android.apps.miphone.aiai.translate.settings.jobservice.AutoTranslateSettingJobService.onStopJob (PG:5)
  at android.app.job.JobService$1.onStopJob (JobService.java:73)
  at android.app.job.JobServiceEngine$JobHandler.handleMessage (JobServiceEngine.java:114)

So it's reasonable to search what causes the error on AutoTranslateSettingJobService

I suggest repackaging and trying it out again
