Android app crashes after integrating React Native with NoClassDefFoundError: com.facebook.react.bridge.JSPackagerWebSocketClient

I get that error sometimes when I previously had "Debug JS Remotely" enabled, in the debug menu, when I run my project.

First, close the previous web browser tab that the app was connected to, and then in the app dismiss the error then disable "Debug JS Remotely" and reload.

This is 1 solution to my described common JSPackagerWebSocketClient error, but I am unsure of all your conditions around your issue though, such as your integration process, your android configs, how you ran the app, or maybe it's an issue with an older RN version.
