react-native-skia: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: SkiaApi In Expo

I tried to use the simple example from here https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/docs/paint/overview in react native expo

// code
import {Canvas, Circle, Paint, Group} from "@shopify/react-native-skia";

export default function App() {
    const r = 128;
    return (
        <Canvas style={{ flex: 1 }}>
            <Paint color="lightblue" />
            <Circle cx={r} cy={r} r={r} />
            {/* The paint is inherited by the following sibling and descendants. */}
            <Group style="stroke" strokeWidth={10}>
                <Circle cx={3 * r} cy={3 * r} r={r} />
            </Group>
        </Canvas>
    );
}

i’m getting the following error
