react-native-screens: Crash on app launch
Hello,
I have encountered a problem while using react-native-screens combine with react-navigation : sometimes the app crash when I launched it (tested on Android only). This is the error catch in Logcat in Android Studio :
Process: com.XXXX, PID: 30449

I didn’t have this issue when I was using react-native-screens 1.0.0-alpha.22 with react-navigation 3.11.0 on react-native 0.59.4 .
I don’t really know what could be the cause of this issue. I didn’t have it before upgrading and it only appears sometimes.
My setup: react-native: 0.60.5 react-navigation: 4.0.7 react-native-screens: 2.0.0-alpha.3 OS: Android 8.0.0 Device: real

@Alaa-Ben @vivekraj I tried all the solutions presented here for both navigation and flipper. I have version 0.63.2 and my problem persists, any solution?
I missed something during the Installation.
Fixed the issue by adding below lines to dependencies section in android/app/build.gradle
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0-rc01' implementation 'androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.1.0-alpha02'@nicolashemonic Flipper isn’t working on 0.61.x, so commenting out/removing
initializeFlipper(this)in yourMainApplication.javashould do the trick.@Alaa-Ben Effectively
initializeFlipper(this)triggered the error. The React Native team is working hard to simplify the upgrade processus but I don’t understand why this line is not commented by default! So much time lost! Thank you.Edit: So the error is not related to
react-native-screens(sorry!) but I hope that will help anyone 😃I also encountered this problem, as long as you install this package Android will flip back, because react-navigation can not remove react-native-screens, how to solve it?
For me, those 2 lines are already added, I followed exactly the installations instructions but still have this issue sometimes.
I had a similar issue where my app crashed on startup on Android. However I am using react-native-screens and react-native-track-player and in the npm version in the dependencies is used
So although the react-native-screens I had the dependencies needed (as described by @vivekraj ) in android>app>build.gradle the app stopped crashing after I replaced the above dependencies within react-native-track-player.
