I also get the same error, error received on both Android and iOS

For me it's even before the send, it's when i run npx expo run:ios/android. And also in 2.6.0 the property renderUsernameOnMessage: PropTypes.Requireable<boolean>; was removed so messages doesn't have username rendering.

Hi Can you share full error? Also please try to run code from ./example

[UPDATE]

Npm install works but running the example is not working:

npx expo start

C:\Projects\Henrik\test\example\node_modules\fb-watchman\index.js:99
          var error = new Error(obj.error);
                      ^

@kesha-antonov I don't really get an error except ERROR Error: Native module not found, js engine: hermes. The example will not even install

And also in 2.6.0 the property renderUsernameOnMessage: PropTypes.Requireable<boolean>; was removed so messages doesn't have username rendering.

Note: when the project is JS there is no problem with this error, but when it's typescript there is an error.

When I go to giftedchat component the property is not present their.

It's present in Bubble component though, but even if I put the property into the Bubble component the username still does not appear.

I am getting the same issue. whenever I press the send button it throws an error, Native module not found, js engine: hermes

[kesha-antonov]

Did you also install reanimated?

https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/fundamentals/getting-started/

[HenrikZabel]

Yes. Everything is installed as documented. Is the example working on your machine?

[kesha-antonov]

Looks like issue with this lib

https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid/issues/570

I'll make a fix

[jamesholcomb]

I resolved this error by adding a dep in my package.json to react-native-get-random-values, then npx pod-install for iOS. You'll need to rebuild for android.

[mirsahib]

I have the above issue but fixed with @jamesholcomb suggestion

[kesha-antonov]

Released fix in 2.6.1 https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-gifted-chat/v/2.6.1

Follow installation guide once again https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[MGS-DEV]

Compared to the previous version that did not open, now with 2.6.1 the "Native module not found" error is triggered at onSend.

[kesha-antonov]

Please try https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat/releases/tag/2.6.2

Follow installation guide once again https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

[MGS-DEV]

It works now, thank you very much!
