same issue

It seems the issue you are facing is specific to npm@7+'s requirement to provide the correct version of peer dependencies when installing the packages. Have you tried running npm install --legacy-peer-deps The --legacy-per-deps flag was introduced in npm@7+ as a way to install without peer dependencies check anyway. This is how it used to be from npm v4-v6.

Same issue... installing works with --legacy-peer-deps and/or --force but fixing audits via npm won't work then:

npm ERR! Cannot read properties of null (reading 'children')

Last log of npm audit fix refers to this library:

414 verbose unfinished npm timer idealTree:node_modules/@react-native-community/image-editor 1647349766947

Anyone still maintaining this or is it EOL and ppl should migrate to other library? Since the PR with a fix is already opened since 7 month without any discussion it seems to be EOL?
