I do have the same issue, Has anyone with any solution helped?

I also had this issue earlier, but after restarting the bundler and rebuilding the app it went away.

Have the same issue. Rebuilding the bundle did not help.

Make sure rebuilding your app after installing react-native-restart It will not work in Expo Go

You can create a development build which is like a custom version of Expo Go. It won't work in Expo Go, because it includes native code, and that native code is not built into Expo Go. (And can't be added later.) So you need to build your app. e.g.:

eas build -p android --profile development

Then install that on your device/emulator and use it instead of Expo Go.

Thanks @bilalaurangzebkhan. This explanation should be in README.. Does this mean if we install it via npm / yarn add react-native-restart, create a dev-build, that's it? No need for any of that linking stuff?

Yes @ansmlc the newer version does auto-linking. and the react-native-restart will not work on expo Go but will work fine for development and production build.
