Yes, I got this issue and temporarily followed this fix suggested in react-native-camera issues bucket https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/issues/3423

Works smooth now

Hi

you need to use https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera beacuse https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/issues/3423 is deprecated.

please update your repo to use react-native-vision-camera

We updated to react-native 0.69.4 and now our app wont start because react-native-camera which is an unmaintained dependency of this project uses the removed ViewPropTypes of react-native. The only path forward is to replace react-native-camera with react-native-vision-camera.

How can I use this library with react native vision camera

[fdelavra]

Any news about this? Using a non maintained package is not possible ;)

我也有同样问题 如何手动修改不可维护包 是不是不太科学

You can use the deprecated-react-native-prop-types with npm install deprecated-react-native-prop-types --save.

Had to do some hacking in node_modules/react-native-camera/src/RNCamera.js:

1. Remove the ViewPropTypes from the original compound import statement.
2. Add import { ViewPropTypes } from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'; right above import PropTypes

I know it's not the clean/right/correct/recommended way to fix this, But if you need a quick solution, this may help.

1. npm install deprecated-react-native-prop-types or yarn add deprecated-react-native-prop-types
2. Add "postinstall": "patch-package" to <your-project-root>/package.json in "scripts"
3. Add the patch file in <your-project-root>/patches
4. npm install or yarn your project

react-native-camera+4.2.1.patch

NOTE: This patch adds deprecated-react-native-prop-types@^2.3.0 as a react-native-camera dependency in its package.json, however, I cannot get it to actually install it automatically.

Any plans on migrating this cool library to React Native Vision Camera? We've updated React Native and now the app crashes because of the deprecation.
