released in react-native-mmkv 3.0.2 :rocket:

[darseen]

I still have the same issue even with react-native-mmkv 3.0.2 I'm using expo 51 and react-native 0.74.5

[changu7007]

Yes even I'm facing the same issue, the issue has not solved the problem even after updating to the specified version 3.0.2

[KartikDevarde2601]

same error react-native 0.74.5

[krishna-gujjjar]

I am facing the same issue with expo@~51.0.31, [email protected] and react-native-mmkv@^3.0.2. I fixed it using the expo-build-properties. the issue is react-native-mmkv required new architecture. so just enable it and it will work fine.

• Install expo-build-properties

npx expo install expo-build-properties

• Enable new architecture by adding this to your app.json

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-build-properties",
        {
          "ios": {
            "newArchEnabled": true
          },
          "android": {
            "newArchEnabled": true
          }
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

• Then create a clean prebuild

npx expo prebuild --clean

• And it's working now

npx expo run:android

@krishna-gujjjar No, we will not activate the new architecture because RN team specifically indicated that the new arch is not production ready : source

This issue should remain Open. I currently have a vanilla react-native build with no expo, React-native version "0.76.3" and "react-native-mmkv": "^3.2.0",

on build i still receive the same issue mentioned in the original post, also the posts you linked also have people dealing with upgraded versions of the package still dealing with the original issue.
