Error: Attempt to invoke virtual method on a null object reference

[simon-abbott]

I'm on RN 0.67.4 and I'm trying to update from v8.0.0 to v8.1.0. iOS is working perfectly, but when I try to launch in Android I get the error Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean com.facebook.react.uimanager.FabricViewStateManager.hasStateWrapper()' on a null object reference.

I'm experiencing the same issue also on RN 0.67.4.

Same issue here, seems like it has been fixed in RN: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/33910

[jotahws]

Any news on that matter?

[stetbern]

An update to RN 0.68.3 & Gradle 7 solved that issue for me

[faboyds]

Adding this to app/build.gradle worked for me:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation ("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1") {
        version {
            strictly '1.3.1'
        }
    }
    ...
}

        version {
            strictly '1.3.1'
        }
    }
    ...
}

why change this version? how about if I have implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0', can I change it ?
