Invalid RNReanimated.podspec file: [Reanimated] Unsupported React Native version. Please use 0.75 or newer

Description

After upgrading react-native from 0.73.8 to 0.74.7 using the React Native Upgrade Helper, and I am currently using react-native-reanimated version 3.6.0.

When I try to do pod install it fails with the following:

!] Invalid `Podfile` file: 
[!] Invalid `RNReanimated.podspec` file: [Reanimated] Unsupported React Native version. Please use 75 or newer..

For android when I try to build the app I get the following:

I even tried to upgrade react-native-reanimated from 3.6.0 to 3.9.0, but that didn't work either.

For iOS

1. cd ios
2. pod install

For Android

1. react-native run android

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

[MatiPl01]

Reanimated 3.6.0 is not compatible with RN 0.74.x. Please take a look at the compatibility table here and bump reanimated to the compatible version.

The minimum compatible version for both, the Old and the New Architecture is 3.9.0

these are your current versions:

[MatiPl01]

Let me know if it helps. You can reopen the issue if you still encounter the problem after the upgrade.

[caralin3]

@MatiPl01 I tried to upgrade react-native-reanimated from 3.6.0 to 3.9.0, but still got the same error.

[MatiPl01]

So you tried to use reanimated 3.9.0 with RN 0.74.7, right?

Have you reinstalled node_modules? You can clean up the project with the git clean -Xdf command called from the root of the project, then install all dependencies again (yarn install or npm install), install pods and build the project.

I think that your dependencies might be in the invalid state after the upgrade or you might have done something wrong during the upgrade.

[caralin3]

Yes I am trying to use 3.9.0 with RN 0.74.7 now. It's still not working.

1. I deleted node_modules, yarn.lock, and Podfile.lock
2. Then ran yarn install again
3. Then tried pod install and it still failed with the same error
4. And tried to build android and still failed with the same error as before as well

[caralin3]

Ok I think I upgraded to RN 0.74.7 incorrectly, so I downgraded to 0.74.0 and it's working now.

[caralin3]

Actually I am getting a different error when I build the app

hi @caralin3, there was another issue related to your error, and the way to fix it is to upgrade to Reanimated 3.10.0 or higher. Please let me know if it helps :)

[caralin3]

That didn't work either. Now I am trying to upgrade to react-native 0.79.3 and am using react-native-reanimated 3.17.0, but I am getting this error when I try to run the android app:

Hi @caralin3, please refer to our Compatibility Table - Reanimated 3.17.0 does not support RN 0.79, please update Reanimated to minimum 3.17.4 (preferably to latest) and then let me know if it helped :)

[caralin3]

Was able to build with reanimated version 3.16.7 and react-native 0.75.5

[zahid502]

just go your previous branch and run the code, and then if you want to new brach, then create branch it will worked for you, thanks. Note: no need to update any version

RN : 0.76.9
"react-native-reanimated": "^3.18.0",

any solution for this getting error while running the command "pod install"

[MatiPl01]

@devendra-dangi Please read the error message again. It already provides a solution:

[Reanimated] Unsupported React Native version. Please use 78 or newer.

[devendra-dangi]

@MatiPl01 but here it says we can use 3.18 version with 0.76.9 rn version

[MatiPl01]

@devendra-dangi You must be using reanimated 3.19. I've just checked sources of the released 3.18.0 version and it has min supported version set to 0.75:

 minimalReactNativeVersion = 75
  if config[:react_native_minor_version] < minimalReactNativeVersion
    raise "[Reanimated] Unsupported React Native version. Please use #{minimalReactNativeVersion} or newer."
  end

Please look at your node_modules, search for the react-native-reanimated package and check which version it shows in the package.json (or validate it using yarn why if you use yarn package manager or using a different method for a different package manager)

[devendra-dangi]

@MatiPl01 yes you're correct when i check i got this

def assert_minimal_react_native_version(config) # If you change the minimal React Native version remember to update Compatibility Table in docs minimalReactNativeVersion = 78 if config[:react_native_minor_version] < minimalReactNativeVersion raise "[Reanimated] Unsupported React Native version. Please use #{minimalReactNativeVersion} or newer." end end

{ "name": "react-native-reanimated", "version": "3.19.1", "description": "More powerful alternative to Animated library for React Native.", "scripts": { "react-native": "0.80.0-rc.3",

it is using 3.19.1 version from /node_modules/react-native-reanimated/package.json

so which version should i install which is compatible for 0.76.9

[MatiPl01]

3.18.0 should be compatible, so downgrade from 3.19.1 to 3.18.0 or upgrade React Native to 0.78.

[devendra-dangi]

@MatiPl01 Thanks a lot — the issue was solved by removing the ^ from the library version.

Changed "react-native-reanimated": "^3.18.0" to "react-native-reanimated": "3.18.0".

[C0C41N]

For me, after trying everything mentioned here didn't work I tried installing latest/compatible version of react-native-worklets and it resolved the issue

What version of react native are you using, I am on RN 0.76.3 and reanimated 3.18.0 but still get this error

[Reanimated] react-native-worklets package isn't installed. Please install a version between 0.4.0 and 0.4 to use Reanimated 4.1.0.

[MatiPl01]

@Neon-jeff It is not possible that you are getting this missing react-native-worklets on Reanimated v3. Can you please validate your dependencies and check which version of reanimated is really installed? You can just go into your node_modules dir, look for react-native-reanimated, get into its sources and open the package.json file to see which version you have.

If it shows 4.x.x., then you likely have some issue with your dep version specified in the package.json file. You may try replacing it with an exact version "3.18.0".

[Neon-jeff]

@MatiPl01 I think apparently it was an nx issue, I haven't pinpointed the main issue yet, but I suspect having the ^ in the package.json file as ^3.18.0, removing my .nx folder, the caret symbol, node modules, yarn.lock , podfile.lock, re-installing packages and pods install fixed the issue. Thanks by the way.

[MalekZishan]

Pod install took 205 [s] to run Integrating client project Pod installation complete! There are 114 dependencies from the Podfile and 143 total pods installed.

@MatiPl01 Thanks a lot — the issue was solved by removing the ^ from the library version.
