[Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNSVGSvgView" was not found in the UIManager.

[ndpiparava]

Having hard time with react-native-svg in android and it keeps complaining about [Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNSVGSvgView" was not found in the UIManager.]

I have followed the installation instruction and still do not work on andorid, works fine in iOS

I am using latest react native version

"react-native": "0.73.5",
"react-native-svg": "^15.0.0",  // should be  > 13.0 as per instruction
"react-native-svg-transformer": "^1.3.0",

Created fresh project and still facing same issues, issue does not appear until you do not use in component. However when you create simple component like below issue start appearing on app launch.

import React from 'react';
import Svg, { G, Path } from 'react-native-svg';
type PropsType = {
  isActive?: boolean;
};
export default function GearIcon({ isActive = false }: PropsType) {
  const strokeColor = isActive ? '#037AFF' : '#C0C0C0';
  return (
    <Svg
      width='40px'
      height='40px'
      viewBox='-5.04 -5.04 34.08 34.08'
      fill='none'
    >
      <G id='SvgRepo_bgCarrier' stroke-width='0' />

      <G
        id='SvgRepo_tracerCarrier'
        stroke-linecap='round'
        stroke-linejoin='round'
      />

Getting same error

[jayweb007]

Any solution to this Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNSVGSvgView" was not found in the UIManager.

[WoLewicki]

Could you provide a minimal reproducible code example? Best would be a simple repository.

[pgeimer]

Getting this error but only on [email protected] and only on android. I am not getting this error on other versions or iOS. I discovered this error after installing gluestack-ui because version 13.4.0 is recommended.

[AnkushSarkar10]

same error. Any solution?

[awongCM]

Getting this error but only on [email protected] and only on android. I am not getting this error on other versions or iOS. I discovered this error after installing gluestack-ui because version 13.4.0 is recommended.

Same here when I download this plugin along with lucide-react-native icon plugins which is part of sample from https://gluestack.io/ui/docs/components/media-and-icons/icon

When following the same with my own code below.

import { WalletCards } from "lucide-react-native";

const MobileBottomTabs = ({ bottomTabs }) => {
  return (
    <>
      <HStack>
        {bottomTabs.map((tab, index) => (
          <Pressable
            key={tab.label}
            onPress={() => alert(`You clicked on ${tab.label}`)}
            style={{ width: 100 }}
          >
            <Icon as={WalletCards} size="2xs" />
            <Text>{tab.label}</Text>
          </Pressable>
        ))}
      </HStack>
    </>
  );
};
export default MobileBottomTabs;

It breaks on android. But it works fine on ios.

Any help you can provide to resolve this?

I think I may have found the solution to this.

After doing some googling online and using Google Gemini, both led me to this page.

https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-svg?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-react-native-versions

Essentially in my package.json

"react-native": "0.73.4",
"react-native-safe-area-context": "^4.9.0",
"react-native-screens": "^3.29.0",
"react-native-svg": "^15.1.0", // formerly 13.0

I'm using the latest react native version 0.73.4 that is most compatible with react-native-svg version 15.0 and above.

After swapping from ^13.4.0 to ^15.1.0, reran the build and start the app, I can see the icons being rendered successfully on Android phone.

In spite of what the official gluestack-ui pages advises us to use react-native-svg ^13.4.0, it's apparent to me, there's a conflict on compatibility notes on using latest react-native version to play with gluestack's present recommended react-native-svg version.

I think they should update their readme pages to advise users in taking care of incoporating latest react-native versions to their gluestack-ui framework.

Hello @awongCM @ndpiparava, As I see, you have already resolved the issue, and it is not actually related to react-native-svg. Shall we close the issue?

[ndpiparava]

@bohdanprog You can close this but compatibility issues very tedious to figure and fix, I would highly recommend to check your internal deps and also updates documents.
