“requireNativeComponent: "RNCSafeAreaProvider" was not found in the UIManager.”

Hi guys. I have a big problem with this error. Everytime I use this package and wrap App.js code in "SafeAreaProvider" in react native cli, I get this error and app crashes: “requireNativeComponent: "RNCSafeAreaProvider" was not found in the UIManager.” these are all packages which I use: react: 17.0.2 react-native: 0.68.1 react-native-safe-area-context: ^4.2.5 node: 16.14.0 npm: 8.3.1 yarn: 1.22.18. Also, I want to use react navigation and react-native-elements, so I need "react-native-safe-area-context" and "SafeAreaProvider"

@mamadfar, Were you able to resolve this issue? I'm facing the same after I upgraded react-native from 66 to 69. I tried linking the library manually as suggested on the react-navigation thread, but it didn't work; getting the error on both OS.

ya, I solved it. You just need to build again in bare react native app. Here my suggestion, everytime you're gonna add a package to your project, instead of start the app, just build again and clean your gradle then start the app. Your app will run perfectly.

It looks like it does't work with react-native "react-native": "^0.70.5",, it doesn't export RNCSafeAreaProvider anymore in version 0.70 and above
