Any workarounds to solve this issue?

I removed

react-native-safe-area-context

From my package.json

[JGeraldoLima]

Removing the lib from my package.json only created another issue: @react-navigation/* needs it at some point and then the app crashes in runtime, when loading the bundle. My solution was to keep the dependencies and adding the following to the app/android/build.gradle setup:

android {

  sourceSets {
      main {
        manifest.srcFile "src/main/AndroidManifestNew.xml"
        // Exclude safe-area-context, screens, and gesture-handler codegen files to avoid duplicates
        java {
          exclude '**/com/facebook/react/viewmanagers/*SafeArea*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/react/viewmanagers/*Screen*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/react/viewmanagers/RNS*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/react/viewmanagers/RNGesture*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/fbreact/specs/*SafeArea*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/fbreact/specs/*Screen*'
          exclude '**/com/facebook/fbreact/specs/*Gesture*'
        }
      }
    }

   // ...other stuff 
}

spent almost a week on this one, brilliant!
