5. react-native run-android

Expected behavior

App builds

Actual Behavior

Error is shown:

MainActivity.java:21: error: cannot find symbol public MainActivityDelegate(ReactActivity activity, String mainComponentName)

symbol: class ReactActivity location: class MainActivityDelegate

Your Environment

• React Native Navigation version: 7.27.1
• React Native version: 0.68.1
• Platform(s) (iOS, Android, or both?): Android
• Device info (Simulator/Device? OS version? Debug/Release?): Simulator

Since this package doesn't currently support the new architecture, you'll need to make sure it's disabled and your MainActivity.java should be essentially empty:

package com.yourorg.YourAppName;

import com.reactnativenavigation.NavigationActivity;

public class MainActivity extends NavigationActivity {
}

This should allow it to work on RN 0.68.

That said, I haven't seen a concrete confirmation that the new stuff will be supported by this project, and if it's not, it's unfortunately a basically dead project anyways.

Strange, this pull request is related to RN v0.68 https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/pull/7500

@bfricka Hi guy, this is what I used: "react-native-navigation": "7.27.1", so what's the newest version I can use of 'react-native', probably 0.66.3? How should I combine their versions？ I always get the error: react-native-navigation:compileReactNative66DebugKotlin

@Irenedan Did you update the kotlinVersion android/build.gradle ?

[theahmedsabbir]

having this issue too.. will there be any update from wix developers?

@bfricka what do you mean "new architecture" and where did you read (or not read...) that they won't support "it"?

It's very concerning.

Maybe @guyca can step in and let us know if it's FUD or if we can count on that lib going forward.

EDIT Ok, Fabric.

Also importing ReactActivity does not help it appears.
