Background
Hey everyone, I'm building my first React Native app without Expo. I'm trying to use @react-navigation/bottom-tabs, I've followed the instructions provided in the docs every step of the way. I'm then trying to add react-native-appearance to handle dark mode preference from device. However, from here on out things get tricky when I try to run the app using an Android emulator.
Problem
ERROR react-native-gesture-handler module was not found. Make sure you're running your app on the native platform and your code is linked properly (cd ios && pod install && cd ..).
And that is followed by a number of variations of this error message:
TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '_$$_REQUIRE(_dependencyMap[8], "./NativeAppearance").NativeAppearance.initialPreferences')
What I've tried
As I've mentioned earlier, I've referred to the Navigation docs, but also to all the following:
- Gesture handler docs I've exhausted all options here, from the basic stuff to manual linking.
- Gestutre handler github issue 671
- All options from Appearance docs
How you can help me
I would really appreaciate if someone could let me know how to solve this issue, I imagine it has to do with compatibility with Appearance, so I'll be checking that out while I wait for an answer.
Thanks a lot in advance!
