same issue here, it only works when I do deletenode_modules and yarn install again but the error will appear again if I run the second build (yarn react-native run-android), which means I must delete node_modules and yarn install again every single time I want to develop/build the app, but I found an issue when i add react-native-cameraroll

I've already tried it on my both device which is Windows 11 and MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 and the issue is still the same

I finally fixed it for my both device Windows 11 and MacOS Ventura

in my case i just downgrade from "@react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll": "^5.7.1" to "@react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll": "5.3.0"

nodejs: v18.16.1
yarn: v1.22.19

try downgrading the version maybe?

[dr1verrr]

Please check an output from this command: npx --quiet react-native config
Then you may have to modify AndroidManifest.xml in some package(add package attribute with its package name)

[szymonrybczak]

Hello 👋 This is probably not issue related to React Native CLI - but related to libraries, please try upgrading them (libraries such as react-native-image-picker or react-native-cameraroll or any other) - probably in these libraries were introduced breaking change that breaks your app. Please also try creating fresh React Native app with npx react-native@latest init command and say is it working for you correctly.

[feralxan]

problem solved after i trying downgrade react-native-image-picker to ^4.0.3

[dr1verrr]

For me problem solved after I did check my logs, and realized that problem was in react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll.
Then I updated its package and finally it solved.

[abdulmomin703]

@dr1verrr I am also facing the issue when using react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll. How did you manage to solve the issue?

[szymonrybczak]

Hey @abdulmomin703, please see #1981 (comment)

[djguruwap]

I have spent 1 day with these issue. And finally able to resolved with increasing the react-native version.
Test which version is working for you.

I have 0.69.5 and i have upgraded to 0.70.0.
