I have the same problem.
any solution?

[tomershohet]

Same here

[ghost]

Same on RN 0.57.5 . Maybe it is some way related to some unresolved old dependencies.

UPD: Solved this, by deleting android/ and ios/ folders, making react-native eject and react-native link again.

@NelGarbuzova Can you tell me your specific operation? I have the same problem now. Thank you very much!

@LingYun i just deleted android/ and ios/ folders, then run react-native eject , then react-native link, then react-native run-android . And that's all. Everything start to work. Same for ios.
