Requirements:

• [x] Review the documentation
• [x] Search for existing issues in: viromedia/viro & ViroCommunity/viro
• [x] Use the latest ViroReact release

Environment

1. Development OS: Mac
2. Device OS & Version: iOS version (15.5, 16)
3. Version: "expo": "^45.0.0", "react": "17.0.2", "react-native": "0.68.2", "@viro-community/react-viro": "^2.23.0"
4. Device(s): Simulator

Description

We are building with EAS for the application I am working on. It runs smoothly on real devices. Before I added the Viro package, it was working fine in iOS simulator. Now, as you can see in the video, the application directly crashes without opening. I did a research about this, but I couldn't find a correct answer. Viro's documentation says that it won't work with the simulator. At the moment I can run the application on Android Emulator, I just can't use the features of Viro package. I need to run it on iOS simulator to develop the application faster. I am waiting for your help. Thank you.

@ardasnturk Hi, I'm facing the same issue. Did you solve it?

You can try to remove the Viro plugin you added to app.json and get a new simulator build. I think we solved this problem this way.
