Error: Native component for "PhotoViewAndroid" does not exist

[yasir-netlinks]

I am using react-native: 0.50.4 and I'm receiving the error stated in title

I had the same issue. Then found this project : git-point and they are using react-native version 0.48.4. When I changed it, deleted _nodemodules and linked the package again, it worked.

@juffalow So do you mean I have to downgrade react-native version !

@yasir-netlinks you can try to follow the manual installation and add the required configuration into the MainApplication.java as in my case it's wasn't added automatically.

I have the same issue. I use react native 0.52.0

You can try to PhotoViewPackage() manually into your MainActivity.java for RN < 0.29 and to your MainApplication.java for RN >=0.29. It work for me.

import com.reactnative.photoview.PhotoViewPackage;

// ...

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    // ...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new PhotoViewPackage() // add this manager
      );
    }

    // ...
}

Hello, I'm having a very similar error message with RN0.59 on android (it works fine with ios) : `

Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "PhotoViewAndroid" was not found in the UIManager.

Any ideas on how to fix it ? (for me downgrading to an older RN version is not an option due to other dependencies). Thx

Any chance you figured this out? I'm encountering this with RN 0.60.4
