Hi @MSetnik, can you run the following command in the project's home directory and test again?

cd android && ./gradlew clean && cd ..

[MSetnik]

Still doesnt work. Im on RN version 0.66.0 so that could be the issue

@MSetnik Do you get this error when you try to use the "setFitsSystemWindows" function of the this package? Can you share the versions of buildToolsVersion, minSdkVersion, compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in your android/build.gradle file? As you said, react native version is very old and probably doesn't support setDecorFitsSystemWindows. I can quickly release a new version. By the way, I suggest you to upgrade your React Native version as well.

[MSetnik]

buildToolsVersion = "30.0.2" minSdkVersion = 21 compileSdkVersion = 31 targetSdkVersion = 31 ndkVersion = "21.4.7075529"

The problem is I cannot currently upgrade RN version because app depends on older plugins :/

@MSetnik Got it. Do you get this error when you try to use the setFitsSystemWindows function of this package in your project? Or are you getting this error when using a different function?

[MSetnik]

Still getting error after changing WindowCompat.setDecorFitsSystemWindows(view, enabled); to WindowCompat.setFitsSystemWindows(view, enabled);

node_modules/react-native-system-navigation-bar/android/src/main/java/com/reactnativesystemnavigationbar/SystemNavigationBarModule.java:289: error: cannot find symbol WindowCompat.setFitsSystemWindows(view, enabled); ^ symbol: method setFitsSystemWindows(Window,Boolean) location: class WindowCompat

App doesnt build because of that error

Have you tried using the previous version, version 2.5.2?

yarn add react-native-system-navigation-bar@2.5.2

Same problem here. Works on 2.5.0, doesn't work on 2.6.0. Downgrading is not ideal since we would like to have this fix available:

Hi @MSetnik, @dmitry-zaitsev I made the change for this issue. You can test the change in the latest version 2.6.1
