[Error]"RCTVLCPlayer" was not found in the UIManager.

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

The code is a simple react native test project without any other module added.

import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { VLCPlayer } from 'react-native-vlc-media-player';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Blank App</Text>
      <VLCPlayer 
        videoAspectRatio="16:9"
        source={{ uri: "https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/media/big-buck-bunny-360p.mp4"}} />

    </View>
  );
}

This error occurred both on iOS and Android, with exact the same error message, which I suspect this error appear where react native calling native apis.

• I actually faced another error solved by removing dependency of 'react-native-slider', shown in here, I cloned this repo to avoid any unexpected affect to this module.

It is quite difficult for me to locate and solve the problem once the problem is associated with native code -- I don't really have any experience on native programming.

This issue is solved. if a newer version of React Native is used in your project and met this problem, you probably need to firstly prebuild the project to get /ios and /android directories in your project. In this situation, I suppose npx expo run:[ios|android] is needed, cuz I never succeeded with yarn start.

• Plus: You don't have to worry about react-native link ... anymore, I just use cd ios & pod install and all the thing went correctly.
• I might be wrong, or there is a better solution than this, please feel free to give some other perspectives.
