Error: Missing Realm constructor. Did you run "pod install" on iOS

[Pingou]

How frequently does the bug occur?

Sometimes

Description

Here is another case of this bug. It happens to a few of my users, iOS version doesn't seem to make a difference. Users are upset because they can't even open the app. Compatibility matrix seems to be respected.

Stacktrace & log output

You mention that it only happens in few cases, and you haven't been able to see a pattern. I wonder if it is a collision with another dependency. It is possible to share package.json?

If the new architecture is enabled, you will have to disable to this old version of Realm.

Moreover, do you have any issues on Android?

We have seen issues like this with react-native-reanimated in the past. And you might have to double-check your package-lock.json if the versions are compatible.
