I have the same problem on RN 0.72

[oliviercperrier]

same problem while trying to run me android expo development build.

RN: 0.72.3 react-native-svg: 13.10.0

[WoLewicki]

Could you provide a minimal reproducible code example? Could be as a simple repository. It would be very helpful.

[oliviercperrier]

@WoLewicki Okay so i found my problem. I have an External Components Library which has react-native-svg as a peer dependency. So i never installed react-native-svg manually in my main application because it was handle by the peer dep.

So if i don't install it in my app dependencies, then i get the RNSVGPath is null error after building my expo development build. But if i do, then everything works.

Which library is it?

And what version of expo is it?

@eatanga-git

Its a internal library that i build. Its a private one.

And i use expo 49.0.5

I have this same issue in this repo: https://github.com/thalesgaldino/demoapp

I you go to src/SearchHeader.tsx and in line 33 you add:

<InputIcon pl="$3">
    <Icon as={SearchIcon} />
  </InputIcon>

Then, you will get this error.

[WoLewicki]

So yeah, for some reason react-native-svg is not installed correctly in your cases. But it seems like a problem with package managers, not the library itself. So can I help you anyhow with it?

[shanebrowncs]

Also having this issue when consuming react-native-autocomplete-dropdown. This problem is happening for a number of people. Can you elaborate on how this is a package manager issue? Should we create a bug report for npm?

My implementation of the icons were as followed

// tab-menu.constant.ts
import { CreateGroupButton } from '@/components/Screens/Groups/CreateGroupButton';
import {
  MessagesSquare,
  Dumbbell,
  Users,
  User,
  type LucideIcon,
} from 'lucide-react-native';

export const TAB_MENU_ITEMS: TabMenuItem[] = [
  {
    name: 'index',
    title: 'Workout',
    iconComponent: Dumbbell,
  },
  {
    name: 'feed',
    title: 'Feed',
    iconComponent: MessagesSquare,
  },
  {
    name: 'groups',
    title: 'Groups',
    iconComponent: Users,
    headerRight: CreateGroupButton,
  },
  {
    name: 'profile',
    title: 'Profile',
    iconComponent: User,
  },
];

export interface TabMenuItem {
  name: string;
  title: string;
  iconComponent: LucideIcon;
  iconName?: string;
  focusedIconName?: string;
  headerRight?: React.ComponentType<any>;
}

// TabMenuItem.tsx
import React from 'react';
import { TabMenuItem as TabMenuItemType } from '@/constants/tab-menu.constant';

interface TabMenuItemProps
  extends Pick<
    TabMenuItemType,
    'iconComponent' | 'iconName' | 'focusedIconName'
  > {
  color: string;
  focused: boolean;
  size?: number;
}

export function TabMenuItem({
  iconComponent: Icon,
  iconName,
  focusedIconName,
  color,
  focused,
  size = 28,
}: TabMenuItemProps) {
  const props = { color, size, style: { marginTop: 4 } };

  if (focused && focusedIconName) {
    // @ts-ignore
    return <Icon name={focusedIconName} {...props} />;
  }

  // @ts-ignore
  return <Icon name={iconName} {...props} />;
}
