It works on RN 0.75. Please publish your styles.xml

Hello @zoontek , thanks for swift response

here's our style.xml

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.DayNight.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="android:editTextBackground">@drawable/rn_edit_text_material</item>
    </style>
    <!-- BootTheme should inherit from Theme.BootSplash or Theme.BootSplash.EdgeToEdge -->
    <style name="BootTheme" parent="Theme.BootSplash.EdgeToEdge">
        <!-- Apply color + style to the status bar (true = dark-content, false = light-content) -->
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/bootsplash_background</item>
        <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
        <item name="bootSplashBackground">@color/bootsplash_background</item>
        <item name="bootSplashLogo">@drawable/bootsplash_logo</item>
        <item name="postBootSplashTheme">@style/AppTheme</item>
    </style>

</resources>

[zoontek]

The first line is useless when using the edge-to-edge theme:

<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/bootsplash_background</item>

Don't forget to clean your project (gradlew clean) before building it again.

Thanks, for the help @zoontek , we did a goofup in the build settings we turned off auto-linking, when we enabled it back it worked like a charm

the library works like a charm on RN 0.75

Thanks for the help :)
