Android App crash instantly after add Realm + React Navigation Drawer (screens/gesture handler/hermes)

[gabrielporcher]

How frequently does the bug occur?

All the time

Description

Hello,

I'm working on a fresh react native project (CLI). So I started adding and configuring React navigation (Stack and Drawer). Also i added React-native gesture handler, react native screens and hermes (because both are dependencies to react navigation). Until here, everything was fine.

After this, I added MongoDB Realm (npm install realm) but then my app started to fail. The app install with build successful, but when I try to open app in emulator it just close instantly, without any errors. The only messaged displayed is this:

I spent a whole day researching and trying to fix it, but i just couldnt do anything.

So I created a new project and started in reverse way. First, installed and configured Realm, and everything was fine. Then, I added react-navigation stack and still ok. But when I added react native navigation Drawer and configured its dependencies (gesture handler and react native screens, also I had to enable hermes because its a screens must have) the app started to crashes exactly the same as the previous app.

I tried to fix it in so many ways but nothing seems to work. I'm starting to get desperate, because it's been 2 days since I can't do anything in my app :C

In addition, I just cant create a log because my app doesnt even start.

Stacktrace & log output

I forgot to mention that i had to add react-native-reanimated too for the react-navigation/drawer.
Then I just saw #4176 and looks like Realm isnt compatible with reanimation V2. I'll try to change it to V1 and see what happens next

@gabrielporcher alternatively, you can try our Hermes release branch, which is compatible with reanimated v2:

npm install realm@hermes

Let us know if that helps!

Hi @takameyer,

Last night I was debuggin my app dependencies and doing some researches to found the root of the problem, and i found your commentary #3837 .

I tried your Hermes release branch and looks like its working perfectly with reanimated v2.

Thank you!

@takameyer is Realm JavaScript v11.0.0-rc.1 this version compatible with RN 0.66 and below 0.69? Because, v11.0.0-rc.0 is compatible with those.
