I have the same problem. Is there a fix for this?

I've also the same problem with my project that use react 18.
For the moment we have to use --legacy-peer-deps flag on npm install.

I'm proposing a PR where I'm trying to solve the issue :

PR #46

The fix from @agjini resolves the issue, but for the sake of completeness I need to reinstall deps to regenerate yarn.lock - otherwise the codebase is not in actual state. I ignored it for a while, so now it will take time to bump dependencies and make sure everything, including example app, is runnable. I will post an update to NPM once this is done.

If you need a fix please either use --legacy-peer-deps or install the package from github

Hello @artyorsh and thanks for the explanation. Please let us know when the new version is published on npm.

Hi @artyorsh, any updates on npm publish ?

[artyorsh]

Yep. I'm currently working on it in my free time, please understand. The progress so far: #47

It seems the only thing to fix is jest setup, something to do with config files. The rest seem to be running normally

For me, the error still occured when I tried to build my expo app using expo's eas cli. I just wanted to share how I fixed the issue. It is pretty simple:

1. Create a file named .npmrc in the root directory
2. Write in that file the line legacy-peer-deps=true

I hope that helps some of you!

On Expo projects, you could add the following in your package.json:

"scripts": { "eas-build-pre-install": "npm config set legacy-peer-deps true", },
