The source of the problem is in the MainActivity.kt and MainApplication.kt file.
Paste the MainActivity.kt and MainApplication.kt file content here.

i'm facing same problem MainActivity.java here:

These rules are from the old RN version before 0.73.x. If your RN version is 0.73.x or later, you should definitely use these.

It translates the software into Kotlin language for easy understanding.

https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.72.17&to=0.73.10

MainActivity.java = MainActivity.kt
MainApplication.java = MainApplication.kt

I think these files belong to the RN version 0.75.x configuration.

MainActivity.kt
If you want notification permission for Android 13 and above, I added it.
super.onCreate(null) illogical
My advice is to remove "fabricEnabled" completely from the MainActivity.kt file if not used.

package com.fnb.ca.ths

import android.Manifest
import androidx.core.app.ActivityCompat
import android.content.pm.PackageManager
import android.os.Build
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.fabricEnabled
import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactActivityDelegate
import android.os.Bundle
import com.zoontek.rnbootsplash.RNBootSplash

class MainActivity : ReactActivity() {

  override fun getMainComponentName(): String = "TimHortons"

  override fun createReactActivityDelegate(): ReactActivityDelegate =
      DefaultReactActivityDelegate(this, mainComponentName, fabricEnabled)

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
      RNBootSplash.init(this, R.style.BootTheme)
      setNotifications()
  }

  private fun setNotifications() {
      if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU) {
          if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
              requestPermissions(arrayOf(Manifest.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS), REQUEST_CODE_NOTIFICATIONS)
          }
      }
  }

  companion object {
      private const val REQUEST_CODE_NOTIFICATIONS = 1
  }
}

MainApplication.kt
