MenuView fails on iOS (Unimplemented) + Android (View config missing)

[WallysonGalvao]

Description
The MenuView component fails to render on both iOS and Android with different errors when using React Native's New Architecture:

• iOS: Unimplemented component: <MenuView>
• Android: View config not found for component 'MenuView'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install @react-native-menu/menu@1.2.3
2. Import and use <MenuView> in a component
3. Run the app (iOS/Android)
4. Error appears

Expected Behavior

MenuView should render a functional menu on both platforms.

Actual Behavior

• iOS: White screen/error with Unimplemented component
• Android: Red screen with View config not found

Environment

Key	Value
Library Version	react-native-menu/menu@1.2.3
React	19.0.0

@WallysonGalvao, this fixed the problem for me:

rm -rf android ios
npx expo prebuild
npx expo run:ios

@madouidesign I'm not using expo, my project is a vanilla react native

Also have the issue on Android after upgrading to React Native 0.79 (+ Expo 53); will tell you if I find a fix!

If you're using zeego library and ended up here, you must install @react-native-menu/menu as dependency of your project as mentioned here, then it should work properly: https://zeego.dev/start#android-dependencies.
You can also try to reinstall @react-native-menu/menu if it's already installed, but don't forget to clean your native folders using expo prebuild --clean if you're using expo.

Experiencing the same issue with React Native 0.77 with Expo 52. Anybody found a fix?

Have you found a fix? I am having this same issue after upgrading to Expo 53 (newArch not enabled)

Can confirm that the fix worked, hopefully someone will merge it soon.

This worked for me as well 😄
