`No view found with reactTag: 772`

[theBGuy]

After upgrading to the new arch the captureRef method is failing with [Error: No view found with reactTag: 772]. I tried the patch from #555 and that didn't work for me.

Specs:

• react-native: 0.77
• expo: 52.0.36
• react-native-view-show: 4.0.3
• newArch: enabled

I've also had this error on iOS and new architecture while trying to call captureRef on a regular <View> component.

The solution for me was to switch to <ViewShot> component:

const capture = () => {
  const image = captureRef(viewShotRef);
}
- return <View ref={viewRef}>...</View>
+ return <ViewShot ref={viewShotRef}>...</ViewShot>
