New solution for locked issue #110: Invariant Violation: Tried to register two views with the same name RNCSafeAreaProvider

Finally managed to solve this issue, in case anyone else is having the same problem I did. The error was in fact correct that there were 2 versions installed. However, I had previously deleted the wrong one (the one in /node_modules). I’m using expo, and what ended up working was deleting the copy in /node_modules/expo/node_modules/, as well as its reference in package-lock.json.

Yup I had this issue as well, using Expo SDK 39 and react-navigation 4.x

It appears Expo comes with react-native-safe-area-context in it’s own node_modules folder, but react-navigation was complaining about Unable to resolve "react-native-safe-area-context" from "node_modules/react-navigation-stack/lib/module/vendor/views/Stack/StackView.js"

until it was installed with expo install react-native-safe-area-context.

This appeared to work fine with Android when running the app, even though there were now 2 versions present in the dependancy tree after checking with npm list react-native-safe-area-context.

iOS however gave this error described here when booting up the app: Invariant Violation: Tried to register two views with the same name RNCSafeAreaProvider.

For a quick and dirty solution for now, i’ve added "postinstall": "rm -rf node_modules/expo/node_modules/react-native-safe-area-context" under scripts in package.json to remove the Expo one, and now the app is running fine.

I’m sure there must be a better solution out there by someone more versed in this than myself 😃

i tried everything, no one solution worked in IOS ( didn’t try yet in Android).

i’ve expo bare workflow, expo-cli 3.26.2 and “expo”: “~38.0.8”,

• deleted node_modules and package.lock or yarn.lock
• deleted react-native-safe-area-context from Package.json
• npm or yarn install
• expo install react-native-safe-area-context
• cleaned Xcode Build folder
• used new simulator without cache
• build with Xcode
