ViewPropTypes from react-native undefined, causing TypeError on the 'style' prop

Issue summary

react-native-multi-select.js is failing to compile with TypeError: Cannot read property ‘style’ of undefined. The error appears to be for any reference made to ViewPropTypes. I have run ‘yarn outdated’ to check my node module versions and dependencies; nothing wrong stood out for me.

My app is built/run using “react-app-rewired start” with a few customize-cra rules in the config-overrides.js.

Any help/idea would be appreciated.

Library versions

react: ^17.0.1 react-native: 0.63.3 react-native-multiple-select: ^0.5.6

Steps to Reproduce

This error shows up for “import MultiSelect from ‘react-native-multiple-select’” line in my code when “react-app-rewired start” is run.

Expected Behavior

I expected ViewPropTypes.style from react-native to not cause any problems, and the multiple select list would show up in my app.

Actual Behavior

Commenting out all the lines that reference ViewPropTypes.style bypasses the compilation issue, but obviously that’s not desirable. For example, these lines:

In react-native-multi-select.js    
   styleDropdownMenu: ViewPropTypes.style,
    styleDropdownMenuSubsection: ViewPropTypes.style,
    styleInputGroup: ViewPropTypes.style,
    styleItemsContainer: ViewPropTypes.style,
