I got the same issue

[GoldZy11]

I found the solution, just downgrade RN to 0.73.0 v, if you see this table, the Reanimated 0.8.1v don´t support RN 0.74.0.

[error-try-again]

From what I've gathered, replaceExistingNonRootView(int,int) & removeSubviewsFromContainerWithID(int containerTag) do not exist on the current parent/super class which is why the error is being thrown.

Since I'm only using reanimated as a dependency of "@react-navigation/drawer": "^6.6.11", I was able to get around the issue with the following hack & by commenting out the execution statements. Drawer works fine now.

I'm not sure how this workaround will affect other use-use cases.

node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/src/reactNativeVersionPatch/ReanimatedUIManager/latest/com/swmansion/reanimated/layoutReanimation/ReanimatedUIManager.java

  @ReactMethod  
  @Deprecated

Use rc release: "react-native-reanimated": "^3.9.0-rc.1"

Thx manish-cashify
react-native-reanimated 3.9.0 has been released https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated/releases/tag/3.9.0
We can now use: "react-native-reanimated": "^3.9.0"

[tomekzaw]

@tapz Thanks for opening this issue and everyone else for your comments.

For React Native 0.74 support, you'll need to upgrade to Reanimated 3.10.0 or newer.

I found the solution, just downgrade RN to 0.73.0 v, if you see this table, the Reanimated 0.8.1v don´t support RN 0.74.0.

where did you find this table? is it useable for other deps?

[tomekzaw]

@coofzilla The compatibility table is in the Reanimated docs: https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/guides/compatibility/
