Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "ContextMenu" was not found in the UIManager.

[fernando-ropero-akimad]

When using this component I encounter the following error:

ios works fine but android gives error.

I've tried:

Restarting computer
Re-adding and re installing with yarn (I don't use npm)
A bunch of stuff with pods I can't even remember

"react-native-context-menu-view": "^1.9.1"
"react-native": "0.69.7",

Same issue with react-native 0.71.8

[mimo-10]

For Expo users: I was able to solve this by simply rebuilding in Expo.

[williamlmao]

Same issue - @AlanHazel how did you rebuild expo? expo start with the --clear flag?

[itemsCenter]

clearing the cache build doesn't help in expo

[mpiannucci]

I updated the example app to the latest react native and built fresh and I am not seeing the error unfortunately

[PMVPYW]

Can it be the android version?

[mpiannucci]

I had this issue at one point on android, and running the following cleared it up:

rm -rf node_modules
cd android
./gradlew clean
cd ../
yarn install
react-native run-android --reset-cache

Same problem with Expo here. My versions: This lib is 1.14.1, Expo v. 49.0.21, React Native v. 0.72.6.

Tried cleaning Expo cache, expo install --check, start with npx expo start --clear, nothing worked. I get the same error both in Android and iOS.

@mpiannucci please have a look, I am also getting the same issue.

"expo": "~49.0.21"
"react": "18.2.0"
"react-native": "0.72.6"
"react-native-context-menu-view": "^1.14.1"

I also faced this issue in expo and when i run with development build, i can able to use the component without any error.
If anyone facing same issue refer this expo documentation

[arkabhowmik]

For those who are still facing the error on expo, you need to -

1. Install this library using npm install react-native-context-menu-view --save.
2. Run eas build --profile development to create a new development build.

[nico-cohesion]

Also an issue in:
"expo": "51.0.8"
"react-native": "0.74.1"
"react-native-context-menu-view": "^1.16.0"

[stefan-stankovic]

Has anyone fixed this?

[willashley23]

Bump. Running into the same issue still. I created a development build, and can get it to run in the simulator using npx expo run:ios, but it doesn't work inside Expo Go. Would really appreciate some help here, it looked really nice in the simulator!

[mpiannucci]

I don't think it will ever work in expo go. You need to install the dev build on an actual device

[willashley23]

Yeah, I realized Expo Go can't render some native components so things like this will only ever work in a dev build.
