@doranteseduardo it happens with those versions above on original post and when I start Viro on the app. It happens when deploying on an Android 13 device.

@tranminhnhat1005 Yes that version works but latest version updates android libraries and I believe is causing it to happen on the version of RN I originally said. I have updated RN to 0.73.0 and it does not happens anymore.

Yes, I have some projects with different react-native versions, and which project using >=0.73.0 worked. I tried to finding the reason and found it:
