Guten Tag, Hans here. Thanks for ze detailed report, but it seems like you're missing some relevant logs from your build process. We need to see more output to understand ze issue properly. Please include those logs and check ze documentation for guidance on using react-native-mmkv. Also, if you appreciate mrousavy's time and effort, considering sponsoring ze project here. 🥨

Note: If you think I made a mistake by closing this issue, please ping @mrousavy to take a look.

[mrousavy]

@enavermate are you using sdk 52? the API you should is for sdk 51 and below
https://docs.expo.dev/guides/new-architecture/#enable-the-new-architecture-in-an-existing-project

i've encountered the same issue and want to try and migrate back to mmkv v3

[enavermate]

@gabimoncha yes

I've used last suggested by Expo package versions throw npx expo install --check

[gabimoncha]

cool. will give it a try then

[haivle]

I'm encountering the same issue with

    expo: 52.0.35
    react-native: 0.76.7

app.json

"expo": {
    ....
    "newArchEnabled": true,
    ....
}

[mimo-10]

Same issue, any suggestion
expo version : 52.0.37

    ]
  }
}

it worked . i installed expo-build-properties and then added the plugin config as shown here.

[redbluenat]

I have the same problem, any ideas on how to fix it?

expo: 52.0.35
react-native: 0.76.7

[gabimoncha]

@mrousavy is it possible that turbomodules is enabled only through expo-build-properties "newArchEnabled"

it seems that turbomodules is disabled either way, and has to be manually enabled in app.json

experiments: {
  turboModules: true
}

[mrousavy]

I guess - I don't use Expo.
Bare RN has new arch enabled by default for a long time now, not sure about Expo.
