modal wont show unless I have @react-navigation/elements in package.json

[pcvengros]

Current behaviour

In current project I am using DatePickerModal and TimePickerModal. They worked great until I made cleanup of my package.json. After removing "@react-navigation/elements" they stopped showing - state changed but they were not visible. Tried reinstall package, didn't help. After adding "@react-navigation/elements" back to package.json, all started working....

Expected behaviour

All should work after "npm install react-native-paper-dates"

Your Environment

software	version
react-native	0.79.2
react-native-paper	5.14.4
node	24.1.0
npm or yarn	npm
expo sdk	not used

Hey! Thanks for opening the issue. Can you provide a minimal repro which demonstrates the issue? Posting a snippet of your code in the issue is useful, but it's not usually straightforward to run. A repro will help us debug the issue faster. Please try to keep the repro as small as possible. The easiest way to provide a repro is on snack.expo.dev. If it's not possible to repro it on snack.expo.dev, then you can also provide the repro in a GitHub repository.

I am sorry, it's active commercial project so can't share code.
Project is not using expo at all. We have pure react-native+react+react-native-paper

I’m interested in debugging hidden dependencies and improving developer experience. This issue is a great chance to help others avoid this kind of confusion.

I'm going to close this as it seems outside the scope of this library. If you are able to reproduce this feel free to post an reproducible example.
