      onDateChange={date => this.setState({ date })}
      mode={"date"}
      locale={'en'}
      style={{
            width: Dimensions.get('window').width,
            height: Dimensions.get('window').height / 3,

Workaround

• If you are using RN > 0.72 and later
• Check if the date-picker crashes or not. If crashed, try this workaround.
• Go to iOS folder > DatePicker.m > Replace setup function

-(void)setup {
    if(@available(iOS 13, *)) {
        self.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = UIUserInterfaceStyleLight;
    }
    if (@available(iOS 13, *)) {
        self.preferredDatePickerStyle = UIDatePickerStyleInline; // it will use "Calendar" style date picker for iOS v13 to v16
    } 
    if (@available(iOS 17, *)) {
        self.preferredDatePickerStyle = UIDatePickerStyleWheels; // // it will use traditional (rolling wheels) style date picker for iOS v17 and later
    }
    self.calendar = [NSCalendar calendarWithIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
}
