react-native 0.73.2 project getting com.appName.mainActivity can not be cast to com.reactnativenavigation.NavigationActivity

[Martyneris]

What happened?

I've installed the latest (7.37.2) version of react-native-navigation in my 0.73.2 react-native project, Android version builds but upon running the project I get the com.appName.mainActivity can not be cast to com.reactnativenavigation.NavigationActivity error.
I want to emphasize that with the new 0.73.2 react-native version files I wasn't able to fully follow through with your installation.
In react-native 0.73.2 MainActivity.java and MainApplication.java files are replaced with MainActivity.kt and MainApplication.kt respectively and they do not include any of the code that is described in react-native-navigation's installation guide, therefore I didn't know where or what to add.

What was the expected behaviour?

The project runs without any errors

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.

Help us reproduce this issue!

@aneena-thomas do you have error in ios?

[aneena-thomas]

No errors. Keep the old MainActivity.java and MainApplication.java as it is.
