After several lookups on the Internet, I found the solution. The problem was with the react-native-screens version. Just downgraded it to 1.0.0-alpha.22 from 1.0.0-alpha.23

After successfully fixing it, I encountered this error during build.

then looked up more and found that it is something related to react-native-notifications. This issue helped me in solving it wix/react-native-notifications#236

In the MainApplication.java

replace: new RNNotificationsPackage(),
with: new RNNotificationsPackage(MainApplication.this),

After doing the above changes, I ran the build and finally it was successful.

By the way, you shouldn't be doing react-native link

From debugging in chat, we learned that the cause was that you'd run the command react-native link, which edits the source code.

In particular, it apparently adds the line new RNNotificationsPackage(),, which as you found is not well-typed.

The solution is to not run that command, which doesn't do anything useful for us 🙂

Might be useful to have an entry in the setup troubleshooting section to help recognize this error if someone else runs into it in the future.

Yeah, now I get it, running react-native link creates a lot of unnecessary mess 😁

The way I put it about react-native link in general is:

Some React Native projects reportedly say in their build instructions
to run this command before building. This is a bad practice: the
command edits the project's source files in heuristic ways, and so it
should always be a development step -- with the results committed to
the project's version-control repo -- and not a build step. We don't
use it as a build step.

[realabbas]

Yeah, and it will be very useful instruction that you added in the build-run.md
