React Native: TypeError - _$$REQUIRE(_dependencyMap[3], "(...)helpers/objectWithoutProperties") is not a function

Question

I'm working on a React Native project, and I'm facing the following error when running my app for ios.

ERROR  TypeError: _$$_REQUIRE(_dependencyMap[3], "(...)helpers/objectWithoutProperties") is not a function (it is Object)

This error is located at:
    in MaskedView (created by HeaderBackButton)
    in RCTView (created by View)
    in View (created by Pressable)
    in Pressable (created by Pressable)
    in Unknown (created by PlatformPressable)
    in PlatformPressable (created by HeaderButton)
    in HeaderButton (created by HeaderBackButton)
    in HeaderBackButton (created by Header)
    in RCTView (created by View)
    ...
    in BttSdkExample(RootComponent), js engine: hermes

What I’ve Tried So Far:

1. Resetting Metro Bundler Cache: npx react-native start --reset-cache

2. Reinstalling dependencies:

   • rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json yarn.lock

   • npm install

3. Reinstalling Pods

   cd ios && pod install --repo-update && cd ..

4. Ensuring the latest Babel runtime is installed

   npm install @babel/runtime@latest

Questions:

• What could be causing objectWithoutProperties to be imported as an object instead of a function?

• Is there a known issue with Hermes or Babel that could trigger this?

• Could this be a problem with a specific library (e.g., react-navigation), and how do I debug it?

• Is this issue because of any dependancies issue react native screens

Answer 1

Solution Worked For me : Install a Compatible Version of react-native-masked-view

In my case i've install 0.3.2:

npm install @react-native-masked-view/[email protected]

It resolved the issue.
