Hi @ggepenyan 👋
This library is not working with Expo managed workflow as it relies on native code that is not available in the Expo Go app.
To use it with Expo, you'll need to switch to the bare workflow and make a custom Expo build for your app. You can find instructions on how to do that here.
If you can't do it and still need custom shadows on Android, your best option is probably to use a library like react-native-shadow-2 that relies on react-native-svg (available in Expo managed workflow) to render shadows.
@simontreny There is a confusion about wording: expo-dev-client (or developement builds) uses managed workflow. https://docs.expo.dev/develop/development-builds/create-a-build/
So yes, this library is fully compatible with Expo but not Expo Go
