ViewPropTypes has been removed from React Native

[Kris]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-camera@4.2.1 for the project I'm working on.

It talks about deprecated ViewPropTypes in 0.69 React native, they have even been removed from React Native so the app cannot start.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/react-native-camera/src/RNCamera.js b/node_modules/react-native-camera/src/RNCamera.js
index b7a271a..6dd3123 100644

Is someone maintaining it?

[Wojciech Maj]

Clearly not. https://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera#react-native-camera-is-deprecated

opened a pull request #3442

I have followed and applied the fix but now I get a unhandled promise rejection now...did this occur or what RN version are you using?

[Aziz Mobarak]

@bearsworth if you are using RN >67 then go to build.gradle under app folder you will find a line
missingDimensionStrategy 'react-native-camera', 'general' change general to mlkit
