I did not do anything new, neither modified code, Also, i am not sure if it happened at install or link but the output of the command was something like "

Answer 1

It's seems like the package have changed location. It used to be com.cboy.rn and now seems to be org.devio.rn

---

So in MainApplication.java

import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreenReactPackage;

---

And in MainActivity.java

import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;

---

But even then the app kept crashing, So I re-install everything and the paths were correct this time with the Automatic Installation.

Answer 2

The automatic linking didn't work fully for me and the website instructions seem to be out of date. I had to add these:

\\MainApplication.java
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreenReactPackage;

\\ MainActivity.java
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;
import android.os.Bundle;
