Unable to resolve "./SafeAreaContext"

Question

I recently set up react-native project with expo and later on I added @react-navigation packages.

It seems like this wasn't enough as NavigationContainer render complains about SafeAreaContext

I tried to install required packages with expo install react-native-safe-area-context ... but It didn't solve it.

Thought deleting node_modules && npm install could help, but it didn't work either.

There were related questions to this issue , but they didn't provide much help

I will appreciate your help.

Here's what I get in android emulator

terminal

Unable to resolve "./SafeAreaContext" from "node_modules\react-native-safe-area-context\src\index.tsx"
Failed building JavaScript bundle.

App.tsx

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { AppLoading } from 'expo'
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';

function Test() {
  return (
    <View
      style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'space-between', alignItems: 'center' }}
    >
      <Text>Test</Text>
    </View>
  );
}
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();

export default function App() {
 const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);


  if(!loaded) {
    return <AppLoading
      startAsync={() => Promise.resolve()}
      onFinish={() => setLoaded(true)}/>
  }

  return <NavigationContainer>
    </NavigationContainer>
}

Look like cleaning expo cache helped

expo r -c

expo r --help

Usage: start|r [options] [project-dir]
Starts or restarts a local server for your app and gives you a URL to it

 Options:
    -c, --clear           Clear the Metro bundler cache
   ....

expo --version
3.21.3
