See #541 (comment)

[mbpictures]

have the same error, even with the newest version (as op mentioned in the title)

[nazacity]

i upgrade to rn 0.76.1 still got the error

[vonovak]

Hello!
Can you try cleaning your android project and running find . -name ".cxx" -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' + (deletes .cxx folders which might be cached from previous build) from the root of your repo?
Please let me know if that helps, thank you.

edit: or alternatively git clean -xfd

[mbpictures]

I already tried that (deleting .cxx and build folders from android and android/app and deleting&reinstalling whole node_modules) without any success

[vonovak]

Hi! Well, in that case I believe a Minimal, Reproducible Example will be needed. Note that the CI on this PR passes - that PR runs an app with RN 0.76.1 and builds for both old and new architecture.

i upgraded react-native-safe-area-context to V4.13.1
delete node_modules reinstall
delete .cxx folder
npx react-native clean
still no hope

[nazacity]

i updated every lib by ncu -i then delete node_modules reinstall again and npm run state --reset-cache
this time success

I already tried that (deleting .cxx and build folders from android and android/app and deleting&reinstalling whole node_modules) without any success

try to update all lib
specially
