Description

`No ViewManager found for class RNCSafeAreaProvider
get (ViewManagerRegistry.java:88)

Steps to reproduce

Create new React Native project (react-native init MyApp --version 0.80.1)

Add/remove some packages (navigation, safe area context, etc.)

Run npx react-native run-android

App crashes with above error

Expected behavior
App should run without throwing RNCSafeAreaProvider error.

Actual behavior
App crashes immediately with red screen error (attached screenshot).

Additional context
Looks like react-native-safe-area-context is either missing or not linked properly. Even after removing extra packages, app still crashes.

The issue was fixed for me by installing react-native-safe-area-context and recompiling an App.
