Hello, Thanks so much for working on this—I’m really looking forward to the final product! I have a question about an issue I’m seeing, and I’m not sure whether it warrants a separate bug ticket, so I wanted to ask here first. I’m running React Native 0.77 with the new architecture (Fabric) enabled. I’m getting the following error in this file: UIManager.getViewManagerConfig(ComponentName) is evaluating to be null.
My question is: Why is it relying on the interop layer? I also wasn’t able to get v6 working due to a similar problem with the interop layer not functioning correctly. Any insights or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks again for your help. |

That is strange, as in v7 we don't use any interop layer. I am using our example (Bare, RN 0.77) with New Archtitecture enabled on daily basis and I have never seen this error. We are using if we look into React Native Code we can see Old Arch ...
getViewManagerConfig(viewManagerName: string): any {
return getViewManagerConfig(viewManagerName);
},
hasViewManagerConfig(viewManagerName: string): boolean {
return getViewManagerConfig(viewManagerName) != null;
},
... New Arch ...
getViewManagerConfig: (viewManagerName: string): mixed => {
if (getUIManagerConstants) {
const constants = getUIManagerConstantsCached();
if (
!constants[viewManagerName] &&
UIManagerJS.getConstantsForViewManager
) {
constants[viewManagerName] =
UIManagerJS.getConstantsForViewManager(viewManagerName);
}
return constants[viewManagerName];
} else {
raiseSoftError(
`getViewManagerConfig('${viewManagerName}')`,
`If '${viewManagerName}' has a ViewManager and you want to retrieve its native ViewConfig, please turn on the native ViewConfig interop layer. If you want to see if this component is registered with React Native, please call hasViewManagerConfig('${viewManagerName}') instead.`,
);
return null;
}
},
hasViewManagerConfig: (viewManagerName: string): boolean => {
return unstable_hasComponent(viewManagerName);
},
...So there was clearly some changes that I was not aware of - anyway I tested here is PR - #4601 |

Thanks Krzysztof The fix is working. It evaluates to 'true' now. I initially did the same fix but was not sure if it is right because I was hit with the following crash. Maybe you you have seen it before. |

@ivosw Good News! I think this PR #4616 should fix error from #4600 - I already tested it in new blank app and it works - can you test if this fixes issue for you? Thanks! |

Why we built this
Over the last years, we’ve been maintaining and improving react-native-video for the community. But with the new architecture now stable, we knew it was time to:
v7 is not just an update - it’s the foundation for the future of video in React Native
How does v7 perform?
We benchmarked
v7against bothv6andexpo-video, averaging across iOS + Android and old + new architecturesPreloading support (new in v7)
react-native-video v7is the first version to support preloading - drastically improving startup timeWhat’s missing?
v7 is still in its first alpha, which means a few things are not there yet - including:
That said, core playback already works well, but to reach stable, we need feedback to catch edge cases and time to implement the remaining features
Contributing & feedback
We’d love your help shaping the future of
react-native-videoWhether it’s testing the alpha, opening issues, fixing bugs, or submitting improvements - we’re fully open to contributions from the community.
🛠 The code for v7 lives on a separate branch: v7
