So the part where I think the problems happens that it cant find the react-native-reanimated-66-jsc.aar file.

I looked up in the folder and also cant find them.

What I already did

I updated everything. I deleted the node_modules folder and installed again I also cleared cache and biuld again I searched for other issues but all I found was about the react-native-reanimated-65-jsc.aar file which I have. I checked package.json for the correct version

I also installed the react-native-reanimated package like it was described in the docs on https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/fundamentals/installation

Can someone help me how to add this file ?

Sincerly

this is a react-native-reanimated issue and i already created an issue on their repo

[coolusaHD]

Found it 🙈

The command npm install react-native-reanimated@next dont provide the beta.2 just the beta.1

Force updated it and it works…
