If you init a new project with npx react-native newexample, you will see it works. So what you have is a project specific problem, not a react native problem. That suggests stackoverflow.com for support with a minimal reproducible example posted for help.

Resolved the issue finally. Hermes 0.9.0 doesn’t work with RN 0.65.1, it works well with 0.8.1. Strict Compatibility.

I normally don’t like writing off old releases quickly, but in this case the react-native 0.66 version is (for me) a huge win when it comes to “won’t everything just build now, please…” 😃. Glad you got it working
