Description

Upgrade from 0.68.1 to 0.70.0. Builds fine in Xcode. Launches Simulator. Splash screen for app appears.

and then it crashes with the error:

ERROR Invariant Violation: Failed to call into JavaScript module method AppRegistry.runApplication(). Module has not been registered as callable. Registered callable JavaScript modules (n = 11): Systrace, JSTimers, HeapCapture, SamplingProfiler, RCTLog, RCTDeviceEventEmitter, RCTNativeAppEventEmitter, GlobalPerformanceLogger, JSDevSupportModule, HMRClient, RCTEventEmitter. A frequent cause of the error is that the application entry file path is incorrect. This can also happen when the JS bundle is corrupt or there is an early initialization error when loading React Native., js engine: hermes

I succeed to avoid this error. In my case, it was due to the react-native-gesture-handler that changed.

Previously we needed to import it at the top of the root file, now we must do that in App.js instead

import { GestureHandlerRootView } from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
/* ... */
// Wrap your app with the new GestureHandler
<GestureHandlerRootView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
  /* your app */
</GestureHandlerRootView>

Hope it will help
