Explain what you did

I wanted to install latest packages with npm.

Expected behavior

That everything works fine with npm install.

Describe the bug

When I run npm i it gives an error because of dependecies.

 "react-native-safe-area-context": "^4.4.1",

This started happening when I updated expo sdk version which in turn updated react-native-safe-area-acontext library. This is the issue I opened with expo.

Steps To Reproduce

Install react-native-elements, then install react-native-safe-area-context.

Try npm install react-native-elements --legacy-peer-deps

Yeah, this is not exactly a solution, just a temporary work-around. I don’t want to perform the npm install with --legacy-peer-deps each time, as that opens the door for a lot of other issues. Would appreciate an update to this as soon as possible 👍

Hi @arpitBhalla, thanks for your input. I did and that works, but doesn’t actually solve the issue it just bipasses. The dependecy issue is still there which is problematic to use with expo and to build for a deploy.
