Build error on initial app RN 0.67.2

Description

There’s an error while simplest npx init for current RN version 0.67.2, and everything was fine for RN 0.64.2…

ERROR: Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication). 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

Actual behavior & steps to reproduce

1. npx react-native init test (current latest RN version is 0.67.2)
2. install Reanimated…
3. replace App.js by:

import {View} from 'react-native';

import Animated from 'react-native-reanimated';

const App = () => (
  <View style={{height: 100, aspectRatio: 1, backgroundColor: 'tomato'}} />
);

export default App;

1. npx react-native run-android and you’ll get the error above.

Snack or minimal code example

Just create an app by calling npx react-native test, install Reanimated, import Reanimated lib from App.js and try to run…

Hurts my heart when the fix is downgrading. 💔

fuck It seems that I have also this error in one of my projects

Update: I fixed it somehow by adding the reanimated bable plugin & after that I completely rebuilt the app + npx react-native start --reset-cache
