@cdoyle45 the same problem occurred to me and I did the following to temporarily resolve this problem.

Before:

"react-native-svg": "^5.1.8",

After:

"react-native-svg": "5.1.8",

Version 5.2.0 does not seem to be working properly and the above error occurs.

updating my "react-native-svg" version to currently latest version 8.0.9 works for me! "dependencies": { ... "react-native-svg": "8.0.9", ... }
