I fixed the issue by patching it by removing the codegenConfig block from the node_modules/react-native-config/package.json.

Cause: react-native-config had a "codegenConfig" field in the package.json > RN autolinking mistakenly assumed TurboModule required native codegen, when in fact it didn't.

This worked for me

I'm getting exactly the same issue after upgrading RN to 0.81, and latest android studio Narwhal

Additional log error:

1.5.7 same too, but 1.5.6 is ok.

[edritech93]

same for me

[aravi365]

try newArchEnabled=false in android/gradle.properties

this will work, but its simply a workaround which disable the newArch for the entire app, isnt it?

[Devbiswasnegi]

try newArchEnabled=false in android/gradle.properties

What’s the purpose of the new React Native architecture if newArchEnabled = false?

[aravi365]

#844 - should fix this issue @erickreutz

[Devbiswasnegi]

try newArchEnabled=false in android/gradle.properties

this will work, but its simply a workaround which disable the newArch for the entire app, isnt it?

yes, you are right @aravi365, instead of doing this
do change the version of react-native-config to 1.5.6

[cl3i550n]

+1 in 1.5.7

[hemantasapkota]

+1 in 1.5.7. Works if you downgrade to 1.5.6.
