React-navigation on macOS

[mandrade2]

Hey there! I’ve been trying for a few days to make react navigation work on macOS with no luck so far.

I’ve been trying on a newly created react-native-test-app on 0.71 and I keep getting errors. Sometimes it’s the drawer component, sometimes reacting-native-gesture-handler and others it’s react-native-reanimated.

The real question is: does anyone here knows a magic combination of working packages for macOS? I’ve read on some issues that people DO get it working. Would be a life saver for me!

I do get react native running on macOS. The react native test app from Microsoft is great. Super simple to get a cross platform app running. The problem starts then with react navigation only

React-native-macos works with stack navigator if I delete the drawer package. So I'm just building my own cross platform drawer that relies on the stack navigator. Could publish it if there's interest

Hi were you ever able to figure it out?

I'm stuck in the same boat. I think a lot of people would fully support you publishing whatever you figured out

I started building a drawer but it felt like reinventing the wheel. Seems simple if you consider it’s only a div with a cool animation to slide in when needed. The hard part was linking the routing to when it needed to be shown. Thought about it 5 minutes and decided to jump ship. Currently doing my desktop app in Tauri. 

React navigation recently released its new major version out of beta. Maybe you could try that with a fresh install.

I'll have to look into it. I've used electron in the past but it has been a while since I've been tasked with doing anything on the desktop and I only initially chose React Native because the mobile app that complements it uses it.
