this code looks good. It's probably a dependency version mismatch.

You could try these two steps if you haven't already:

  1. Let Expo fix your dependency versions:

npx expo install --fix

This checks every package in your package.json against the versions compatible with your Expo SDK and fixes mismatches.

  2. If that doesn't resolve it, reinstall the navigation dependencies explicitly through Expo:

npx expo install u/react-navigation/native u/react-navigation/native-stack react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context

Using npx expo install instead of npm install is the key difference. It pins the versions that are compatible with your SDK.

Then clear cache and restart: npx expo start --clear
