Description

I get an error [RCTView setBackButtonInCustomView:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance when launching an iOS application, the build itself is successful.

It reproduces only with these versions:

"react-native": "0.77.1",
"react-native-screens": "4.5.0" +, (same with "4.6.0", "4.7.0", "4.8.0")

On previous versions everything is correct:

"react-native": "0.76.7",
"react-native-screens": "4.4.0"

Hey! 👋

The issue doesn't seem to contain a minimal reproduction.

Could you provide a snack or a link to a GitHub repository under your username that reproduces the problem?

Please see: https://reactnative.dev/blog/2025/01/21/version-0.77#rctappdependencyprovider and upgrade your project accordingly.

maybe there is a solution if i use expo?

I believe you're still able to edit your AppDelegate even when using Expo. I do not know the commands by heart unfortunately.

the problem still persists
p.s. but only in dev mode, production build - no problem

I would blame caches here. Make sure you nuke the caches and execute a clean build.
