    I can't repro this. What command are you running?

    @kadiraydinli looks like there is a regression due to the codegen specs PR. I think using a vanilla example app instead of the test app should work for you until we fix the issue

    Hey folks, we've landed 2 more fixes, could you try npx create-react-native-library@latest and create a new project again?

    Same issue, generating "Native View" on Intel i7, running Node v20.15.1

  11. santomegonzalo commented on Jan 9, 2025

    @santomegonzalo

    This issue is still happening using Fabic View

  12. santomegonzalo commented on Jan 9, 2025

    @santomegonzalo

    I just tested it with 0.43.0 and worked... every version after this one stopped working when selecting Fabric View. @satya164 do you have any idea whats going on? My node version is v22.11.0 and maybe you are using another version.

    I tested every version from 0.43.0 onward and none of them worked

  13. santomegonzalo commented on Jan 15, 2025

    @santomegonzalo

    No update on this library? is it being mantained or it is dead? until version 0.43.0 it was working fine... then stopped working

  14. santomegonzalo commented on Jan 20, 2025

    @santomegonzalo

    I know that nobody is looking at this Issue at all, but to give some insights... I just cloned the entire repository and run it locally yarn watch and then packages/create-react-native-library/bin/create-react-native-library and this worked as expected (I did not tested the end result but at least no more error)

  15. John251314 commented on Sep 28, 2025

    @John251314

    This issue is still happening, I need using legacy native module with version 0.49.8, It seem`s not working fine!

  16. NoRoboto commented on Oct 2, 2025

    @NoRoboto

    Yeah, the binary works with node 20 & node 22

    node node_modules/create-react-native-library/bin/create-react-native-library my-library 👌

    Maybe npx combo breaks the executable ? i'm using macOs
