Please help me find what the issue might be and my react-native version is "react": "16.13.1" and "react-native": "0.63.2",

@jenipharachel Try bumping your react up to at least version 17.0.1.

[jenipharachel]

@jennmueng Would that disrupt other dependencies like the other libraries I have used for my application?

[jennmueng]

@jenipharachel Never mind this is my mistake, 16.13.1 is the correct version corresponding to your React Native version. Does it work if you pass --legacy-peer-deps when doing the npm install? We will need to solve this issue upstream as it's coming from @sentry/react.

[jenipharachel]

@jennmueng Thanks! npm install --save @sentry/react-native --legacy-peer-deps worked

👍 Experiencing this issue with 2.2.0 as well and this did allow me to install. The dependency from sentry-react-native for react-dom needs to be loosened please.

Closing this to consolidate with #1065
