React Native UI Lib build fails on Expo SDK 56 – HighlighterViewPackage and KeyboardInputPackage not found in PackageList.java

[milan-greycube]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to use React Native UI Lib in a fresh Expo SDK 56 project. I was previously using the same library with Expo SDK 54, and everything worked without any issues.

However, after creating a new project with Expo SDK 56 and installing react-native-ui-lib, the Android build fails with the following errors:

PackageList.java:80: error: cannot find symbol
new HighlighterViewPackage(),
^
PackageList.java:81: error: cannot find symbol
new KeyboardInputPackage(getApplication()),
^
Environment
Expo SDK: 56
React Native: (version bundled with Expo SDK 56)
Platform: Android
Library: react-native-ui-lib
What I Tried
Installed react-native-ui-lib in a fresh Expo SDK 56 project.
Cleared node modules and reinstalled dependencies.
Regenerated native folders (android / ios).
Ran a clean Android build.

The build still fails with the same PackageList.java errors.

Question

Has anyone successfully used react-native-ui-lib with Expo SDK 56?

Are HighlighterViewPackage and KeyboardInputPackage currently incompatible with the React Native version used by Expo 56, or is there any additional setup/migration step required?

Any guidance or working configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
