Description

While trying to upgrade react-native from 0.66 to 0.70 in a monorepo setup, I was able to compile the webpage using react-native-web but there was an uncaught TypeError that causes the webpage to display a white page.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get')
    at ../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/lib/NativeRNVectorIcons.js (NativeRNVectorIcons.js:21:37)
    at options.factory (react refresh:6:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:24:1)
    at fn (hot module replacement:62:1)
    at ../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/lib/ensure-native-module-available.js (ensure-native-module-available.js:1:1)

    at options.factory (react refresh:6:1)

I suspect that the lib/NativeRNVectorIcons.web.js is not mocking lib/NativeRNVectorIcons.js, not sure why at this point.
Currently my only resolution for this would be to stick to RNVI 9.2.0. Upgrading react-native-web from 0.18 to 0.19 would be a huge change and I ideally do not want to go on with that at the moment since the react-native upgrade has been a tedious process.

Hope this is enough information to help me diagnose my issue ๐Ÿ˜… Thank you in advance. Please feel free to ask for more info if required.

@JavanHuang I suspect as you allude to that the .web version isn't being loaded when it should be. Which would point to a webpack issue. Your config does look about right though.

Does RNVI 9.2.0 work? I did quick diff and there aren't any changes I can see that would impact this

@johnf Thanks for the follow-up! I'm currently using RNVI 9.2.0 within my project so there is no impact in downgrading from 10.0.3 to 9.2.0.

However, I noticed there was a new release of RNVI 10.1.0. Would it be recommended to upgrade react-native to >=0.71 in order to make it compatible to RNVI >=10.1.0?

@JavanHuang You could give that a try, but I can't guarantee it will work as I'm not sure why it isn't currently working for you
