New Bug: ReanimatedError: [Reanimated] Native part of Reanimated doesn't seem to be initialized.

Description

I've installed reanimated in the latest version of react native cli but it is giving error :
my react native version: 0.76.4 and reanimated version: 3.16.3
ReanimatedError: [Reanimated] Native part of Reanimated doesn't seem to be initialized.
Below are the configurations I've set up:

//babel.config.js
module.exports = {
 presets: ['module:@react-native/babel-preset', 'nativewind/babel'],
 plugins: ['react-native-reanimated/plugin'],
};

My dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@react-native-community/blur": "^4.4.1",
    "@react-navigation/bottom-tabs": "^7.1.3",
    "@react-navigation/drawer": "^7.0.19",

    "prettier": "2.8.8",
    "react-test-renderer": "18.3.1",
    "typescript": "5.0.4"
  },

Also I've tried to clear cache with this command:

yarn start --reset-cache

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a React native Cli project using this command:
   npx @react-native-community/cli init ProjectName

2. Setup the project according to reanimated docs.

3. Write any code to use reanimated for ex:

import Animated from 'react-native-reanimated';
export default function App() {
  return (
    <Animated.View
      style={{
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        backgroundColor: 'violet',
      }}
    />
  );
}

4. You'll get the not initialize error

Can confirm, I am getting the same issue on the exact same versions.

[AlphaebarcodeDevelopers]

Same issue on the Same Version but 0.76.3 is working fine.

[huan415201]

same here:
"react-native-reanimated": "^3.16.3",
"react-native": "0.76.4",

[gyanbhartip]

I had upgraded both react-native-reanimated & react-native from 3.16.2 & 0.76.3 respectively.

react-native-reanimated@3.16.3 is working fine with react-native@0.76.3. But neither 3.16.2 nor 3.16.3 works with RN 0.76.4.

Seems like the React Native Team have fixed the issue and are working to merge the revert in the linked PR:

facebook/react-native#48173 (comment)

UPDATE: Upgrading to RN 0.76.5 fixed linking issues on Android

[gyanbhartip]

Upgrading to RN 0.76.5 fixes this.

[faizan2301]

React Native team has launched latest version 0.76.5 in that version it is fixed.
npx @react-native-community/cli init ProjectName
If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
npx @react-native-community/cli@X.XX.X init AwesomeProject --version X.XX.X
