I built new React Native project yesterday using react-native-cli. But when running the project with my android phone, I got this error in red screen.
Invariant Violation: WebView has been removed from React Native. It can now be installed and imported from 'react-native-webview' instead of 'react-native'. See 'https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview'.
For your scenario Old WebView is now deprecated for better performance and to reduce package sizes. You can find more information about this by here
Solution
Install new WebView Package using this command
npm install --save react-native-webview
You can find more information regarding package installation from here
After installing above mentioned package now remove old imports and re-import WebView like this
import { WebView, } from 'react-native'; //Remove this from your imports
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview'; //Add this to your imports
