Hi there - what version of react-native are you using? Is there anything else you can think of to include that would help figure out why you are seeing this but it works for me ? (https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask / https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example)

this the package json, I got that issue when I install https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-pdf package.

Sounds like you should open an issue in react-native-pdf, I don't even see our package here

Strangely I don't see react-native-pdf in your list of dependencies either, so... how did you install it, without it being in your dependencies 🤔

react-native-pdf doesn't include this package as a transitive dependency either? https://github.com/wonday/react-native-pdf/blob/master/package.json

You're not making it easy to help

I don't see any reference to this package anywhere in any of the information you've provided, so this isn't actionable, and I don't have a lot of time, certainly not to spend looking at non-actionable things
