TypeError: el.getNode is not a function

I upgraded react-native version from v0.61.0 to 0.65.0 using rn community upgrade helper .

After making changes in the package.json file, running npm install, cleaning the build folder in android, the build gets successful and the app launches with an error screen.

TypeError: el.getNode is not a function

This error is located at:

I have also updated react-navigation from 3.x to 4.x.Still no success.
I am not able to understand what this snippet is referring to.

TypeError: el.getNode is not a function

I am struggling to run android as of now. Not tested on ios build.

I figured out that I was using the react-navigation-tabs package in my application.Go to node_modules > react-navigation-tabs > node_modules > react-navigation-tab-view > src > TabBar.js.

In this TabBar.js file, you will find ref={el => (this._scrollView = el && el.getNode())} on line 412.

If you check this._scrollView is assigned to _scrollView: ?ScrollView; on line 147 which is imported from ScrollView of react-native.

Since ScrollView does not contain any el or el.getNode() method,the bundler throws the error showing el.getNode() is undefined.

To fix this follow these steps:

• Use Import {Animated} from react-native;
• On line 147, change fault code to _scrollView: Animated.ScrollView;
• On line 412, change faulty code to (this.scrollView = el && (el.getNode ? el.getNode() : el))
• Clean and rebuild your project,it should work fine now.
