Unable to resolve dependency tree with react-navigation-stack

Question

I'm trying to learn navigation in React-native and I want to run this code:

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {StyleSheet, Text, View} from 'react-native';

import {createAppContainer} from 'react-navigation';
import {createStackNavigator} from '@react-navigation/stack';

export default class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return <AppContainer />;
  }
}

class HomeScreen extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text>Home</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const AppNavigator = createStackNavigator({
  Home: {
    screen: HomeScreen,
  },
});

const AppContainer = createAppContainer(AppNavigator);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
});

But when I try to run with android I got an error like:

 Error: Creating a navigator doesn't take an argument. Maybe you are trying to use React Navigation 4 API with React Navigation 5? See https://reactnavigation.org/docs/upgrading-from-4.x for migration guide.
 ERROR  Invariant Violation: Module AppRegistry is not a registered callable module (calling runApplication). A frequent cause of the error is that the application entry file path is incorrect.
      This can also happen when the JS bundle is corrupt or there is an early initialization error when loading React Native.

After a brief research I tried re-install all dependencies and stuff. But still got an error when I tried to run "expo install react-native-gesture-handler react-native-reanimated react-native-screens react-native-safe-area-context @react-native-community/masked-view" >:

I couldn't find any updated solution online. And finally here is my package.json file:

Answer 1

For me the following worked:

npm install @react-native-community/masked-view --force

Answer 2

I guess following code is not enough for npm to save our dependency.

npm install @react-native-community/masked-view --force

When I also used --save option, it worked for me. Try the following:

npm install --save @react-native-community/masked-view --force
npm install react-native-safe-area-context
