App Crashes When Initializing Sendbird Calls with @sendbird/calls-react-native

Sendbird Voice/Video Calls React Native
1

[Problem/Question]
Hello, I’m experiencing an issue where my app consistently crashes when calling SendbirdCalls.initialize(APP_ID) after installing @sendbird/calls-react-native. The app runs normally if I comment out the SendbirdCalls.initialize line, but it crashes immediately when this function is called.

I’ve attempted several troubleshooting steps, including:

  • Deleting and reinstalling node_modules, ios, and android folders
  • Reinstalling the @sendbird/calls-react-native package
  • Installing an older version (“@sendbird/calls-react-native”: “^1.1.3”)

However, the problem persists. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.
