**Problem**  
I’m working to update our app to RN version 0.71.4 and I keep getting an error related to the `@sendbird/uikit-react-native` sdk

Same problem here, trying to upgrade to React Native 0.71.4. The docs don’t mention a max supported version and seem to promote using the latest stable version of RN. [Setting up the development environment · React Native](https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup?guide=native)

It seems as thought providing a `no op` to the `userProfile` param fixes the issues.
