Xcode 15 RN 0.59 error: UIViewController is missing its initial trait collection populated during initialization

[igorSysmap]

What happened?

I'm maintaining a legacy app built with React Native. I can build it, and the app opens without issues on both iOS 16 and iOS 17 devices. The problem occurs when I try to log in. On the iOS 16 device, when I click the login button, I'm directed to the home screen, which is the expected behavior. On the iOS 17 device, the following error occurs. I've been researching for days and can't find anything to help me deal with this problem. I know it's a complicated situation because it's a very old version of React Native, but currently, updating is not an option. I appreciate anyone who can help.

Erro

Exception 'UIViewController is missing its initial trait collection populated during initialization.

What was the expected behaviour?

I tried to do the process in Xcode 15.3 and used yarn install --ignore-engines.

Was it tested on latest react-native-navigation?

• I have tested this issue on the latest react-native-navigation release and it still reproduces.

Help us reproduce this issue!

@smitaraut554434 I didn't find any other way to solve it other than redoing the project. Now I'm using Expo and my problems have been resolved. Thank you anyway and good luck
