The Code Of Tab Navigator That I have written for tabs. I am using physical device for test:
import React from 'react';
import {createBottomTabNavigator} from '#react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import Home from '../views/Home';
import Auth from '../views/Auth';
import Bucket from '../views/Bucket';
import Menu from '../views/Menu';
import {NavigationContainer} from '#react-navigation/native';
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
export default function tabNavigation() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Tab.Navigator initialRouteName="home">
<Tab.Screen name="home" component={Home} />
<Tab.Screen name="auth" component={Auth} />
<Tab.Screen name="bucket" component={Bucket} />
<Tab.Screen name="menu" component={Menu} />
</Tab.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}

Answer 1

Ran into the same error. Turns out, bottom tabs navigator also needs react-native-screens.
yarn add react-native-screens | npm install react-native-screens should do the trick. You may have to re-build or clear your cache as well.

Answer 2

Try to replace your screen one by one and you will find your trouble maker
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native'
import {createBottomTabNavigator} from '#react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
//import Home from '../views/Home';
//import Auth from '../views/Auth';
//import Bucket from '../views/Bucket';
//import Menu from '../views/Menu';
import {NavigationContainer} from '#react-navigation/native';
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
function Dummy() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center' }}>
<Text>Dummy</Text>
</View>
);
}
export default function tabNavigation() {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Tab.Navigator initialRouteName="home">
<Tab.Screen name="home" component={Dummy} />
<Tab.Screen name="auth" component={Dummy} />
<Tab.Screen name="bucket" component={Dummy} />
<Tab.Screen name="menu" component={Dummy} />
</Tab.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
}
