No interface method putArray in class WritableMap React-Native - react-native

Question

I use RN version: "0.61.5"
The problem is that I installed react-native-beacons-manager 1.0.7 (note that the npm version the last time was updated a long time ago, but I tried the last Github version as well) but I can't use it as when I try to run my application the app crashes. Moreover, it doesn't show the red screen with an error stack trace. I looked into logs and found out that the problem is connected with WrittableArray, here's logs
2020-05-05 06:20:49.500 5218-5306/com.freeline E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: IntentService[BeaconIntentProcessor]

I found the function that caused the crashes, here it is:
private WritableMap createRangingResponse(Collection<Beacon> beacons, Region region) {
WritableMap map = new WritableNativeMap();
map.putString("identifier", region.getUniqueId());
map.putString("uuid", region.getId1() != null ? region.getId1().toString() : "");
WritableArray a = new WritableNativeArray();
for (Beacon beacon : beacons) {
WritableMap b = new WritableNativeMap();
b.putString("uuid", beacon.getId1().toString());
b.putInt("major", beacon.getId2().toInt());
b.putInt("minor", beacon.getId3().toInt());
b.putInt("rssi", beacon.getRssi());
b.putDouble("distance", beacon.getDistance());
b.putString("proximity", getProximity(beacon.getDistance()));
a.pushMap(b);
}
map.putArray("beacons", a); // <- The line that produces the exception
return map;
}
Then I read a bunch of posts and understand that the problem is in the implementation of WritableMap in new versions of RN.
So, my question is: Is there any method to resolve it, I've already addressed the issue here. I'm aware of the possibility of downgrading the RN version to ^60, but I'd keep it as the last possible method.
Appreciate your help

Answer 1

I solved the problem simply by downgrading to the version 60.6 of RN.
