I should mention, if you don't trust me enough to take my binary aar file (and who am I anyway?? don't trust me!) the alteration to the aar was:

mkdir temp && cd temp
jar -xvf ../bottomsheet-1.3.1.aar && rm ../bottomsheet-1.3.1.aar
\rm -fr aapt # This is the fix, aapt/AndroidManifest.xml is the problem
jar -cvf ../bottomsheet-1.3.1.aar *

Then just throw that in android/libs and reference it like so in the gradle.

@Doko-Demo-Doa I think this will fix the dependency for your library so you're library users are ready for AndroidX if they want

Sure, let me check and do the merging.

Thank you. Your implementation works well. v2.0.1 pushed with crashing issue fixed too.

It seems in version 2.2.0 this error occurs again, or something very similar.

react-native:0.63.4
react-native-bottomsheet: 2.2.0

I just ran ./gradlew assembleRelease in my project.

UPD: I downgraded back to 2.0.1 but the problem persists. It seems to be a matter of updating react-native.
Then I decided to look into the library files, and find out what is outdated there. Here's what I saw: we use android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW and here's some information on it. Complete obsolescence just happens on android api 29, which uses react-native 0.63. It is not entirely clear why the problem did not appear earlier, but it seems in any case the library has no future, because the alternative that Google offers us does not have the necessary functionality.

P.s. Perhaps someone who is better versed in native code than me will look at this and say that I'm wrong. I'll be glad if this is so, but so far I realized that things are bad here.

P.s.s. Apparently the problem is still different from the original one, and I should have opened new issues, but I beg your pardon, I don't have much time for this now.

I see. I think it's better to fork another lib instead of continuing to use current one. Any suggestions?

2.5.2 released and it should be what you are looking for.
