I’m currently working on a React Native project and facing a unique issue with screen navigation. Despite setting up the navigation stack correctly, the screen transition is not working as expected. Here’s a simplified version of my code:

// App.js
import React from 'react';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import HomeScreen from './screens/HomeScreen';
import DetailsScreen from './screens/DetailsScreen';

const Stack = createStackNavigator();

export default function App() {
  return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
        <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
        <Stack.Screen name="Details" component={DetailsScreen} />
      </Stack.Navigator>
    </NavigationContainer>
  );
}
// HomeScreen.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';

export default function HomeScreen() {
  const navigation = useNavigation();

  const handleNavigate = () => {
    navigation.navigate('Details');
  };

  return (
    <View>
      <Text>Welcome to the Home Screen!</Text>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={handleNavigate}>
        <Text>Go to Details Screen</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  );
}

Despite a seemingly correct setup, pressing "Go to Details Screen" doesn’t navigate to the DetailsScreen. No error messages are displayed, and I’ve verified that the screen names match.

Can someone please provide guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve this new issue with the screen transition not working as expected in React Native navigation? Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

  1. I tested out your code and everything appears correct. Could this error be due to improper installation of required packages? I referred to the getting started page and stack navigator page. I am not sure if this could be due to the content in your Details Screen as well, but if you could share the code I can take a look. Additionally, I was running this on an expo managed project, but I am not sure if you are doing the same or if you are running on a bare react native project. These are all the considerations I can think of, cheers!

  2. Can you try using @react-navigation/native-stack instead of "@react-navigation/stack" ?

    Example:

    import {createNativeStackNavigator} from '@react-navigation/native-stack';
    
    const Stack = createNativeStackNavigator();
