I was genuinely surprised to see this error in my React Native project. I even asked many of my seniors if they had ever encountered it, but none of them had faced this issue either.

Your Princess is in Another Castle Error in React Native

After searching extensively on the internet, I discovered that the issue was caused by a misconfiguration in the Gradle files and the version of Jettifier I had installed.

I never expected errors to be this funny😅 , but they can really surprise you!

I’m learned through this error that always check your Gradle setup and make sure the dependency versions especially like Jettifier, are compatible with your project.
