this could be due to multiple same node files in package.json

also I had an issue with masked-view-community as mentioned above

You may have two packages with the same name.

Check your package.json file doesn't have @react-native-community/masked-view and @react-native-masked-view/masked-view

If so remove @react-native-community/masked-view from your pacakge.json file with yarn remove @react-native-community/masked-view

According to the Docs

When your app and the libraries it references exceed 65,536 methods, you encounter a build error that indicates your app has reached the limit of the Android build architecture

You may try enabling multiDex to resolve this issue

In your android/app/build.gradle

defaultConfig {
    /** ... */
    multiDexEnabled true
}

Clean your build and any installed instances in your physical-device as a precaution
