Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-htmlview@0.16.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

So how can we add these change to this library!
I mean without changing files in node_modules!

@YogeshBhatt I created a fork with these changes, Is this alright or is it there some other better way

Hi!
I solve my problem by simple installing the 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types' library and importing the ViewPropTypes from there

-import {Linking, Platform, StyleSheet, View, ViewPropTypes} from 'react-native';
+import { Linking, Platform, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
+import { ViewPropTypes } from 'deprecated-react-native-prop-types'
