this is my source Code:

import React from "react";
import Constants from "expo-constants";
import { StyleSheet, SafeAreaView, View } from "react-native";

function Screen({ children, style }) {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView style={[styles.screen, style]}>
      <View style={style}>{children}</View>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  screen: {
    paddingTop: Constants.statusBarHeight,
    flex: 1,
  },
});

export default Screen;

it seems like Vs code is not able to import Constants.

Answer 1

seems like u have imported the expo constants and installed it in the correct manner try the following trick if it works declare variable const barHeight = Constants.statusBarHeight; and use in ur style property

Answer 2

Import expo-constants:

import * as Constants from 'expo-constants'

Then style with the following:

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
screen: {
paddingTop: Constants.default.statusBarHeight,
flex: 1,
 },
});
