Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNSVGCircle" was not found in the UIManager - reactjs

Question

I have installed yarn add react-native-svg this library as I want to design circular progress bar on a react-native app screen. I am getting this below error and I have tried everything possible but its not getting resolved. I am also tried to manually link the library (We don't need to do that as I am using react-native >0.60. It provides auto-linking).
ERROR Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNSVGCircle" was not found in the UIManager.
The code where it's throwing exception is as below
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { Circle } from 'react-native-svg';
const CircularProgressBarTest = ({ progress }) => {
const circumference = 2 * Math.PI * 100;
const strokeDashoffset = circumference - (progress / 100) * circumference;
return (
<View>
<Circle
cx={200}
cy={200}
r={100}
stroke="#000"
strokeWidth={20}
fill="transparent"
strokeDasharray={circumference}
strokeDashoffset={strokeDashoffset}
/>
<Text>{progress}%</Text>
</View>
);
};
export default CircularProgressBarTest;

Problems with Proguard
When Proguard is enabled (which it is by default for Android release builds), it causes runtime error. To avoid this, add an exception to android/app/proguard-rules.pro:
-keep public class com.horcrux.svg.** {*;}
If you have build errors, then it might be caused by caching issues, please try:
watchman watch-del-all
rm -fr $TMPDIR/react-*
react-native start --reset-cache
Or,
rm -rf node_modules
yarn
react-native start --reset-cache
