react_native_video/RCTVideoManager.swift:7: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value

I solved the issue by following these steps:

navigate to: node_modules/react-native-video/ios/Video/RCTVideoManager.swift

Replace this portion of code:

override func view() -> UIView { return RCTVideo(eventDispatcher: (RCTBridge.current().eventDispatcher() as! RCTEventDispatcher)) }

with this:

override func view() -> UIView { return RCTVideo(eventDispatcher: nil) }

After replacing clear all issues and clean build folder in xcode (run the code again crash & error will disappear).

after running successfully hit this cmd (npx patch-package react-native-video) it will create the patch file and error will be removed forever
