React Native : null is not an object (evaluating 'NativeModules["SQLite"][method]')

Question

I am trying to use the react-native-sqlite-storage library but I can't seem find any solution to this error. I have looked around for hours yet no solution seem to help me. If anyone could guild me through this, I'd really appreciate it.

Here is the screen where I am getting the error -

import { View, Text } from "react-native";
import { useEffect } from "react";
import React from "react";
import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage";
import SQLite from "react-native-sqlite-storage";

const db = SQLite.openDatabase(
  {
    name: "userProfileDB",
    location: "default",
  },
  () => {
    console.log("succ");
  },
  (error) => {
    console.log("err");
  }
);

export default function ProfileScene() {
  return (
    <View>
      <Text>ProfileScene</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

Here is the error log -

TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'NativeModules["SQLite"][method]')
