My splash screen won't move on to the next screen on react native

Question

I am new at react native and I am trying to create an iOS app. My splash screen works fine and loads the initial App.js screen when creating project fine. However, when I change the return to my own .js file, it fails to build and is stuck on splash screen. Please give me some tips, I followed many tutorials.

App.js

// App.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import SplashScreen from 'react-native-splash-screen';

import GetStarted from './authentication/GetStarted'
import { createStackNavigator, createAppContainer } from 'react-navigation'

const AuthNav = createAppContainer(
  createStackNavigator({
    GetStarted: { screen: GetStarted },
  })
);

type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {

  componentDidMount() {
    SplashScreen.hide()
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <AuthNav />
    );
  }
}

GetStarted.js

//GetStarted.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  View,
  Text,
  StyleSheet,
} from 'react-native';

export default class GetStarted extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text>Lets get started</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItem: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: 'blue'
  }
});

package.json

{
"name": "TestApp",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
    "test": "jest"

You are using "react-navigation": "^3.3.0" and trying to import StackNavigator. In v2+ they renamed StackNavigator to createStackNavigator. Looks like the tutorial you used is using v1. So, you can either change the version you are using to "react-navigation": "^1.5.2" or stay and use createStackNavigator. If you choose to stick with the version you are on (v2+), read another one of my responses to this same issue here; it will explain further.
