I have the following code:

<Text onPress={() => console.log('this won\'t print')}>Dumb text</Text>

According to React Native's documentation, this works great in both iOS and Android, however when I run it myself, it only works on iOS, while Android acts as if the onPress prop doesn't exist at all.

I know I can use TouchableOpacity (all other questions talk about this), but I just need confirmation on whether I am missing something or if this is how it always has been and the documentation is incomplete.

Your code seems perfectly right and works for me... Try reloading or reinstalling the app 2-3 times.. It should work

This is what I tried and worked :

<Text style={{color:'white', fontSize : 50}} onPress={() => console.log("pressed")}>Hello</Text>
