i tried creating react-native.config.js but it does work

Answer 1

it was react-native.config.js all along ... i was not defining package correctly .

module.exports = {
  dependencies: {
    'ffmpeg-kit-react-native': {
      platforms: {
        android: null,
      },
    },
  },
};

Answer 2

Add this in your <your project>/react-native.config

module.exports = {
  ...
  dependencies: {
    'ffmpeg-kit-react-native': {
      platforms: {
        android: null,
      },
    },
  },
};
