    Thanks dan! My first approach with Native Modules. Even though I found it a bit hard - mainly the Kotlin part -, it went well. Thanks

    Hi, when i am adding a native library which is inside the project how i have to link it to the module to be able to use it?

    Wanted to know how simple it is to build a native UI and show it in a React Native app.

    Would it be possible to add android native dependencies to the expo modules? Like I don't know using a maven library along with your custom native code? Sorry if the question seems stupid, I'm just getting started into integrating native dependencies in react native projects

      In theory it should be possible. I haven’t dug into it myself though.

    Weirdly enough, got an error saying that 'babel-plugin-module-resolver' could not be found. Fixed by installing it from within the 'example' folder with npm ('npm i babel-plugin-module-resolver'). Might be specific to me, but leaving it here just in case anyone else stumbles on the same thing.

    How should AsyncFunction work in a Swift module? I have been trying to fetch Apple MusicKit data from a function but I get an unhandled promise rejection with Error: Received 0 arguments, but 1 was expected. The only parameter defined on the expo AsyncFunction is promse: Promise so not sure what is going on

    I have a doubt that's indirectly related to expo architecture, does Expo Module Internally use expo dev client for building project? Or if I decide to use expo module in existing project I have to add dev client as dependency, because I always get confused between dev client and expo pre build

    Great content! BTW, If I would like to use this new approach and don't want to publish my modules on npm (even on private npm) do I have to use monorepo approach? Because it's not possible to keep those modules alongside app code, or I'm missing something?

      Anyway, it is possible by creating a directory named modules in app root or configuring this in package json. You can search for expo-mega-demo GH repo - I did such thing there

      Thanks for subscribing 🙂. If you want to use native modules in an existing Expo app you can run prebuild as long as you are on a compatable version of Expo. I can’t remember if that starts on 47 or 48. If you run npx expo prebuild it generates the iOS and Android folders for you and allows you to have access to the Native Modules API.

    Is it possible that you can run expo run:ios and expo run:android at the same time like when you do in rn cli. If I run react-native run-ios it start server and if I run react-native run-android they share metro instance. I can’t find if this is possible in expo and it suck to build all the time to debug on different platform?

    • @DanRNLab
      @DanRNLab  Рік тому

      They will share a metro instance if you compile both. You have to wait for one to finish building before you run the other though. Also please don’t forget the -device flag. This project only works on hardware and not simulators
