React Native v0.44 DeviceInfo native module is not installed correctly

[stefensuhat]

Description

At first I run create new project using expo And then at package.json I change the react-native version to v0.44.

When run using expo (send to device) I receive DeviceInfo native module is not installed correctly.

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "Hello Expo!",
  "author": null,
  "private": true,
  "main": "main.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.16.1",
    "expo": "16.0.0",
    "react": "16.0.0-alpha.6",
    "react-native": "0.44.0",
    "react-native-elements": "^0.11.2"
  }
}

Why I changed my react-native version to 0.44 because at expo sdk (v0.43) I got error while updating property selectioncolor of view managed by androidtextinput error. #13465

Additional Information

• React Native version: v0.44
• Platform: Android
• Development Operating System: [FILL THIS OUT: Windows 10
• Dev tools: VSCode, Expo XDE

Expo SDK v16 doesn't support react-native 0.44, maybe they will support in next release (SDK v17). Change react-native to 0.44 will don't help.

Somehow, my side, the issue is fixed by reset the simulator device

@stefensuhat Just recompile your project, and it will solve ;)
You're can be using a new RN code with an outdated binary.
This happened to me in both platforms when I've upgraded

[stefensuhat]

@giautm yeah. I can't wait because of the input text bug

@rodriguesbreno @hellomaya I've tried compile it few times keep getting those error

[dededada]

i think what @rodriguesbreno mean it, recompile the native app. If you using expo then you need to detach it and run react-native-upgrade . After that you need to recompile the android/ios folder.

@dededada @stefensuhat Exactly!
I mean recompile the native app.

This usually happens when you have multiple packagers running, or are running the packager for a different application.

Hi, i reproduced all these steps and still face the issue.

I've solved as a temporary. Not sure which step worked.

"dependencies": {
    "react": "16.0.0-alpha.6",
    "react-native": "0.43.0"
  }

I did that aswell but now i'm getting undefined is not an object (evaluating '_reactNative.ViewPropTypes.style') as if the upgrade/downgrade messed with my modules.
I tryed to delete node_modules and run npm i but no luck.

Same issue, but i can fix it now, you can create new fresh project with Expo v0.17 then copy existing project to override it, this will fixed expo upgrade issue on this version.

I fixed using the fork from Expo's repository of the React Native NPM module: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-17.0.0.tar.gz .

In package.json just do this:

...
"react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-17.0.0.tar.gz",
...

Of course npm install is needed

I've deleted the entirely folder node_modules just in case and then npm i

@krosti there is any PR /fix for react-native#master?

@krosti trying sdk-17.0.0.tar.gz shows error below.

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RCTAsyncStorage.multiMerge')
