Unable to install dependency

[K-sivasankar]

Hi , I created New react native app with following steps, I installed all pre request like npm, forcereact and etc.
Step1 . Created project with 'forcereact create' and completed the all dependency installation and run the app in ios and android, After that , I try to add any library like npm install 'library name'. I am facing the error

npm error code 1
npm error git dep preparation failed
npm error command /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js install --force --cache=/Users/sivasankark/.npm --prefer-offline=false --prefer-online=false --offline=false --no-progress --no-save --no-audit --include=dev --include=peer --include=optional --no-package-lock-only --no-dry-run

npm error error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'react-native'.
npm error The file is in the program because:
npm error Entry point of type library 'react-native' specified in compilerOptions
npm error npm warn using --force Recommended protections disabled.

Note: I am installed force react v12.2.0 and Setup salesforce sdk v12.2.0 and react native force V12.2.0

I tried with adding "@types/react-native": "0.73.0", in my package.json. But it is not worked, Any one have solution for this?

@K-sivasankar something is off.
forcereact 12.2 should bring in [email protected] (13.0 has not been released yet).
Also MSDK 12.2 uses React Native 0.74.5.

Could you run forcereact version from the command line to see what it returns?

Hi @wmathurin , Yes, I tried with new project setup again , now It is showing same error for [email protected]. Also my current forcereact version is 12.2.0.

Note: I Referred #376. But it is not works.
i know @types/react-native is deprecated and in react version 0.73 above has default behaviour for this. If i downgrade every thing to 11.0.0 I can Install all dependency, But I want to use latest salesforce sdk version 12.2.0 in my project.
Also I tried the trick, I just update sdk version from my 11.0.0 project by using 'node installios.js' after editing my sdk version in package.json. But I am facing some other errors, to fix this again i want to update React native version form 0.70.0, to 0.74.5. Again same issue is coming.

@K-sivasankar I had the same issue, not sure about whats causing this, but I managed to make the setup work by forking the project and adding the types definition to package.json.

You can test it out, by using my fork of SDK repo here; https://github.com/sidhu18/SalesforceMobileSDK-ReactNative/tree/master

Usage:
"react-native-force": "git+https://github.com/sidhu18/SalesforceMobileSDK-ReactNative.git#v12.2.0",

Okay @sidhu18 Let me try it out.

Edited: I installed dependency library then i run pod install for ios. I am receiving following error, seems like there is issue in Ruby. Do you have any idea to resolve it, i tried some solution from search, nothing work.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require': dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/strscan-3.1.0/lib/strscan.bundle, 0x0009): tried: '/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/strscan-3.1.0/lib/strscan.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/strscan-3.1.0/lib/strscan.bundle' (no such file), '/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0/gems/strscan-3.1.0/lib/strscan.bundle' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64')) - /Library/Ruby/

If you are using M-chip based macs, then this could be fixed by adding arm64 to the EXCLUDED_ARCHITECTURE in Pods.
