I am trying to start using appwrite with react-native but getting This error 'Cannot read prototype of undefined' from Client. After setEndpoint I am setting project ID.

TL;DR
Issue: The user is receiving an error message stating "Cannot read prototype of undefined" when trying to use the Client in their React Native app with the Appwrite SDK. Possible Solution: It seems that the user is using the wrong SDK. They should be using the Web SDK instead of the Node SDK for a React Native app. They should switch to the Web SDK and make sure to import the Client after the import statement.

Try putting client just after the import statement

Then you should not use node, instead web SDK

I didn't understand. What do you mean by I should not use node. Node is required for react native.

There are 2 appwrite SDK:

  • Node SDK
  • Web SDK

I think you're using the first one, so use the second one for react

Issue can be reproduced by cloning this repo and in dev branch replace Project Endpoint and ID in loginUser function inside Login.tsx
