Does AppWrite work in a bear React Native project?

Hello all,

I just installed react-native-appwrite into my bare React Native project and I'm seeing this issue

expo-modules-core could not be found within the project or in these directories:

I tried then installing the expo package and ran into more issues so it looks as though to use AppWrite with React Native it needs to use Expo is that right or is there perhaps a work around?

Hello Can I see your installed libraries? From the package.json?

And did you installed polyfill-url?

Hey <@1276628406288519234> I did indeed install the required dep's

Did you used npm install.... Or npx expo install.....

I used yarn 🧶

Well Not familier with yarn. Ok Lets say, why are you using bare react native? Isnt using with expo better?

There's an argument for both but My work uses bare react native so that's what I'm going with. It's fine if it needs to be with expo, I just wanted to check to see if there was a workaround

Might be a good idea to put this in the getting started docs if anyone from AppWrite is listening 👍

Yep. Although i have some extra question. Did the error came after installation of appwrite?

And can you provide the commands that used. I just want to check it myself.
And do some troubleshooting if necessary

No worries, it came after trying to build the app after running yarn add react-native-appwrite react-native-url-polyfill

Then i ran yarn add expo-modules-core to try and fix and it just creates a long chain of expo issues in the node modules with stuff being undefined

No You dont add expo modules core I think you add expo only

What do you mean sorry?

Like npm install expo Not npm install expo modules core

I wouldn't advise installing expo into a bare RN project

Thanks for help though!

Just checked and expo can't install when there is already an Android and ios folder

Even i am getting issues while using appwrite in my react native app created using react native cli, i am not using expo. i get below errors during initialization.

this is one of my side projects, i am done 50% so can't switch to expo now.
