useEffect(() => {
    const { client } = createClient();

    const unsubscribe = client.subscribe(`databases.${process.env.EXPO_PUBLIC_APPWRITE_DATABASE}.tables.68a3fd390007b23f8ee7.rows.68b2f2e0001bdd8aeda6.update`,
      (response) => {
        console.log(response);
      },
    );

    return () => {
      unsubscribe();
    };
  }, []);

The above is my code, this is just a test. I have confirmed that all IDs are correct and the table has CRUD (any) permissions set. Then I updated the data in the AppWrite Cloud Dashboard, but I still didn't receive any response.

Seniors please help, I'm really at a loss as to what to do. I'm using the react-native-appwrite package and the environment is expo development build.

Please help me, I have posted many times but never received a response. I have not made any progress on the project for two weeks because of this problem.

I have encountered a new problem. I found that I must set the table permission to ANY READ so that I can receive the response of the real-time connection.

This is the package i use: "react-native-appwrite": "^0.13.0",

Summary

Realtime functionality in React Native Expo wasn't working for developers using the "react-native-appwrite" package. To fix the issue, ensure the table permission is set to "ANY READ" for real-time connection responses.

oh do we need to use the new tablesDB stuff? this is what mine looks like:

useEffect(() => {
    if (!roomId) return;

    // initial fetch
    fetchMessages();

    // subscribe for realtime updates
    const unsubscribe = client.subscribe('databases.main.collections.messages.documents', response => {
      console.log(response.payload);
      // fetch messages again if in the same room
      if (response.payload.roomId === roomId) {
        fetchMessages();
      }
    });

    return () => {
      unsubscribe();
    }
  }, [roomId]);

Realtime didn't work in react native expo.

Need support?_
