I am working on an expo project and everything is working fine, but I began to get a warning message when android is building as
Warning: Invalid version react-native@0.64.2 for expo sdkVersion 43.0.0. Use react-native@0.64.3
The app is still running fine but I don't how to fix this error yet and I want to know if it won't cause an issue later.
I have tried to run npx react-native upgrade 0.64.3 but it didn't work, I got this error
info Fetching diff between v0.64.2 and v0.64.3... error Fetch request failed with status 404: 404: Not Found. error Failed to fetch diff for react-native@0.64.3. Maybe it's not released yet?
changing the version of react-native manually in the package.json and run expo install worked for me
I use the expo doctor command it allows diagnose issues with the project.
I would recommend using the expo upgrade command. It upgrades the project packages and config for the given SDK version.
More to find here.
I just faced the same issue. Basically it's telling you should use a higher version of your react-native. I solved it just by updating it to the specified version.
npx react-native upgrade 0.64.3
More info here. Cheers,
If as in my case one need a specific version of react-native, let's say older because some legacy dependencies in a particular project that for some reason can't be upgrade, then change the version in the package.json won't work.
What worked as the cli suggested is to use:
expo doctor --fix-dependencies
That installed the correct lower version of react-native
To find out actual problems run this command :
expo doctor
To solve all problems regarding package conflicts run this command:
expo doctor --fix-dependencies
Use sudo on Unix based OS if you have permission issue to run those commands.
