DeviceInfo native module is not installed correctly

Question

So I tried implementing Facebook Login and followed all the steps accordingly. After having errors with FBSDKcorekit/FBSDKcorekit.h' file not found, I decided to pivot over to working on other components.

Lo' and behold, I have this error giving me trouble now. I followed along with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAXVKapP5cM&t=458s where I used the react-native install react-native-fbsdk and react-native link react-native-fbsdk commands in my terminal.

If it helps, I'm getting the following compile error in my terminal: The following build commands failed:

CompileC /Users/someUser/desiredProject/ios/build/Build/Intermediates/RCTFBSDK.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/RCTFBSDK.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/RCTFBSDKGraphRequestManager.o RCTFBSDK/core/RCTFBSDKGraphRequestManager.m normal x86_64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler

(1 failure)

I'm not sure if it was the tinkering around with the react-native-fbsdk or making links to it that caused this error. Note my project was working before I was trying to implement Facebook Login and using the link command.

What's going on here?

Thanks in advance for your time and patience.

edit: Also I did not implement any of the Facebook login code yet since I couldn't get a successful build on Xcode.

@kdizzle Make sure you have the right packager running in the terminal, sometimes you may have a packager associated with another react native project running, this happens because when you stop running an xcode RN project, it doesn't stop the packager in the terminal, and when you start/open another RN project in xcode, it simply checks if a packager is running, doesn't check if it's associated with the current project. So make sure you stop all of the packager instances in the terminal and then open the RN project again.

Answer 2

This may happen when upgrading a project to a newer version of react-native. To fix it,

1. Stop your packager.
2. Quit your iOS/android simulator.
3. Reinstall your modules: rm -rf node_modules && npm install
4. Restart your packager and simulator, e.g. react-native run-ios

Answer 3

I had this issue and it happened when I changed Hardware within the simulator. To fix it I had to kill the packager and run 'react-native run-ios' again. It didn't happen all the time but when it did this fixed it for me!

Another use is in a Brownfield App. Check your iOS and/or Android react-native versions. If they don't match exactly you will see this error screen too.

For example: I had a react native instance running 0.45.1 while Android had 0.45.0 installed. The solution for me was to make sure everything was running the same version.
