error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually

Question

This error came up after upgrading to React Native 0.60.

I've tried to manually unlink each manually linked dependency using react-native unlink <dependency> as suggested in the error message, but the problem still persists.

The error message is as follows:

error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:   - react-native-admob (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-admob")   - react-native-facebook-account-kit (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-facebook-account-kit")   - react-native-fbsdk (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-fbsdk")   - react-native-gesture-handler (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-gesture-handler")   - react-native-linear-gradient (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-linear-gradient")   - react-native-localization (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-localization")   - react-native-restart (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-restart")   - react-native-vector-icons (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-vector-icons")   - react-native-webview (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-webview") This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via "react-native unlink <dependency>" and it will be included in your app automatically. If a library isn't compatible with autolinking, disregard this message and notify the library maintainers.

Answer 1

I managed to make the error go away by doing as follows:

1. Create a react-native.config.js file in the root of your project.
2. Update it to something like this:

// react-native.config.js module.exports = {   dependencies: {     '<dependency>': {       platforms: {         android: null, // disable Android platform, other platforms will still autolink       },     },   }, };
