Anyone have any solution?

Answer 1

lcobucci/jwt:3.4 has this problem, you can downgrade to 3.3, composer require lcobucci/jwt:3.3 can resolve it.

Or, In config\jwt.php file Change :

'jwt' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWT\Lcobucci::class,

to

'jwt' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWT\Namshi::class,

Answer 2

As said before, lcobucci/jwt:3.4 is causing this issue, which can be solved by downgrading to 3.3.*. However, if you have declared something like this:

"lcobucci/jwt": "^3.3.1",

you need to remove the ^ because v3.4 would still be downloaded. Please keep in mind, using a newer version might be better because of bugfixes and other stuff, so make sure to update the respective logic to work with a newer version of the dependecy.
