react-native-pdf iOS and Android build errors

Question

Tried to create build in iOS and Android. App is using react-native-pdf library. Getting build errors

Error: Unable to resolve module react-native-blob-util from /Users/runner/work/1/s/node_modules/react-native-pdf/index.js: react-native-blob-util could not be found within the project or in these directories: node_modules ../../node_modules

We tried adding react-native-blob-util to package.json. But now getting duplicate symbols build error in iOS, because of react-native-blob-util

"react-native-blob-util": "^0.13.16", "react-native-pdf": "^6.4.0"

Answer 1

i get this case too and the best way is

1. uninstall react-native-blob-util and react-native-pdf

npm uninstall react-native-blob-util
npm uninstall react-native-pdf

2. install react-native-pdf version to 6.2.0

npm install [email protected]

3. install rn-fetch-blob, or if you already have

npm i rn-fetch-blob

4. npm install
