Description

HI folks,

I just upgraded my example app as per the link.
Gradle build worked fine but when the build gets launched in the emulator it fails with the below error.

error: Error: Unable to resolve module @deliverysolutions/react-native-proximity-sdk from /Users/rajivkulkarni/Desktop/proximity-apps/new_proximity_rn_sdk/proximity-sdk-react-native/example/src/App.js: @deliverysolutions/react-native-proximity-sdk could not be found within the project or in these directories:

For some reason, I am not able to figure out why suddenly the linking is failing.

Things i tried

• I read this official article link, and got to know that bable.config.js, metro.config.js and react-native.config.js are the key in resolving the dependency
• Also, i tried reverting changes for these three files but no luck

Can anyone please help me understand where am going wrong.

Packages

• create-react-native-library
• react-native-builder-bob

Selected options

No options. Just ran npm prepack = bob build

Link to repro

Its not public

Hey, this looks more like a discussion since you've modified the generated library a lot and cannot provide a repro. Closing this in favor of #590.
