√ Your bridge module was successfully created! 🎉

I am new to react-native & nodejs so pardon if I am missing something silly. It says module creation was successful, than why the error messages.?

[ramshankerji]

Checked, error happens only when we select Andorid/Java. Not happens when only iOS is selected.
Further can reproduce on windows and mac both.

@RAMUBHAI could you possibly create a reproduction repo? I tried to reproduce on RN 48.4 and 49.0 but am not seeing the error.

[ramshankerji]

I created a fresh project using react-native init and it worked fine. So there must be some issues with my specific projects. I will updated once I find out what worked.

[ramshankerji]

Ok. I tracked down the error to versioning style in root level project.json of react-native project.
Following works correctly.

"dependencies": {
"react": "16.0.0-beta.5",
"react-native": "0.49.3"
},

but following fails with an error regarding semver.

"dependencies": {
"react": "16.0.0-beta.5",
"react-native": "^0.49.3"
},

Adding any new dependency using "react-native link" seems to be prefixing the "^" symbol before version. In my case, even the react-native dependency itself had "^0.48.4".

I have put a reproduction repo at following address. Hope you can workout a fix.

Thanks for all the hard work and patience. :)

@RAMUBHAI thanks for investigating this. I’ve opened a PR to resolve this issue.

Thank you for sorting this out!!! Much appreciated. :)

[jarretmoses]

Getting this package going again. Stay tuned for some updates here.

[DanielBoening]

Today I encountered the same error. Any reasons the open PR is not merged?

[jarretmoses]

@DanielBoening I will work on having it in, in the next couple days.

Awsome! Thank you
