@React-native-community/react-native-device-info: NativeModule.RNDeviceInfo is null. To fix this issue these steps: *Run 'react-native link

I just created the app with "react-native init NameProject" and had a Base directory that I use constantly, so when I inserted it, I installed the dependencies and link, it happens to me ... I already deleted the "node_modules" directory, reinstalled, re -linked and nothing seems to solve the problem ...

When I experimented with react-native-device-info I discovered that it only works if you're running it on react-native. If you're running it from expo it will give you an error (RNDeviceInfo is null).

My App didn't work because I created using expo init project-name This will always say that it is not linked with react-native-device-info.

Make sure that the project is installed using react-native.

$ npm i -g create-react-native-app
$ create-react-native-app my-project
$ cd my-project

Then run it on react-native using

npm start

from https://reactnative.dev/blog/2017/03/13/introducing-create-react-native-app

Alternative for react-native-device-info => expo-device (https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/device/#devicebrand)

Make sure dependency is linked & rebuild your app after adding the dependency.

Don't forget to run pod install on the iOS folder path.

Isn't available for expo anymore, see this post.

You should be able to replace most common properties with expo-constants and expo-device instead.

Try running the command

react-native link react-native-device-info

or

cd ios && pod install && cd ..

Then try running your project again using whichever command you used to start your application react-native run-android or react-native run-ios or directly run the app from XCode.

Because starting react-native 0.60.0 or newer, most but NOT all libraries can auto-link their native modules without running react-native link package_name. And from what I've tried myself, since react-native-device-info isn't very actively updating themselves, because there isn't much reason to, they doesn't support the auto-link thing (turns out they do, but maybe on some project it doesn't work as well? at least it doesn't on mine, and I need to link it manually).

Actually, the error message itself is already quite descriptive on how to fix your problem if you actually try reading it carefully.
