**ERROR** Failed to apply patch for package react-native at path

[kondirams]

I have add one patch file in my project which remove the duplicate resorese in android

but when I ran the yarn install its give me this error.

Applying patches...

ERROR Failed to apply patch for package react-native at path

node_modules/react-native

This error was caused because patch-package cannot apply the following patch file:

patches/react-native+0.63.4.patch

Try removing node_modules and trying again. If that doesn't work, maybe there was an accidental change made to the patch file? Try recreating it by manually editing the appropriate files and running:

patch-package react-native

If that doesn't work, then it's a bug in patch-package, so please submit a bug report. Thanks!ERROR Failed to apply patch for package react-native at path

Has anyone figured out a way to fix this? I'm having this issue with the next package

Edit: Figured it out. This was happening for me because the diff had for some reason included some auto generated licensing information. Once I delete that from the diff (leaving only the changes I had made myself behind) it worked

I made it work by deleting the code above the modified section , like this:

# diff --git a/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Animated/release/.npmignore b/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Animated/release/.gitignore

I did remove node_modules and run "patch-package react-native" but all of them not working

[AmaarHasssan]

I don't know if anyone still looks up for this issue. My issue was the difference of resolved version in yarn.lock. I had a different package.json versions in my case, and i copied the code and it didn't work because the yarn.lock was already generated. I just copied over the old yarn file and it worked perfectly.
