[Expo] Library not working out-of-the-box

[nikatlas]

Issue

I want to use this library for a new expo managed project. The library is not working out-of-the-box. The app.plugin.js is not shipped in the released version.

Reproduce

npx create-expo-app example-app
cd example-app
rm package-lock.json 
yarn
yarn add react-native-call-detection
npx expo install expo-dev-client 
yarn run android  

app.json

{
  "expo": {
    "name": "example-app",
    "slug": "example-app",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "orientation": "portrait",
    "icon": "./assets/icon.png",
    "userInterfaceStyle": "light",
    "splash": {
      "image": "./assets/splash.png",
      "resizeMode": "contain",
      "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
    },
    "assetBundlePatterns": [
      "**/*"
    ],
    "ios": {
      "supportsTablet": true
    },
    "android": {
      "adaptiveIcon": {
        "foregroundImage": "./assets/adaptive-icon.png",
        "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
      }
    },
    "web": {
      "favicon": "./assets/favicon.png"
    },
    "plugins": [
      ["react-native-call-detection"]
    ]
  }
}

Error:

yarn run v1.22.19
$ expo start --android

As I understand this package is not available for newer Expo versions that are based on Java 11.

Cloning locally the repo and including in the app.json the plugin file

...
"plugins": [
      ["./react-native-call-detection/app.plugin.js"]
]
...

I get this error during compilation:

Hi there, I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm using Expo 49.

[utaner]

Has this project lost expo support?

[nikatlas]

@utaner It seems it does not support latest versions of expo. I do not remember but the plugin file is not shipped properly with the distribution files.

[iamMAHAM]

this is due to the fact that the version of this package on npm is 4 years old. to solve the problem, install the rest main branch directly, which is up to date. by running this command

yarn add https://github.com/priteshrnandgaonkar/react-native-call-detection.git

or if you are using npm

npm install https://github.com/priteshrnandgaonkar/react-native-call-detection.git
