Any Fix for this??

I had the same problem; The environment is the same as our friends above.

I've been struggling with the same problem since this morning. It took me 2 hours and I still couldn't find a solution.

[Ashik55]

Currently I am using "@react-native-clipboard/clipboard": "^1.13.2", as community/clipboard has problem with android.

[tomamatics]

@react-native-community/clipboard has been renamed to @react-native-clipboard/clipboard, what means that @react-native-community/clipboard is outdated (last release 3 years ago) and seems not to be compatible with latest react-native anymore.

I had the same problem; The environment is the same as our friends above. My problem is solved. According to the reply from the friend below and the error message I reported, I replaced the Android SDK. The error message finally mentioned that the corresponding version of Android build tools could not be found. Here, I could not find Android build tools 34 and 33. So, I went and reinstalled both versions of the tool and was able to use @react-native clipboard/clipboard as normal. My react and React-native versions are as follows: react: "18.2.0", react-native: "0.73.2"

My friends, i did some tests.

Maybe the problem is related to the jdk and sdk versions that is used.

as mentioned here: Setting up the development environment

you should have this:

• Node >= 18
• JDK 17
• SDK 33 (at least)

Using this in my environment solved the problem for the last version (1.13.2)

I had the same problem after upgrading RN. I changed path of @react-native-community/clipboard in package.json with react-native-clipboard/clipboard and it worked for me

"@react-native-community/clipboard": "https://github.com/react-native-clipboard/clipboard.git"

[ManojJyaniMudulesSeventeen]

"@react-native-clipboard/clipboard": "^1.13.2", you need this package instead of this "@react-native-community/clipboard": this thing work for me

[FouadMagdy01]

this package is outdated now the last RN version that was working with this package was 0.72.3 you can use the new renamed package as mentioned above

but if you want a solution for the problem you have you can do the following go to node_modules/@react-native-community/clipboard/android/src/main/java/com/reactnativecommunity/clipboard/ClipboardModule.java

and replace this file content with this code

@FouadMagdy01 Even if we made changes to node_modules we can't push that change to a git repo. So if other team members try to pull my latest changes they again can have the same issue. So how can we handle this?

Use the patch-package package to share the changes with your team.

I know that and in most cases it is not the best solution to fix bugs in node modules

But there are some workarounds as @kimjisena mentioned below

This worked for me!
