Native Modules For Sensors Not Available. Did React-native Link Run Successfully?

I followed the first steps of the React Native tutorial here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html Then I want to read information from the device sens

Solution 1:

It's probably due to the fact that you are using Expo and that react-native-sensors requires the full version of React Native.

To use react-native-sensors you will probably have to eject your app and then install the dependency. If you eject your app it will require you to have Xcode (for iOS) and Android Studio (for Android) installed on your development machine.

For more details on the differences between Expo and React-Native check out this SO answer: What is the difference between Expo and React Native?

However, Expo does have access to some sensor info, you can read more about using the accelerometer here https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/accelerometer

Expo also has access to the gyroscope, the magnetometer and a pedometer, though no barometer that I can see in the docs

Solution 2:

I had a similar issue, what solved it for me was to use npx

npx react-native link react-native-sensors;

Then i cleared the app data and removed the app from my phone, and then rebuilt!
