Difficulties Implementing the 'Expo Support' Guide due to Build Failures

[danboley]

I'm trying to use the twilio-voice-react-native package in a clean Expo project following the approach outlined in the "Expo Support" guide. After modifying the package to work with Expo Modules, I’m consistently hitting a Kotlin build error related to the Task :twilio-voice-react-native-sdk:compileDebugKotlin. Error log provided below. Happy to provide any files or additional info. Thanks.

Build Error:

Hey @danboley thanks for reaching out. It appears that maybe the SDK is getting double auto-linked. Can you try to add a file to the root of the SDK react-native.config.js with the contents:

module.exports = {
  dependency: {
    platforms: {
      android: null,
    },
  },
};

Hi @mhuynh5757 I appreciate the help with this. I added the suggested file to the root of the SDK and I am still encountering the exact same build error.

[mhuynh5757]

Just to be sure, can you do a complete clean and rebuild using Android Studio? I'm curious if there's still autolinking that's happening.

[danboley]

I ran a complete clean and rebuild and I am still encountering the same build error.

Hey @danboley I'm sorry to hear that you're still encountering this issue. Let's see if we can dig into it more. Do you mind sharing a snippet of your ExpoModule.kt file? I'm curious about this Unresolved reference: Outgoing.

The reason I am slightly suspecting a double-autolinking issue is that Expo Modules autolinking (for whatever reason) imports the SDK as twilio_voice-react-native-sdk and the RN CLI imports the SDK as twilio-voice-react-native-sdk. Note the underscore in the first one between twilio and voice and the dash in the second one.

Hi @mhuynh5757 thanks for reaching back out. Good pickup on the dash vs underscore in the sdk name, I hadn't noticed that previously. Here's the link to my ExpoModule.kt file. Feel free to reference any other files you think might be relevant.

Hey @danboley sorry for the delay in getting back to you, could you try OUTGOING instead of Outgoing? It appears the enum is public at the very least: https://github.com/twilio/twilio-voice-react-native/blob/main/android/src/main/java/com/twiliovoicereactnative/CallRecordDatabase.java#L25

I see that the Expo guide that we posted incorrectly uses Outgoing, that's on me, I will fix that as soon as possible.
