I'm really struggling with what seems like a very primitive error. I have installed react-native-config and when console.logging the Config object it returns {}.
The problem occurs both on android and iOS and it doesn't seem to be a linking issue because (even though RN 71.3 doesn't require manual linking) when following the steps to link manually on android I got an error saying RNCConfigPackage already linked.
This is a simplified version of my code:
import Config from 'react-native-config';
console.log(Config);
And this is what my .env file looks like:
REACT_APP_STAGE=development
TEST=ThisIsATest
ANOTHER_TEST=ThisIsAnotherTest
Debugging attempts
I have already tried:
- Running gradlew clean and pod install (even though it's not a platform specific issue)
- Run with
ENVFILE=.env react-native run-androidto hard code the env file
I understand that this is very limited information in order to debug the issue but any direction and help is appreciated including any approach you would follow to debug.
EDIT: The Config appeared in the end but is very late to update, an issue more people seem to be facing, I have used react-native-dotenv instead.
