Linking fails: Windows

[katerlol]

When i try to install openPGP in a regular CMD i get an error, so I had to switch to git bash on windows to install it. After that the npm install was successful.

Now i am trying to link the package with calling react-native link react-native-fast-openpgp but i get an error on every terminal (Powershell/Webstorm IDE/Git Bash/CMD) no matter if it's called as administrator or not, which says:

warn Calling react-native link [packageName] is deprecated in favor of autolinking. It will be removed in the next major release.

Hi and thank you for the quick fix. It seems to work like a charm now after the upgrade.

However It still doesn't work how i suppose it should work. I've had this exact error before creating this issue aswell, but thought it might be solved after the linking is done without errors.

I am currently using expo version 4.4.3, react 16.13.1 and react-native: https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-41.0.0.tar.gz and testing it on an iPhone with the Expo Go App.

My code looks something like this:

import OpenPGP from "react-native-fast-openpgp";

_generateKeys = async () => {
        const generated = await OpenPGP.generate({
            cipher: 'aes256',
        }).catch(e => console.log(e));
        console.log(generated);
    };

@klinger2709 this library is not compatible with Expo Go App, so if you want to use it, you need to eject expo before
https://docs.expo.io/bare/customizing/

With the ejection it works perfectly. I just had to wrap my head around it! Thank you again for the fast responses!!
