undefined is not object (evaluating 'RNDeviceInfo.deviceId') #52

jurajkrivda · 2016-06-14T00:11:29Z

var DeviceInfo = require('react-native-device-info');
console.log(DeviceInfo.getDeviceId());

Android 5.1

heyalexchoi · 2016-06-14T19:34:39Z

having a similar issue. in my case DeviceInfo seems to not be importing properly.

spukhov · 2016-07-10T10:04:58Z

The same story. Android 6.0.

mehcode · 2016-07-10T16:07:14Z

That error happens when the java module is not being loaded somehow.

Make sure that you've done ALL of https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info#installation-android.

After doing the above, do a "Clean" then "Run".

alma-socar · 2016-07-21T05:00:22Z

Same issue here for iOS

2016-07-21 13:57:23.197 [error][tid:com.facebook.react.JavaScript] undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNDeviceInfo.uniqueId')

I installed it via rnpm

heyalexchoi · 2016-07-21T14:52:17Z

I fixed my issue by relinking the native dependency. It was improperly linked (or its linking wasn't properly checked into .pbxproj) so I suppose it was undefined at runtime.

Although on closer look, it seems my issue is not what is reported here.

manupytwn · 2016-07-26T18:33:14Z

"react": "15.2.1",
"react-native": "^0.29.2",
"react-native-contacts": "0.2.8",
"react-native-device-info": "^0.9.3"

I've got this error after install the module and use it in my code, when I try to configure "react-native-device-info" from "pod install". A version of React (0.11.0) is installed and duplicate symbols:

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

If I try to configure manually I've got this error:

krishbhattacharyya · 2016-08-17T07:22:19Z

Hi,
The same problem arise to me. Is there any solution?

manupytwn · 2016-08-25T07:15:42Z

My solution was to downgrade react and react-native:

"react": "0.14.8",
"react-native": "0.25.1",
"react-native-contacts": "0.2.8",
"react-native-device-info": "^0.9.3"

Good luck!

krishbhattacharyya · 2016-08-25T18:09:45Z

Thanks @manupytwn I will try it very soon. ( I am facing another problem also I have added the "react-native-device-info" in packages but not used for the above error, In my simulator the build is working fine but if someone clone the project & wants to run the project in simulator it caused error but if I uninstall the "react-native-device-info" package and remove the added portion "MainActivity.java & AndroidManifest.xml" it works fine. Is there any reason for that? Do you have any idea? )

page-fault-in-nonpaged-area · 2016-09-16T16:44:22Z

Exactly the same problem. Ran it last night it was okay. This morning this error magically appeared.

goodhyun · 2016-10-08T17:53:53Z

First I got this error on the red screen, but after I rebuilt all again, my android app started to force-close. to make matters worse...

afilp · 2016-10-11T12:19:46Z

Hi, I get the same error on Android, when running "react-native run-android" on a device:

MainApplication.java:41: error: cannot find symbol
new RNDeviceInfo(),

Is there any solution imminent? We cannot release without this unfortunately (because it works on iOS but not on Android...)

aamir-munir · 2016-10-14T16:50:44Z

Anyone found a solution? I am getting the same error on Android and I have to upload the application ASAP.

jorge8989 · 2016-10-18T01:07:38Z

I had the same issue after installing the module with npm. It seems like the problem was that i didn't link the module https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/#automatically-link . I solved the problem running react-native link react-native-device-info . I'm running my app on an actual device using react-native run-android

breadadams · 2016-10-19T16:03:37Z

As @jorge8989 said, after running react-native link react-native-device-info error's gone. However you have to restart the app after running this, quit the simulator and then run react-native run-ios again.

aamir-munir · 2016-10-19T20:37:39Z

@breadadams I did that but still getting the same error I am using RN 0.34 and it run perfectly fine on iOS only android have this issue.

breadadams · 2016-10-20T22:00:15Z

Hmm, that's weird @itcurves. I'd only tested on iOS so far, but just ran on android (simulator) & working fine there too. Maybe it's an incompatibility? The app I'm testing on is pretty barebones at the mo' - just default react-native components & some firebase connections.

aamir-munir · 2016-10-22T05:51:41Z

Yes @breadadams it is. Look at this I just try to link again:

rnpm-install info Android module react-native-device-info is already linked
rnpm-install info iOS module react-native-device-info is already linked

but still same error:

LironHazan · 2016-11-05T10:43:26Z

Had the same issue (runnig on ios real device) and re-linking solved that for me, why "relinking"? cause apparently my first trying to link it manually effected so I ran: react-native unlink react-native-device-info and afterwards react-native link react-native-device-info

xiaoleiooo · 2016-12-06T09:41:59Z

I had the same problem.The solve way I use is：
Open your Xcode or AndroidStudio，then clean and build your project，last run app.

salujaharkirat · 2017-01-12T10:16:53Z

After Linking I got this:-

relay-react-native-app aragorn$ react-native link react-native-device-info
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-device-info android dependency
rnpm-install info Android module react-native-device-info has been successfully linked
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-device-info ios dependency
rnpm-install info iOS module react-native-device-info has been successfully linked

But still error was coming. So I cleaned the project and build it again. Works perfectly after that

ThunderDev1 · 2017-03-04T17:37:37Z

I have a similar error on android 4.4 device (works ok in emulator):

undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNDeviceInfo.deviceLocale')

Have double checked https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info#installation-android

Have run ./gradlew clean

When I run react-native link react-native-device-info is says module is already linked

Any ideas ?

holgersindbaek · 2017-03-20T19:47:15Z

I've got the same issue. @ThunderDev1 solution didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?

holgersindbaek · 2017-03-21T20:24:47Z

I've tried all the suggestions above and I'm still getting the same error. Does everyone still have this issue after it was first reported almost a year ago? Nobody found the cause of the bug?

kmakihara · 2017-04-05T02:41:02Z

Developing in Expo and none of the previous solutions have helped. Any suggestions?

encorex · 2017-04-05T14:33:22Z

Same problems here also with Expo....

GantMan · 2017-04-05T14:35:21Z

did you eject from Expo? So you have an ios/android project?

adamnator92 · 2017-04-20T07:20:21Z

make sure your android file MainApplication.java, have RNDeviceInfo()

+import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo;

...
 @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
+         new RNDeviceInfo(),
          new MainReactPackage()
      );
    }

Lawrence23 · 2017-07-27T10:08:28Z

I am using Expo and none of the above solutions worked for me. I am using Expo to create a standalone iOS app

ts-ign0re · 2017-07-27T10:28:10Z

@Lawrence23 try

$ react-native link react-native-device-info

Lawrence23 · 2017-07-28T14:02:20Z

@tronin Tried that. Didn't work

jiteshwadia · 2017-08-03T06:11:47Z

react-native link OR react-native link react-native-device-info.
@Lawrence23
After that close any previously running react packager. Don't just simply reload the app.

Now run it. This fixed in my case.

bencodezen · 2017-08-15T20:25:15Z

@jiteshwadia Are you using Expo? It seems like that may be the issue. I'm not able to link it using Expo either.

jiteshwadia · 2017-08-16T09:05:42Z

@bencodezen , No, I am not using Expo

bencodezen · 2017-08-16T12:10:45Z

@kmakihara @Lawrence23 @encorex

For Expo users, it seems like this library isn't compatible as far as I can tell. The workaround for this is to use Expo Constants https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/constants.html. Hope this helps future Expo users trying to use this library!

betoharres · 2017-09-13T00:52:39Z

Same here, I just createad a fresh new project and then tried to use it on iOS emulator and failed with this message..

Is this a particular OS problem or is something with the library?

betoharres · 2017-09-13T01:01:15Z

I got it working after linking it again(for some reason you need to do 2x, react-native link react-native-device-info && react-native link) and shut down any open process and build everything again.

davebro · 2017-10-08T16:29:02Z

For those facing this on iOS, the complete steps for me were to:

Shut down packager
Uninstall app from simulator
Shut down simulator
Run react-native unlink react-native-device-info
Run react-native link react-native-device-info
Open project in Xcode, clean and build
Start packager react-native-start
Start the simulator react-native run-ios --simulator "iPhone 8 Plus" or whichever simulator you use

It then worked no problem. Really not sure what the actual issue was, my guess is that the package was not properly linked. (I always use react-native link)

erwan-lcs · 2017-10-17T10:53:48Z

Thanks @bencodezen for the workaround, my code snippet for those trying to use react-native-device-info with Expo

    var deviceSerial =0;
    try {
        if(Expo.Constants.appOwnership == 'expo')
        {
            console.log('Running in expo');
            deviceSerial = Expo.Constants.deviceId;
        }
        else
        {
            var DeviceInfo = require('react-native-device-info');
            deviceSerial = DeviceInfo.getUniqueID();
        }
         console.log('DEVICE ID FOUND: '+deviceSerial);
    }
    catch(e)
    {
        console.log('error reading device ID');
        deviceSerial =1;
    }

chiragpurohit71085 · 2017-10-28T18:58:49Z

In my case

libRNDeviceInfo.a
was missing in Link Library With Binary (Build phases)

dann1609 · 2018-02-07T04:16:39Z

In my case I import node_modules/react-native-device-info/RNDeviceInfo.xcodeproj to libraries inside Xcode project. then link libRNDeviceinfo.a to build phases then build project from Xcode.

machour · 2018-02-14T14:04:58Z

Closing this old issue which became a melting pot of ios/android build issues..
If anyone still face this problem, please submit a new issue.

sterswift · 2018-05-16T07:08:35Z

@bencodezen Saved me, thank you very much!

bakedbird · 2018-07-13T10:10:44Z

For anyone still having this issue even after following the manual linking steps.

Go to MainApplication.java
Delete new RNDeviceInfo() from getPackages()
Add RNDeviceInfo() inside createAdditionalReactPackages()

In case you don't have createAdditionalReactPackages() in your MainApplication.java, here is the code:

public class MainApplication extends NavigationApplication {
    ...
    @Override
    public List<ReactPackage> createAdditionalReactPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
                // eg. new VectorIconsPackage()
                new RNDeviceInfo()
        );
    }
    ....
}

TheAznShumai · 2018-07-30T23:56:01Z

Commenting on @bakedbird fix. I had the problem where the Main Application never created a new instance for RNDdeviceInfo().

I fixed it by adding it in RNDeviceInfo into the following code in MainActivity. Please note I changed my java file to use kotlin and dont forget to import com.learnium.RNDeviceInfo.RNDeviceInfo

override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> {
            return Arrays.asList(
                    MainReactPackage(),
                    FastImageViewPackage(),
                    PlayerPackage(),
                    RNDeviceInfo(),
                    RNI18nPackage()
            )
        }

yusuf987 · 2019-01-26T06:59:15Z

thanks chiragpurohit71085 your solution worked for me

mikehardy · 2019-03-15T14:46:47Z

This issue is popular, but it is always an installation/configuration issue. There is a clean example in the repository built following the instructions and working well. If you can reproduce your problem in the example, open a new issue. If not, then study the example again to see how to integrate things and make sure you followed the instructions...

CoryWritesCode · 2019-09-24T16:18:26Z

If anyone is still having issues with this I found that I had this issue when upgrading from v2.2.2 to v3.1.4 and noticed the function name change in this beta version from getDeviceID to getDeviceId. Changing this, and rebuilding worked for me.

mikehardy · 2019-09-24T21:22:44Z

@CoryWritesCode if you haven't seen https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/wiki/V2-to-V3-Migration-Guide you should check it out - there were quite a few moves, but all documented with the from what -> to what

digitaluniverse · 2019-09-25T02:31:28Z

@CoryWritesCode I would have never noticed this thank you

mikehardy · 2019-09-25T02:35:33Z

@digitaluniverse most of the API name changes are similarly subtle re-capitalizations - please look at the inventory on the v2->v3 page, I would hate for anyone else to waste any more time than needed

CoryWritesCode · 2019-09-25T12:53:37Z

@mikehardy Thanks for the link! I had not seen that at all. Might be good to have that linked on the README.

mikehardy · 2019-09-25T14:27:03Z

@CoryWritesCode oh dang - I thought I did? It is definitely in the changelog, but you're right. The more linkage the better - the v3 release is breaking but it is not supposed to suck as an upgrade :-)
