Expo RNFusedLocation.getCurrentPosition is null error

[KatancicDenisz]

Can I use this package with expo? I tried it and I got an error saying null is not an object (evaluating RNFusedLocation.getCurrentPosition)

Not sure, I didn't try expo yet. I'll check their documentation to see if they support integrating native modules.

Okay, thank you.

Any luck? :)

Not able to try it out right now. But as far as I understand, you can't use native dependencies if you're on Managed Workflow. It should work fine in Bare Workflow.

@Agontuk,

It's been a year, and I'm wondering if things have changed.

I'm currently getting the error indicated by the OP, but looking at Expo's docs, it does look like the managed workflow intends to support getCurrentPosition and other location functionality with the proper app.json config.

I'll also follow up on the Expo side to see I can dig anything up there. Would love some help or indication from this side, too, if possible. New at React Native and could use all the help I can get!

I'm pretty sure expo does not support third party native libraries. You can check here https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/using-libraries/#determining-third-party-library-compatibility

You need to eject your expo project to install libraries with native code

Closing this, since it's not possible to add native dependencies in Expo's Managed Workflow.
