React Native: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘r.fetch.bind’) imported from null

[siddharthlatest]

On the lines of #8, we're seeing an issue with a library we are building @appbaseio/reactivesearch-native that has a dependency that uses fetch-everywhere.

Exact error:

Device: (1069:6932) Failed to install module ‘@appbaseio/reactivesearch-native’: undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘r.fetch.bind’) imported from null

Do you have any pointers on how we could resolve it?

This is an online environment where the error can be seen: https://snack.expo.io/@siddharthlatest/reactivesearch-snack

I think this is the likely root cause: https://github.com/lucasfeliciano/fetch-everywhere/blob/master/fetch-npm-browserify.js#L6

On react-native environment, L7 somehow evals to this.fetch.bind(this) which causes the error. See this snack snippet that demonstrates this - https://snack.expo.io/B1gJ6nx8G.

The solution to this is posted here. I found it after a lot of searching. I'll fix it and put in the pull request in a few. Until it's merged you can monkey patch it in your app yourself or use my fork. Although I do realize this is a very old issue.
