Duplicate module name: ReactNative

[markgoodyear]

When install the package, packager throws up this error:

Failed to build DependencyGraph: @providesModule naming collision:
  Duplicate module name: ReactNative
  Paths: /{project path here}/node_modules/react-native-sglistview/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/Renderer/src/renderers/native/ReactNative.js 
  collides with /{project path here}/node_modules/react-native/Libraries/react-native/ReactNative.js

I'm using RN 0.36. Any ideas on how to fix the issue? Cheers!

@markgoodyear Update your react-native version to 0.41.2

[markgoodyear]

@younisshah Unfortunately I'm not able to update at the moment (due to the project). Is there anyway you could add support for lower versions? If not, I think it'd be a great idea to add in the versions supported in the readme.

I've wondered how RN modules version themselves to target different RN versions. Are there any good examples of this?

@markgoodyear will this help? rm -r node_modules/react-native-sglistview/node_modules

@yjb94 It works! Does it have anything to do with the RN 0.42 update?

[markgoodyear]

@yjb94 — I've not tried that. I've managed to have some time out to update the RN version in the project I'm working on (not tested sglistview yet as it's still in progress, big jump so lots of breaking changes to fix first), but good to hear it works from @stonecold123!

@yjb94, after updating to the latest RN version (0.42) I get:

Duplicate module name: react-native-vector-icons

Removing the node_modules manually works though.

I updated the dependency structure to avoid installing react-native under its own node_modules folder. I tested the changes in an example app and they worked for me - so I believe this problem is fixed.

Please reopen and provide repo steps if the newest version doesn't solve the problem.
