Troubleshooting the In-App Payments SDK React Native Plugin

Likely causes and solutions for common problems.

I get bundling error when running quick start example

The problem

When you run the quick start example, the app launched and started loading javascript from bundling server. This bundling error "tries to require react-native, but there are several files providing this module." is thrown.

Likely cause

The quick start example links to the local in-app payments plugin, if the local plugin has a node_modules folder nested, package resolver will look into it and cause this ambiguous resolution error.

Solution

1. Remove the nested node_modules

   cd /PATH/TO/LOCAL/react-native-in-app-payments-quickstart
   rm -rf node_modules/react-native-square-in-app-payments/node_modules/

2. Restart the bundling server and run the app again.

Card Entry UI won't close when I hot reload the app

The problem

You open your app and launch the card entry UI, then you reload the app by "cmd+R" (iOS) or "R+R" (Android), clicking "cancel" doesn't close the card entry.

Likely cause

The hot reload doesn't work well with card entry UI.

Solution

You have to kill the app and launch the app again. To prevent this from happening, please always close the card entry UI before reloading.
