Building an iOS app gives me the following error -

Any pointers on how to fix this?

This package is not support on React native version 0.62.2

Hey,

We have created a new repo that we are maintaining with hooks and cross platform capabilites. Check it out here: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-google-nearby-messages

Hey Butch, first need to say amazing library!

I have a question regarding the ability to call Nearby.saveFile(serviceId,endpointId,payloadId) after an initial permission failure. Currently, as long as a user has granted permissions to READ/WRITE external storage, calling Nearby.saveFile() has the promise resolve successfully. If permissions are not granted or are revoked before calling saveFile, one encounters a promise rejection. Until here things are still behaving as expected.

However, in my case I am trying to offer the user the ability to retry executing saveFile() at a later point by storing the serviceId, endpointId, and payloadId before initially calling saveFile. This way, once saveFile() is called and it fails, the user can be prompted to grant permissions within their settings or elsewhere and try calling it again. The problem is that when I allow the user to retry using the same serviceId, endpointId, and payloadId which previously failed due to permissions not being granted, the promise still rejects.

When I adb logcat I see it is failing with the message 03-24 14:31:03.806 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: Cannot convert to file., which is line #1501 here

In other words it seems that
File payloadFile = payload.asFile().asJavaFile(); is null. I decided to log every payload variable until permissionsCheck fires and this is the below output:

03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: saveFile from service com.google.myApp.v1 and endpoint hT4- and payload -6821529802993021226
03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: Payload com.google.android.gms.nearby.connection.Payload@16edba2
03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: payload.getType() 2
03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: payloadFileData  awesomePhoto.WEBP:{"description":"a flower"}
03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: payloadFilename awesomePhoto.WEBP
03-24 14:31:03.805 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: payloadMetadata {"description":"a flower"}
03-24 14:31:03.806 24644 26856 V NearbyConnection: Cannot convert to file.

Question/s: Any idea why payload.asFile().asJavaFile() returns null when retrying saveFile? Is it that the initial permissions failure causes the payload content to somehow be destroyed within the NearbyConnection cache so there is nothing to call payload.asFile().asJavaFile() on? Although I find it strange that calling payload.getType() works and other metadata still exists on the payload but asFile() fails. Any thoughts here would be amazing.

Assumption/Hypothesis: After the final payload is delivered, Nearby Connections attempts to write the file which, if the permissions are not given, fails. Therefore, regardless if permissions are then granted after, that final payload will still not have a file associated and, as such, will forever fail. If this is correct then there is no other option than to resend the file I'm guessing.

Wanted to check if the package is still being supported and worked on?

Hi, butchmarshall

I tried to run your example into more recent google nearby. I spent a couple of days to tackle this and updated most of the Gradle and SDK versions to the most recent versions and it is building the app successfully except for this runtime error. I am using "react-native": "0.61.5".

renderApplication.js (this file is part of React-Native and hasn't been modified in any way)

index.js

class NearbyConnection {
	// Get all the endpoints
	static endpoints() {
		return NativeModules.NearbyConnection.endpoints();  // <- issue is here
	}

App.js

componentWillMount() {
   Nearby.endpoints().then(endpoints => {
     console.log('endpoints', endpoints);
   });
 }

Could you please take a quick look and point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Is this wrapper for Android only?
