I have the same issue (expo SDK 38). I ended up reverting to clipboard from react-native for now.
import { Clipboard } from 'react-native'updated: You can use
import * as Clipboard from 'expo-clipboard'now. I’m usgin SDK 43.I had the same problem on Android. Solved uninstalling the app and reinstalling it.
currently managed workflow for expo does not support this clipboard module. Please continue using
import {Clipboard} from 'react-native'for now until the support is added to expo.This module should work for bare workflow of expo and regular react-native via react-native-cli sorry about the inconvenience!
Same here on Expo SDK 38 + 39 and @react-native-community/clipboard: ^1.2.3
Solved it by using @foloinfo solution by using
import { Clipboard } from 'react-native'There is honestly nothing I can do about using this package on a managed workflow of expo, as managed workflow of expo has predetermined sets of native modules it can use and this package isn’t one of them.
Please use
import {Clipboard} from 'react-native'for managed workflow of expo.don’t think it’s the library issue try to clean your project(reset metro bundler cache, delete build folder) and do fresh
npm installandpod install. That worked for me!I have the same issue, I solved it this way：
import {useClipboard} from '@react-native-community/clipboard';The only issue with that method is it has been declared as deprecated even though it still works. Also, it points them here to where things are broken…
cd ios && pod install then yarn start --reset-cache then remove the app from your simulator or phone and rebuild/reinstall it
the solution is as simple as:
import Clipboard from '@react-native-community/clipboard'instead ofimport { Clipboard } from '@react-native-community/clipboard'Same issue here, using deprecated version from “react-native” temporarily solves my issue.
import { Clipboard } from "react-native"I solved it
The same problem with v1.5.1 on android and web app. I tried to use Clipboard.setString and hook realization, both have this problem.
I had the same issue with Android. Weird enough I had to do a pod install:
cd ios && pod install && cd ../after that, I ranreact-native run-androidand it worked.I’m getting the same issue on iOS 13.6, react-native 0.59 - any workaround?
Just solved the issue by restart the metro bundler. i.e. re-run
react-native start. Thank you 😃Hi, Need to release the app so cannot go with deprecated one, please fix this issue ASAP 🙏
