react-native-device-info: Error: While trying to resolve module `react-native-device-info` after installing v4

After installing v4, I get the following error. Anyone else get this?

I just came across with this issue and I noticed I was missing ts in my metro.config.js

module.exports = {
  resolver: {
    sourceExts: ['jsx', 'js', 'ts'],
  },
};

@ricbermo good thinking! I checked and I think you’re right - as long as you don’t override it to a specific list (which excludes .ts), the default will include it apparently https://github.com/facebook/metro/blob/master/packages/metro-config/src/defaults/defaults.js#L52

Ok, my bad, sorry everyone.

Please use npm install react-native-device-info@4.0.1-rc.1 --save instead of npm install react-native-device-info --save.

The later installs version 4.0.0 which for some reason fails with above. So far 4.0.1-rc.1 is working great for me, thanks all.

I’ll be closing this…

I have exactly the same problem. It looks for src\index.js but the package only has a TypeScript file there: src\index.ts.

So, the problem seems to be that react-native looks for .tsx files and not for .ts?
