Anything in an npm run script is custom, fully defined by the project. No one else will share that command - I’d always assume I need to cd ios && pod install

After you guys installed it and executed the react-native link, try to rebuild the app so it applies the native code changes, it may work.

Importing instead of requiring worked for me.

~~let DeviceInfo = require(‘react-native-device-info’);~~

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

You must detach your expo so you can link to packages that use native code. See that thread, https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/56, hope it helps ^^
