This is happening as i’m using rn-fetch-blob and react-native-blob-util how to make it work without removing rn-fetch-blob

i find a solution you can remove “react-native-blob-util” and use “rn-fetch-blob” in react-native-pdf. steps: 1-remove react-native-blob-util 2- GO to node_modules->react-native-pdf->index.js 3-in line 22 change “react-native-blob-util” with “rn-fetch-blob” 4- save it and rebuild the App.

Changing "react-native-pdf": "^6.2.2", to "react-native-pdf": "6.3.0", will fix the issue for now

The latest version 6.4.0 changed the blob package to react-native-blob-util. 6.3.0 and earlier versions use rn-fetch-blob

I’m facing the same issue, although my versions are a bit different

    "react-native-blob-util": "^0.13.17",
    "react-native": "0.65.1",
    "react-native-pdf": "6.3.0",
    "rn-fetch-blob": "^0.11.2",

I installed like below

react-native-blob-util: "^0.13.18",
react-native-pdf: "^6.4.0"

But I faced the same error 5 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
