Getting up and running with GunJS and React Native
GunJS is a decentralised database built on web3 technologies. Getting started with it can be hard with React-native as you'll hit a few…
Before I start, I want to give credit to Natnael Teferi GitHub for writing up a great post on how to build a simple to-do app using GunJS and react-native.
The tutorial was written in Nov 2021, and at time of writing, the default version of react-native is now 0.69.0.
You'll hit your first issue when building the react-native-webview module in Android studio.
META-INF/kotlin-stdlib.kotlin_module: Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.7.1, expected version is 1.1.15.
Fortunately, this is an easy fix.
- Head over to your project build.gradle file (the one at android/build.gradle)
- Add a new line to your buildscript.ext section, and just under the targetSdkVersion put this line:
kotlin_version = '1.7.0' - Open the build.gradle file for react-native-webview and change any reference to
kotlinVersiontokotin_version- it will now refernce your project build.gradle version.
Problem fixed.
