React Native - getting error when running command "react-native unlink"

Question

After upgrading past react-native 0.60.....Im being warned that I should unlink all the 3rd party libraries that were linked manually (as RN now takes care of it via auto-linking).

However when I run react-native unlink <depedency> I get the error Something went wrong while unlinking. Reason Expected [\n\r] but end of input found

Any ideas?

My guess is one of the files parsed by the unlinking tool doesn't end with an empty newline. — Muhammed B. Aydemir

Dont think its related to the library its unlinking....same thing happens with every single library that I unlink — james murphy

I know it will sound silly but, sometimes i forget to unlink before removing a package, then i have to reinstall it, manually link it or whatnot, and after that i unlink first, check if there is some changes in files that normally would have, and remove the package; — André Pinto

The Reason is, that in one of your files, the blanc-line at the end of the file is missing.

Please check following files for this empty line:

ios/[Project].xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
android/settings.gradle

You also might unlink your modules manually like this:

Open android/settings.gradle, remove the include & project Lines

After cleanup, the file should look like this:

rootProject.name = 'MyBeautifullApp'
apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
include ':app'

I hope it would help you out:

If you're removing a global package however, any applications referencing it will crash.

Here are different options:

npm uninstall removes the module from node_modules, but not package.json

npm uninstall --save also removes it from dependencies in package.json

npm uninstall --save-dev also removes it from devDependencies in package.json

npm -g uninstall --save also removes it globally
