I created a custom npm package for SMS verification. It's a PIN code input that automatically fills out if you receive the PIN via SMS. It works great on its own. The problem occurs when I upload the npm package to Azure Artifacts and try to use it in another project.
After configuring .npmrc
to
registry=https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/<url>/npm/registry/
always-auth=true
I start a new React Native project with npx react-native init SMSTest
and install the package with npm install
in the new project.
When I try to use the component I get an error TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNOtpVerify.getOtp')
and the app doesn't work. The error goes away if I run npm i react-native-otp-verify
.
The interesting part is that all dependencies are already present in node_modules
even before the second time I install them via npm.
Any ideas what could be the problem and how to fix it?

You can try removing entire node_modules folder, and deleting the package-lock.json file. And then run npm install again.
If deletion of node_modules and package-lock.json doesnot work. You can try explicitly adding the react-native-otp-verify
dependency to the package.json file of your project SMSTest.
You can aslo try adding "preinstall": "npm install react-native-otp-verify"
to scripts section in package.json file of your project.
