Troubleshooting Installation

Common Issues

Issue: “Module not found” error after SDK installation

Solution:

# Clear npm cache and reinstall
npm cache clean --force
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

# Reinstall React Native SDK:
npm install ./govotr-vote-react-native-1.0.0.tgz --legacy-peer-deps

Issue: Peer dependency warnings

Solution:

The --legacy-peer-deps flag is required for this package. This is normal and expected.

Issue: TypeScript errors

Solution:

If you’re using TypeScript, you may need to add type declarations. The SDK includes its own TypeScript definitions.

Next Steps

Once the SDK is installed successfully, you can proceed to:

  1. Set up OAuth authentication
  2. Generate voting URLs
