native module rnc_asyncsqlitedbstorage tried to override asyncstorage module

What does "native module rnc_asyncsqlitedbstorage tried to override asyncstorage module" mean?#

As a developer, you may encounter this error message when working with React Native:

Error: Native module RNC_AsyncSQLiteDBStorage tried to override AsyncStorage module. If this was your intention, set canOverrideExistingModule=true. This error can also be caused by a conflicting plugin or a build system issue. For more information, see https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-setup#what-is-going-on-here

This error message indicates that there is a conflict between two native modules in your React Native app: RNC_AsyncSQLiteDBStorage and AsyncStorage. The former is trying to override the latter, which is not allowed by default.

Why does this error occur?#

The most common cause of this error is that you are using two React Native libraries that have conflicting dependencies. For example, Library A may require version 1.x of AsyncStorage, while Library B requires version 2.x of AsyncStorage. When both libraries are installed in your app, the conflict arises.

Another possible cause of this error is that there is an issue with your build system. For example, if you are using a library that requires a specific version of a native module, but your build system is linking to a different version, you may encounter this error.

How can you fix this error?#

The React Native documentation provides several possible solutions for this error:

• If you intentionally want to override AsyncStorage, set the canOverrideExistingModule flag to true.
• If you are using third-party libraries, make sure they are compatible with each other and with the version of React Native you are using.
• If you are using a library that requires a specific version of a native module, make sure your build system is linking to the correct version.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to dig deeper into the code and dependencies of your app to find the root cause of the conflict. This may require debugging and troubleshooting skills, as well as knowledge of React Native's native modules and build system.
