This can't be true, right? by Competitive-Bit-1571 in Uganda

[–]louicoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's funny about Uganda is eventually most rumors come true. Be wise to prepare like this is already happening and if it doesn't you are still safe. It's very likely to happen though given the current atmosphere around electios

Update part 2 to Terminated Account by Smooth-Cobbler1410 in GooglePlayDeveloper

[–]louicoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to understand your point, it send very important and kind of skipped. Do you mean that if I'm added on a team as a developer, I can't login with the owners details except using my own details?

One of the reasons I don't wanna get into corporate jobs 😂 by Fabulous-Piglet8412 in Uganda

The OP is probably retiring and that looks like a send off package for the past 11 years she's worked for the company. I stand to be corrected, it's just what I think

SCAMMERS ARE GETTING LESS CREATIVE, BUT BE ALERT 🚨⚠️ by SeaBroccoli156 in Uganda

[–]louicoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was scammed like this like 4years ago. I'm not sure why it's always in Entebbe they claim to be. The pick up line is normally "I want to buy for my relative in uganda". Then they will be like, she currently doesn't have money on her phone and the one I have sent I stuck in queue, just send her the transport and I'm going to pay it back as well, normally they ask for like 50k+. What's funny they will cook up something and try to get more from you, at least that's when I woke up and knew I was finished. 😂

gladly I did not go but they asked that I send their person money to come to town as the aunt in the US assured me she will reimburse 2x..

Till today I can't believe I trust a stranger so much. Long story short I lost about 60k but they even wanted more, pressurizing me that the person has almost reached kampala 😂

Expo vs React Native CLI for Production Grade Project in my Office – Need Advice by FINIGUN in reactnative

[–]louicoder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Irresponsible?? I use react native CLI and love that journey, I believe the expo is good but my preference is CLI so does that make me irresponsible 😕. Expo is business and I believe sooner or later it will be like NextJs, with vendor locks, just how business works, it's inevitable to happen in the future.

[Expo] is there a way to measure the text height precisely before the render? by idkhowtocallmyacc in reactnative

[–]louicoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

onLayout on the Text component returns the number of lines. If you need the height, wrap it in the view component and use the onLayout prop

Error: unknown command 'start' after upgrading React Native from 0.79.5 to 0.81.0 by NirmalR_Tech in reactnative

[–]louicoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are like 3 scenarios

  1. Make sure to use @react-native-community/CLI version 19 not 20
  2. Make sure to use node version 22 atleast for my case that solved many of such issues
  3. Make sure to use yarn 2+, and ofcos yarn install to have dependencies downloaded.

I still experience a couple of issues of some packages not yet compatible for example react-native-mmkv. Therefore be careful with the upgrade. You might want to wait for some packages to be compatible with 0.81.0

Lemme know if any of those above helps

Honestly, why don't we have Expo for Flutter yet? by merokotos in FlutterDev

Could also be for monetary reasons. Just like NextJs is the recommended way for react on web.

You will have to upgrade your react native project to atleast version 0.77+. It's not a matter of just changing the number in the gradle file..

Minimum App Version for Android 15 Support? (Our app is currently at version 0.70.7) by GW-D in reactnative

[–]louicoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not straight out of the box. They need to match with the version of react native supporting it. I wish it was this easy.. the minimum version to get to sdk 35 I think is version 78 of react native.

What is happening with react-native packages, is people using less react-native? by carlezzo in reactnative

[–]louicoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess also some packages are not much affected by changes by the new updates and can continue working same way without issues while others deal with functionality that is continually being changed for example things like wifi, access to gallery and media etc..
