React-Native error "RN Sketch not found in the UIManager" - ios

I'm trying to build a react-native sketch project and I believe I've installed all the required libraries for it to work on my machine, but for some reason I keep on getting this error, which I'm not sure how to resolve.
Also, I wasn't sure what it meant by the linking of the react native to react native sketch, when installing the react-native sketch.
react-native link react-native-sketch

Maybe sharing your code will help debug the issue. But if the code is right then see below for installation.
So when installing this package, it is not enough to just install it. You must link to React Native. So do;
npm i -S react-native-sketch
That will install it. Now to make React Native 'aware' of this newly installed package, link it as follows;
react-native link react-native-sketch
This is just putting it in simple terms for understanding.
You should get a success message for both of the above - if an error occurs while running any of the above command lines, then it did not succeed and you'll get the error above.
If developing on IOS, don't forget to pod install and re run the project after installing the package!
CD to IOS directory - type 'pod install' and ENTER. Re Run the project.

Keep getting font family undefined with react native - links vector icons - build tells me to unlink

I've installed galio framework, but I also have react native vector icons installed.
I'm doing react native by itself (not expo). And occassionally, more often I'm getting undefined font family, whether it be Feather or Font Awesome.
I've searched on the internet, and people say do react-native link react-native-vector-icons so I do that, fixes the problem temporarily, and then it happens again. I run the link again, and fixes again, then happens over and over.
Then when I close the simulator, and run npx react-native run-ios, build fails tells me that I need to unlink the react native vector icons...
POSSIBLE REASONS
If you are using react-native version 0.60++ then it must be the linking problem!
In react-native 0.60++ they introduced automatic linking so the command react-native link library-name won't work any more.
So it has to link the vector icons library automatically but for some reasons it fails to link it automatically.
HOW I SOLVED IT?
Clean your gradlew (cd android && gradlew clean) //Optional
Go to android/app/build.gradle
add this at the end of gradle file:-
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
Now re-compile (react-native run-android/ios). It must be working now.

RN 0.38.0 React/RCTBridgeModule.h' file not found

This is a long shot, but I've taken over a project done in RN v .38 and I need to update a library and resolve the build issues without updating the version of react native. I'm trying to update the react-native-aws-cognito-js library and while it looks to be compatible with the formatting change of import statements, I'm still not able to get it to build on IOS. Android is fine.
To reproduce my issue I did the following:
react-native init sample --version 0.38.0
cd sample
npm install react-native-aws-cognito-js
react-native link react-native-aws-cognito-js
react-native run-ios
Which fails with:
/node_modules/react-native-aws-cognito-js/ios/RNAWSCognito.h:4:9:
fatal error: 'React/RCTBridgeModule.h' file not found #import
Mobile and RN development is not my wheelhouse, but I'm hoping there is some sort of xcode configuration or tricks I can do to get this working and avoid a major overhaul. Running an upgrade to >.40 would probably take too long and also cause other compatibility issues that I don't have the time to resolve.
Note: I have tried the suggestions in `React/RCTBridgeModule.h` file not found

React-Native: Build error GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h file not found

I had a old React-Native project which I wanted to give it a try again and when trying to run the project on iOS (Android works perfect) I get the error that Debug-iphonesimulator/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h file not found.
If I run the project from the command react-native run-ios, than the build will succeed.
What can cause this issue and how can it be fixed?
I have tried to fix it with the comments from this issue but no success.
React-Native verision: 0.47
Full error:
<built-in>:1:10: fatal error:
'/Users/myUser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Project-gcaxrvbcwgkfhkadevoqxcprxszw/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h' file not found
I fixed by copying file GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h (in /ios/build/Build/Products/) to the path mentioned in the error message.
The path mentioned in error message for simulator is not same as real phone, you need to copy for a second time.
The development for React Native just like droped in a deep black hole, what you need to do is just climb and climb and climb...
Changing the Info.plist preprocessor prefix file to works for me ${CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/../GeneratedInfoPlistDotEnv.h
Image of code in Xcode 9
If you're coming from React version 0.60 and above, you should be referencing the package from GitHub instead of NPM. The author hasn't released auto-linking support on NPM yet, even though it's already merged!?
Try these steps after you unlink and uninstall the existing version of react-native-config. Remember to revert to default Info.plist preprocessor settings in XCode build settings.
yarn add https://github.com/luggit/react-native-config.git
cd ios && pod install
You don't have to add any other post-install scripts, just run the app like usual and it should work fine. Make sure you undo any other fixes before doing this.

React Native - Linked NativeModule works when run from Xcode, but not from packager

I recently added bugsnag-react-native and followed the directions for linking. When I run using the packager without Xcode, I get the following error screen.
When I search on Google for answers, the only relevant issue posted is Runtime Error: No Native client found which suggests that its a linking problem and to follow the directions, but from my perspective everything looks fine and I followed the direction.
What reason would a native module only be available when run from Xcode?
I had a similar issue and below solved it:
If you can successfully run from Xcode, then delete your ios/build folder (rm -rf ios/build) and re-run react-native run-ios.

Can't require external react native Components

I'm currently trying to learn react Native. While building my first App I tryed to include a external Component from Github (https://github.com/voronianski/react-native-effects-view). Fallowing the small step by step instruction I installed the Component via npm npm install react-native-effects-view --save and included the native Code via XCode:
and required the Component via var EffectsView = require('react-native-effects-view');. After restarting the App I get the fallowing error: Error: Requiring unknown module "react-native-effects-view". If you are sure the module is there, try restarting the packager. (I did restart the package roughly 1000 times)
Maybe somebody can point out the mistake I did and explain me how to do it correct?
Thanks
Daniel
Try to run react-native run-ios. You need to run this after npm install.
you need to bundle your app again since emulator doesn't have the binary for react-native-effects-view module yet
so just run this command again
react-native run-ios
