React-native-app-auth: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNAppAuth.authorize')

Issue

Hello !

I have done exactly what you wrote on the readme for installing react-native-app-auth.
I always got this message when I'm calling the authorize from react-native-app-auth method :

[TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'RNAppAuth.authorize')]

This is the same issue as here and I find no solution to solve it since 2 days, so I'm posting here because I don't know what more I can try. I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much...

If you're using Expo (specifically the managed workflow) please see https://docs.expo.io/guides/authentication/ all others should ensure their native code is linked properly and natively rebuilt (npx pod-install && npx react-native run-ios or npx react-native run-android).
