React-native-ble-plx: RN 60.4 Build Error

[msalasSonatas]

Is this library compatible with latest RN version (60.4)?
I keep getting a react native native module cannot be null error when I try to setup this package in my project.

I was able to fix this by downgrading RN version to 59.3, but I just want to be sure If it's just not compatible with 60.4 yet, or I'm missing something.

I get the same errors with react-native 0.60.5.

I wasn't able to resolve it on React Native versions above 0.59.3, I think thats the latest version that this library supports.

It's mentioned in README file:

1. If you are using AndroidX, then for the time being you need to convert import statements in the Android library with jetifier. These steps apply for all react-native packages, which are during the transition period:

• npm install --save-dev jetifier
• Run jetify script after npm install. You can do it by adding "postinstall" script to the package.json file:
  json ... "postinstall": "npx jetify", ...

Did you try that?

If you're using yarn workspaces, you may need to add the library in the nohoist section of the projects package.json.:

"workspaces": {
        "nohoist": [
...
            "react-native-ble-plx",
            "react-native-ble-plx/**",
...
        ]
    }

As same for me with this commands :

react-native link react-native-ble-plx 
npm run postinstall; npm run android
