React-native-fs: Could not resolve dependency: peer react-native@"^0.59.5" from [email protected]

[keremoge]

Because the react-native version specified in package.json, when you try npm i with npm version 7.* you get following error because not using specified react-native version. There is a workaround which is using npm i --legacy-peer-deps.

Could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer react-native@"^0.59.5" from [email protected]

package.json:

  "peerDependencies": {
    "react-native": "^0.59.5",
    "react-native-windows": "^0.57.2"
  }

I think peerDependencies should be removed from package.json

The workaround submitted does not seem to work here.
I tested :

npm install react-native-fs --legacy-peer-deps

And I got :
npm ERR! subset is not a function

Try Reinstalling NPM globally.
npm i -g npm

This should solve the error.
