React-native-mapbox-gl: npm install errors

[Craytor]

When I try to run npm install @mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl --save, the following happens.

> @mapbox/[email protected] preinstall /Users/tyleryouschak/Code/livestormchasing-mobile/node_modules/@mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl
> npm run fetch:ios:sdk

Got the same error here as well :(

I ended up here because I've been having the same issue

At first, I was downloading the @mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl from the official NPM package of Mapbox. Last time the package has been updated was 8 months ago. Unfortunately, it seems like Mapbox stopped supporting it!

To solve my issue I switched to downloading the package directly from the up-to-date "An unofficial" Github repo. Updated my package.json to this:

"@mapbox/react-native-mapbox-gl": "https://github.com/nitaliano/react-native-mapbox-gl"

There are other posts discussing using CocoaPods #1533 and S3 slow download issue #916

@bilal-korir even if I switch to this repo, I have a extremely slow downloading... Don't know why
