TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'ClientModule.init')

So, I was trying to migrate my react-native-cli project to expo managed project, and I encountered this error. Any solution to this problem? does it not work with expo?

Hello @Yash-007

Expo provides two workflows (Managed and Bare).
Voximplant React Native SDK uses native modules, that’s why React Native application (based on Expo) should use only Bare workflow. It means you need to “eject”.

If you are using Expo SDK 40 or below, please follow the instruction on this page: https://docs.expo.dev/expokit/eject/
For Expo SDK 41, please follow the instruction on this page: https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/customizing/

Please consider that moving to the bare workflow may cause the issues such as:

1. You need Xcode and Android Studio to develop or build the native code.
2. React native version should be upgraded manually.
3. and others described here: https://docs.expo.dev/expokit/eject/#should-i-eject-to-expokit

Hey @theartificialguy were you able to make it work with Expo? I have a similar scenario and I'm considering to give it a try.

I am also trying to implement in Expo if anyone ever figured out how to do it...

breaking out to the 'bare-workflow' does not help. as if you wish to continue testing in expo you will still run into the issue of

"Cannot read property 'init' of null" when trying to run your app in expo.
