It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.61 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running `react-native info` on a project using the latest release.

It seems that the api with the sync mark has this error.

@i7soft Did you ever find a solution for this problem? Currently experiencing this right now, and not being able to use a debugger is rough.

update: Our problem ended up being related to a rollbar version upgrade, rollbar/rollbar-react-native#101

@TheNoodleMoose no💔,i am waitting a solution

@TheNoodleMoose

@i7soft Was react native the only thing you have updated? Ours was working after our React Native upgrade to the latest version, what broke it was a different package being upgraded. We used git bisect to find the culprit.

i7soft commented Nov 14, 2019

@TheNoodleMoose i try this:

  1. react-native init demo👈 the lastest version
    2.add package "react-native-device-info" to the demo
    3.add code to App.js:
import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';
console.log(DeviceInfo.isCameraPresentSync());👈 call a sync function

4.open debug mode
5.restart app,then show:

Invariant Violation: Calling synchronous methods on native modules is not supported in Chrome.

 Consider providing alternative methods to expose this method in debug mode, e.g. by exposing constants ahead-of-time.

@TheNoodleMoose

@i7soft So since it seems to be the react-native-device-info package, I think they figured out the solution was to have a check for whether you: 1. Have a debugger or 2. Are in development mode. If either of those is present, then just mock the sync value. It's a shame but there was good reasoning behind it. Here is link discussing the solution: react-native-device-info/react-native-device-info#776 (comment)

@TheNoodleMoose I use react-native-device-info just for example. In fact, I need to develop synchronous native features. I found that when debugging, I can't use the synchronous method. I don't know if it's my problem, or react native will improve this in the future.

Ran into this problem when upgrading to react native 0.62.0. Still present.

We are using react-native-device-info version 5.5.3. However it seems the issue was caused by the new Appearance.getColorScheme() code. I removed my calls to it and its working fine now.

nechmads commented Apr 1, 2020

Same here. Removing calls to Appearance in version 0.62 solved it.
I reverted back to using expo/react-native-appearance package

Can confirm that this happens with the Appearance API on the latest version (0.62)

Downgrading to 0.64 doesn't cause this issue.
