# Clerk Dependency Fixes - Complete Summary
|
|
|
|
**Date:** January 2025
|
|
**Status:** ✅ ALL RESOLVED

|
**Total Issues Fixed:** 3 missing dependencies
|
|
|

|
|
## 🎯 Problem Overview
|
|
|
|
The FitAI mobile app failed to bundle due to **missing peer dependencies** required by `@clerk/clerk-expo`. Each dependency caused a bundling error that had to be resolved sequentially.
|
|
|

|
|
## 🔧 Additional Fixes Applied
|
|
|
|
### 1. Fixed API Import Issue
|
|
|
|
**File:** `apps/mobile/src/api/fitnessProfile.ts`
|
|
|
|
**Problem:** Incorrectly using React hooks outside of component context.
|
|
|
|
**Solution:**
|
|
- Removed `import { useAuth } from "@clerk/clerk-expo"` from utility file
|
|
- Removed incorrect helper function that called hooks
|
|
- Auth tokens now properly passed from components
|
|
|
|
### 2. Created .npmrc Configuration
|
|
|
|
**File:** `apps/mobile/.npmrc`
|
|
|
|
**Content:**
|
|
```
|
|
legacy-peer-deps=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Benefit:** Automatically handles React Native dependency conflicts without manual `--legacy-peer-deps` flag.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Created Installation Script
|
|
|
|
**File:** `prototype/install-clerk-deps.sh`
|
|
|
|
**Purpose:** Automated installation of all Clerk dependencies with verification.
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd apps/mobile
|
|
bash ../../install-clerk-deps.sh
|
|
```
|

## 🧪 Verification Steps
|
|
|
|
### 1. Check All Dependencies Installed
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd apps/mobile
|
|
npm list @clerk/clerk-expo expo-web-browser expo-auth-session expo-secure-store expo-crypto react-dom react-native-web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Expected Output:**
|
|
```
|
|
@fitai/mobile@1.0.0
|
|

|
|
npx expo start -c
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Test App Launch

## 🎓 Root Cause Analysis
|
|
|
|
### Why Did This Happen?
|
|
|
|
1. **Clerk's Dependencies:** `@clerk/clerk-expo` depends on:
|
|
- `@clerk/clerk-react` (which requires `react-dom`)
|
|
- Multiple Expo packages for OAuth, SSO, and security
|
|
|
|
2. **Peer Dependency Issue:** When installing with React Native's complex dependency tree, peer dependencies weren't automatically installed
|
|
|
|
3. **Silent Failures:** npm didn't warn about missing peer dependencies during installation
|
|
|
|
4. **Sequential Discovery:** Each missing dependency only appeared during bundling, requiring multiple installation rounds
|
|
|
|
### Why react-dom in React Native?
|
|
|
|
- Clerk's core SDK (`@clerk/clerk-react`) is built for web and React Native
|
|
- Uses `react-dom` for web compatibility features
|
|
- `react-native-web` provides compatibility layer for React Native
|
|
- Both are needed for Clerk to function properly in React Native
|
|

|
## 🛡️ Prevention Strategy
|
|
|
|
### For Future Installations
|
|
|
|
1. **Use Installation Script:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd apps/mobile
|
|
bash ../../install-clerk-deps.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Or Manual Complete Install:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install @clerk/clerk-expo expo-web-browser expo-auth-session expo-secure-store expo-crypto react-dom react-native-web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Always Check Peer Dependencies:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm info @clerk/clerk-expo peerDependencies
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Follow Documentation:** Use `CLERK_SETUP.md` which includes complete dependency list
|
|
|
|
5. **Use .npmrc:** Already configured in project to handle conflicts automatically
