# 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.
---
## 🔴 Issues Encountered
### Error #1: expo-web-browser
```
Unable to resolve "expo-web-browser" from "node_modules/@clerk/clerk-expo/dist/provider/ClerkProvider.js"
```
### Error #2: expo-auth-session
```
Unable to resolve "expo-auth-session" from "node_modules/@clerk/clerk-expo/dist/hooks/useSSO.js"
```
### Error #3: react-dom
```
Unable to resolve "react-dom" from "node_modules/@clerk/clerk-react/dist/index.js"
```
---
## ✅ Complete Solution
### All Dependencies Installed
```bash
cd apps/mobile
npm install \
@clerk/clerk-expo \
expo-web-browser \
expo-auth-session \
expo-secure-store \
expo-crypto \
react-dom \
react-native-web
```

## 🔧 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
├─┬ @clerk/clerk-expo@2.18.3
│ ├── expo-auth-session@7.0.8
│ ├── expo-crypto@15.0.7
│ ├── expo-secure-store@15.0.7
│ └── expo-web-browser@15.0.9
├── expo-auth-session@7.0.8
├── expo-crypto@15.0.7
├── expo-secure-store@15.0.7
├── expo-web-browser@15.0.9
├── react-dom@19.2.0
└── react-native-web@0.21.2
```
### 2. Clear Metro Cache
```bash
npx expo start -c
```
### 3. Test App Launch
- Scan QR code with Expo Go
- App should load without bundling errors
- Sign-in screen should render correctly

## 🎓 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
