Unable to find a specification for `UMConstantsInterface` depended upon by `EXLocalAuthentication`

Question

I'm trying to update my react native version to 0.66.4. I tried to follow the helper tool (https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.61.5&to=0.66.4) but it didn't worked.

This is my package.json:

"react": "17.0.2",
"react-native": "^0.66.4",

"devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.9",
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.12.5",
    "@react-native-community/eslint-config": "^2.0.0",
    "babel-jest": "^26.6.3",
    "eslint": "^7.14.0",
    "git-commit-msg-linter": "^2.4.4",
    "jest": "^26.6.3",
    "jetifier": "^1.6.6",
    "metro": "0.64.0",
    "metro-config": "0.64.0",
    "metro-react-native-babel-preset": "^0.66.2",
    "react-test-renderer": "17.0.2"
  }

and the podfile content:

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native-unimodules/cocoapods.rb'
platform :ios, '11.0'

  end
end

But when I run pod install I got the following error:

Unable to find a specification for `UMConstantsInterface` depended upon by `EXLocalAuthentication`

I also tried removing node_modules, cleaning the cache, but nothing worked.

Could someone help me with this? Thank you so much in advance!

Answer 1

running into same error in recently updated RN project. We use expo-local-authentication (which is now replaced by expo package but has not yet been updated in our project). This could be related, or not.
