3rd party maven dependency in react-native npm module

[DanielFrTB]

Hi,
I am trying to use 3rd party SDK in my react-native android module.

and I have got the same problem here:
https://github.com/callstack/react-native-builder-bob/issues/63

It seems like the module can't find the SDK and looking in the wrong place.

it only finds the SDK if I specified the in the
`maven {
url "xxxxx"

}`

inside the Example-app build.gradle, the problem is that I am spcified is twice, first in the module build.gradle and the second time inside Example-app build.gradle, is it the right approach?

If I need to add @react-native-community/datetimepicker in my project. how I will do. If I'm adding to peerDependencies it is not calling import DateTimePicker from '@react-native-community/datetimepicker'; it is throwing an error.
kindly suggest

Hey @rajeevverma076, I think the issue you are referring to is different than the original issue. Whenever you add a dependency to the peerDependencies, it doesn't actually get installed at user's end. It's just for warning users that they don't have a library installed while another library depends on it. You can see the official documentation for peerDependencies. This means the end user still needs to install the library in the peerDependencies manually.

Hey @DanielFrTB you have some progress with this issue?

You probably don't need to edit the example app's gradle at all. At android/build.gradle, you can find your library's build gradle file and add the dependency there. It will be enough to make the SDK usable on your library code.
