#Troubleshooting

#Monorepo + pnpm: Android Gradle paths

If your app lives in a monorepo and you install dependencies with pnpm, node_modules is usually at the workspace root. Update the Android Gradle files to point to the workspace root by replacing ../node_modules with {path_to_root}/node_modules in:

• android/settings.gradle
• android/app/build.gradle

For example:

pluginManagement { includeBuild("../../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin") }
// ...
includeBuild('../../node_modules/@react-native/gradle-plugin')

// Replace ../node_modules with ../../node_modules wherever it appears

#Expo Config Plugins: reapply the patch on every prebuild

If you use @rock-js/plugin-expo-config-plugins, prebuild regenerates the native projects, so you must reapply the Gradle path patch after each prebuild.

• Create a small script to patch both files
• Then run it after every prebuild:

{
  "scripts": {
    "prebuild": "rock prebuild && node ./scripts/patch-gradle-paths.js"
  }
}
