Hey @mmuaz, I just created a new bare project and installed expo-camera without issue. I would recommend deleting your node_modules, clearing your caches and then trying to install it again.

Cheers,
Adam

nothing worked

Is this in an existing project or a new one?

I normally use yarn, but tried it with npm now, since that’s what you’re using:

$ expo init test --npm
✔ Choose a template: › blank                 a minimal app as clean as an empty canvas
✔ Downloaded and extracted project files.

📦 Using npm to install packages.

✔ Installed JavaScript dependencies.

✅ Your project is ready!

To run your project, navigate to the directory and run one of the following npm commands.

- cd test
- npm start # you can open iOS, Android, or web from here, or run them directly with the commands below.
- npm run android
- npm run ios # requires an iOS device or macOS for access to an iOS simulator
- npm run web
$ cd test
$ expo install expo-camera

in existing project. i tried creating 6,7 projects from start but always get this error

#6

Something weird is going on there. It looks as if npm is not able to find the right version of @unimodules/core.

Can you run expo diagnostics and post the output?

Maybe upgrading/downgrading nodejs would help.
Maybe trying yarn instead of npm would help.

#7

are you using npm 7?

also, i published an update to expo-camera earlier today which made the peer dependency more lenient as i believe this might have happened to another npm 7 user: https://github.com/expo/expo/commit/169523cfdcce6a650641c0e6396020a3fa16e7cc

so you definitely should not be getting a warning about @unimodules/core@5.1.2 anymore, and the expo-camera version that is getting installed should be 9.1.1

I’m using npm 7.0.14. It suddenly started working. I don’t know what is the reason. It works sometime but most of the time i’m getting the error i posted earlier.

#10

I believe that the reason it works now is because of the updated version of expo-camera that @notbrent published.

#11

alright… but what to do if it stopped working in future project.

#12

Complain on the forums again. Or on the GitHub issue tracker if you can give all the details about the circumstances like OS, version of nodejs, version of npm, version of expo-cli, etc.
