Unable to parse @ReactMethod annotations from native module

[connorpmullins]

Description

Hello New Arch friends!!

After upgrading to React Native 74/bridgeless from 73 (already was using the new arch), I'm receiving the following issue:

0.74.2: 2024-06-26 13:58:22.563 16714-16799 ReactNativeJS           com.omniafishing.app                 
E  Error: Exception in HostObject::get for prop 'RNIterableAPI': 
com.facebook.react.internal.turbomodule.core.TurboModuleInteropUtils$ParsingException: 
Unable to parse @ReactMethod annotations from native module: RNIterableAPI. 
Details: Module exports two methods to JavaScript with the same name: "setUserId"

The error makes sense, there are two instances of setUserId in the RNIterableAPI package - they're method overloads. I guess it also makes sense javascript doesn't support overloading.

What I don't understand is why this error started popping up now. I ran across this thread where two other people were experiencing the same issue with different packages than me - otherwise I'd continue to assume that I have some sort of configuration or caching issue. That could, of course, still be the case.

Update: It's probably the case. My reproducer demo shows that react native 0.74.2 is in fact working with Iterable. I'm filing this anyway in case anyone else finds their way here in search of help. To everyone supporting react-native, though, feel free to close this. I don't know where to go from here, but I'll report back if I resolve the issue.

Steps to reproduce

1. Bootstrap a react native project using 0.74.2 and the new arch / bridgeless
2. Install "@iterable/react-native-sdk": "1.3.19"
3. Build Android
4. Try to run Android
5. It works, what is this kid talking about?

The code that fires the error message you mentioned was introduced in 0.73:
1f7daf9

So I'm unsure why you're seeing this only when bumping 0.74 -> 0.73.
I have the suspect you were not using bridgeless in 0.73 but we can't really see without the full repro.

Anyway, the error is legit as the Iterable SDK is annotating two methods with the same name (as you said) so they should fix this in their SDK:
