# Native Dependency Troubleshooting

If the Tyrads SDK is installed but you encounter errors like `Native component for "BVLinearGradient" not found` , it means the React Native **Auto-linking** process failed to pick up the native dependencies.

This is common in monorepos, local workspace links, or complex project structures. Follow these steps to manually link the required dependencies.

***

### 1. Required Dependencies

The Tyrads SDK relies on the following dependencies which should be installed in your host app:

* `react-native-linear-gradient` (Native)
* `react-native-snap-carousel` (JS)

***

### 2. Android Manual Linking

If you see `BVLinearGradient not found` on Android, perform these steps:

#### A. Update `android/settings.gradle`

Add the following lines to include the native projects:

```gradle
include ':react-native-linear-gradient'
project(':react-native-linear-gradient').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient/android')
```

#### B. Update `android/app/build.gradle`

Add the implementation lines to your `dependencies` block:

```gradle
dependencies {
    // ... other dependencies
    implementation project(':react-native-linear-gradient')
}
```

#### C. Update `MainApplication.kt`

Manually register the packages in your `getPackages()` method:

```kotlin
import com.BV.LinearGradient.LinearGradientPackage

// ...

override fun getPackages(): List<ReactPackage> =
    PackageList(this).packages.apply {
        // Packages that cannot be autolinked yet can be added manually here
        add(LinearGradientPackage())
    }
```

***

### 3. iOS Manual Linking

If you encounter issues on iOS, follow these steps:

#### A. Update `ios/Podfile`

Ensure the pods are explicitly listed if they aren't being picked up:

```ruby
target 'YourAppName' do
  # ... other pods
  pod 'react-native-linear-gradient', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient'
end
```

#### B. Run Pod Install

After updating the Podfile, navigate to the `ios` directory and run:

```bash
pod install
```

***

### 4. Rebuild the App

After making any native changes, you **must** perform a clean build:

```bash
# Android
yarn android

# iOS
yarn ios
```
