It seems a problem related with a dependency that react-native-usbserial needs.

@cdesch could your share your OS specs?

[cdesch]

@mapaiva Here are my specs

MacOS 10.12.3
"react-native": "^0.40.0"
"react-native-usbserial": "^1.0.0",

I encountered this error and was able to solve it by duplicating the maven config from react-native-usbserial in my project's own configuration. Specifically, I added these lines to my android/app/build.gradle:

repositories {
  maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
}

[mapaiva]

Great @mhiley!!! If you could create a PR with the solution it would be very appreciated 🎉

[mhiley]

The change was in my project that uses your library as a dependency, not in your library itself, so I don't believe there is anything to pull request.

On a side note, is it possible to read from a serial device with this library yet? I see that readAsync is unimplemented:

https://github.com/mapaiva/react-native-usbserial/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/bmateam/reactnativeusbserial/UsbSerialDevice.java#L33

I'm interested in possibly taking a stab at implementing this, so am curious if you just haven't gotten to it yet, or was there some technical roadblock to implementing it? Any progress I make will be contributed back to your project of course 😃

Hmm got it :).

Nope, no tech issue just a big lack of time for improving it 😄. Any contribution will be very welcome @mhiley! It'd be awesome.

In fact, I'll try to fix some minors of this project this weekend as well :D .

@mhiley
Just wondering if you ever figured it out?

[mhiley]

@HelgiHe I did get a basic read implementation working, but I've still got some work to do to generalize things enough to submit it back as a pull request (specifically, "FTDI" is hard-coded as the driver) and haven't been able to find the time. Also I'm not sure I have the right hardware to properly test a generalized implementation.

Feel free to check out this branch and use it as a starting point for implementing read:

[HelgiHe]

@mhiley Great thanks for sharing. I'm actually trying to use FTDI RFID reader but we got some different hardware coming in the next few months.
