Sync or async? about react-native-mixpanel HOT 10 OPEN

Thanks @msageryd . As you guys might know I don't have time to maintain the library and reached out again to Mixpanel team, let's see if they are interested helping out.

Same here. Don't know if it's relevant but I see it mostly on older devices running older Android versions.

I'm starting to think so too, we have a few of these crashes:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.identify(java.lang.String)' on a null object reference

And mixpanel/mixpanel-android#385 it mentions this exception is thrown when the SDK hasn't been initialized so it seems plausible for a race-condition to occur in React Native apps using Mixpanel.

Any update on this? It seems reasonable to promisify the calls to the underlying mixpanel methods

+1
run into case when .reset() made .track() to not happen. Ended up with ugly setTimeout ;(

from react-native-mixpanel.

Have the same problem, as some calls which are ran on app start fail. Will resort to setTimeout for now, although I'm hoping for a promise-based one.

I'm also running into this issue. Starting to see:

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.track(java.lang.String, org.json.JSONObject)' on a null object reference

Any updates on this?

Any update on this? i am facing the same issue. Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.MixpanelAPI.track(java.lang.String, org.json.JSONObject)' on a null object reference

I find this a bit odd.. No shadow at all over @davodesign84, instead kudus to you.

MixPanel is a commercial product. One would think that they'd support projects like this, as this seems to be the only way to use MixPanel on React Native. Did they miss that RN has grown kind of big? Anyway, I'm not using MixPanel anymore.

Everyone, I am in the middle of creating a PR that will have the initialize return a promise. Your app code will be responsible for not calling the track methods until it has initialized, but that's not a major bummer.

The PR is at #123. You can use it today as it has a backwards compatible API
