I have no idea why this has been closed, or it’s perceived as not being related related to this library.

@tmjordan, I’ve also faced the same issue, it appears like the contents of the published version of gifted-chat is different than the version you fork, and this is because npm runs a prepublishing process (https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts) before actually publishing it, I’ve been managed to get my fork to work this way: On my main application, I’ve added the following postinstall script:

"scripts": { "postinstall": "cd node_modules/react-native-gifted-chat && yarn install && yarn lint && yarn build && yarn config:npm && rm -rf node_modules" },

yarn build is failing because of warning/erros while compiling with tsc. How do you make sure, build is successful ? I am not using typescript in my project. I am trying to use my own fork.
