@Sbphillips19 Are you using Windows or Linux/Mac? Since the .git folder starts with a dot, it is hidden. On Windows you can check “show hidden folders” on the file browser. On Mac or Linux just run
ls -ain the root of the node package “react-native-udp”.EDIT: Since the issue is fixed now, it would be the easiest to just reinstall the package with the new update. Thanks @mvayngrib !
