Hi It seems there is an issue in agent.query in react native and I was able to narrow down the issue. wanted to see if anyone has a solution for it? In ‘query(canisterId, fields, identity)’ function inside agent library, it seems the fetch used does not support StreamReader in react native as it i…

So the first step obviously is to apply the polyfill globally using: import {polyfill as polyfillFetch} from 'react-native-polyfill-globals/src/fetch' polyfillFetch(); I put this in a shim.js that is imported by the top-level index.js. The second step is to patch @dfinity/agent to replace this l…

I can see the response when I use console.log(await response.text()), but response.arrayBuffer() is not returning anything. I believe it has something to do with StreamReader

Can you please share a part of code showing how you used and configured react-native-fetch-api ?

BTW I use patch-package to patch these libraries.

[image] jzxchiang: base64 Thank you for the great guide. It seems some errors are gone, but I run into a new error, which I am debugging in case if you have any insights on this one Input too short at node_modules\borc\src\decoder.js:548:14 in Decoder#_decode at node_modules\borc\src\decoder…

So I can confirm my call is received by the canister(I see it in debug message) When my canister does not have a return everything is working, however, when my canister returns a Text (a simple one). and I query it using the agent library, it stops responding, and I cannot even call it using comman…

You probably need to put a bunch of console.logs inside the agent-js library to see what part it’s hanging up on. It could be the BigInt polyfill being too slow. Also, my (local) canister sometimes stops responding after it fills up with too much data, and after I restart it it works. Maybe try res…

Again thank you for saving tons of time for me. It is working perfectly for me, however, for me it works if I do not put textStreaming: true, and does not work with it. But all looks good and much appreciated.

Yeah you only want to put that for the call() method, not for the other ones that return binary data. If that doesn’t work, then that’s surprising.

Ah, now I see! I put it for query! So that was the issue. thank you for mentioning it

I think it’s related to an issue I found where RN doesn’t properly deal with binary response bodies. Basically I had to polyfill the default fetch. See here for details.
