Hi everyone! I need urgent technical help. To briefly describe the problem: we are trying to use your chat skd with react native. We have tried everything for 2 weeks and it is still not working. We had huge problems with telephony. Updating all the libraries and changing everything - now we face even bigger issue with the chat which was supposed to be a ready-made solution! We connected all using UI kit. And it says connected however we do not receive any user’s data back! We followed the documentation to connect it. User is online, connect works but it says ERROR NO CONNECT and we do not get any info. Could you please provide examples to connect? We know there is an option to connect with firebase as well but the reviews left by other developers are bad and they do not recommend it. Can you have a call with us ASAP? The deadline for our project release is in 2 weeks. Could you please get back to us ASAP with tech team - APP ID ---

Hello @Irina_Kashuba, and welcome to the Sendbird community. Could you please provide me with your code that shows where you are implementing the `SendbirdUIKitContainer`? When do you receive this error? Are you performing any actions or is it immediately after you connect? ---

From the error message in your screenshot, you are not connecting the user before you render the `GroupChannelListFragment`. I see where you are connecting in your `MessageScreen` function, but it appears that is being rendered after the `GroupChannelListScreen`. Could you provide copy the complete code and paste it here for that file? ---

Ok! Will be able to do it in a few hours or more like in 16 hours. Can you please set this chat as priority and make sure someone answers to me in 15 hours? ---

@Ian After 2 weeks of trying we were able to connect UI. Now we have another problem -we get a bug error “SendBirdException: Failed at loading group channels” every other time when we are trying to send request to get and display the list of group channels. It happens once and then works 2 times no problem, then again happens once. It is a bug with SDK on your side. Our app is react native app. Can you fix this bug today-tomorrow? ![Screen Shot 2022-09-27 at 9.56.21 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sendbird/original/2X/9/9600ffd5c0b6bbaddf73fb5c5e0964c694f994e7.png) ---

@Irina_Kashuba, We need the code to recreate the issue. Once you provide it and we will work to recreate and investigate the issue. When we start investigating, we will be able to provide an estimation. If your developers are able to create a sample application that demonstrates the issue and provide us with the code via GitHub, that will help expedite the process. ---

@Ian Hi Ian, just a kind reminder to start fixing the bug. Our project is being delayed bc of this sendbird launch. We wanted to use sendbird for 2 other projects which are in progress with reactnative so we would appreciate if this urgent issue can be solved soon ---
