Your Environment

• Plugin version: 4.13.2

• Device manufacturer / model: iOS Simulator
• React Native version (react-native -v): 0.68.2
• Plugin config

Expected Behavior

Compilation to succeed

Actual Behavior

Compilation fails on link step

Steps to Reproduce

1. use an Apple Silicon Mac
2. bundle exec pod repo update && bundle exec pod install
3. arch -x86_64 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
4. set target to an iOS Simulator device (e.g. iPad)
5. click Run

Context

• I'm trying to use the package with x86 iOS Simulator through Rosetta 2.
• The package compiles fine when building from Arm to Arm (Apple Silicon Mac to iPhone).
• Tried both arch -x86_64 bundle exec pod repo update && arch -x86_64 bundle exec pod install and bundle exec pod repo update && bundle exec pod install - same error.
• clean build doesn't help
• use_frameworks! is NOT used
• we can't use Arm iOS Simulator unfortunately because other packages are broken in it.

I can reproduce this on version 4.14.6 of react-native-background-geolocation as well.

I'll have a look at xcframework build-script.

This issue is not stale and still affects us.

@christocracy sorry for bugging you, but is there any way to get this fixed? We use Rosetta 2 iOS Simulator on our Apple Silicon machines to create screenshots. We can't use ARM64 iOS Simulator since some of our other react-native packages are broken on ARM64 iOS Simulator. But on Rosetta 2 iOS Simulator, only react-native-background-geolocation is broken.

It's a big workflow friction point for us.

@noway How were you able to compile at all, I am also having this issue and I can't seem to compile both on my physical device and simulator.

@akinlekan28 youre using Rosetta 2?

May 23 '24 13:05 christocracy

@akinlekan28 youre using Rosetta 2?

Yes

May 23 '24 13:05 akinlekan28

How are you running with Rosetta 2? I'm able to launch my demo app in a simulator iPhone 15 Pro (Rosetta, 17.2).

@akinlekan28 what's your React Native version?

@christocracy I'm opening Xcode and selecting a Rosetta simulator. Here's my Xcode: I'm using React Native 0.70.15 at the moment.

@akinlekan28 what's your React Native version?

@christocracy I'm opening Xcode and selecting a Rosetta simulator. Here's my Xcode: I'm using React Native 0.70.15 at the moment.

0.74.1

May 23 '24 16:05 akinlekan28

My demo app uses react-native @ 0.73.0

I'm using XCode 15.3.

May 23 '24 16:05 christocracy

@akinlekan28 do you have __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround enabled in your Podfile?

I removed it since it's not needed for newer version of RN

May 23 '24 16:05 akinlekan28

I updated to XCode 15.4. Demo App runs fine with Simulator iPhone 15 Pro (Rosetta, 17.4).

I suggest you try testing in a freshly generated, simple hello-world.

I've been able to get this to work on both the simulator and physical device. I had to create a new app though.

Ok, got it to work too. Seems like RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m is not (no longer?) needed and react-native-background-fetch has to be present in package.json.

Seems like RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m is not (no longer?)

Read about it here

and react-native-background-fetch has to be present in package.json.

As directed by the Setup Instructions

May 23 '24 21:05 christocracy

@christocracy oh I see, RNBackgroundFetch+AppDelegate.m is deprecated, not fully removed. I added it back and the build still works!

It looks like merely doing yarn add react-native-background-fetch@^4.2.1 is enough.

Thank you!

May 23 '24 21:05 noway

Unfortunately, RN doesn’t auto-link transitive dependencies of a plugin.

even though background-fetch is declared as a dependency within package.json, you’re forced to manually yarn add it in order for it to be auto-linked.
