Just an update, I was able to overcome this by using this version "react-native-appsflyer": "6.17.1", My expo is "expo": "53.0.20",

[sincerely-manny]

@singhagam1 I thought that 6.17.1 doesn't support AppDelegate.swift (I mean expo plugin)

[singhagam1]

Mine is working good in android and iOS, I am able to log events.

[sincerely-manny]

I'll try, thank you!

Here’s what worked for me to solve this problem:

Install patch-package: npm install patch-package postinstall-postinstall --save-dev

Add the script in your package.json:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "postinstall": "patch-package"
}

Open node_modules/react-native-appsflyer/ios/PCAppsFlyer.m and update the import:

-#import <react_native_appsflyer-Swift.h>
+#import <react_native_appsflyer/react_native_appsflyer-Swift.h>

Save the file and generate the patch: npx patch-package react-native-appsflyer

This will create a patch file inside the patches/ folder, for example: patches/react-native-appsflyer+<version>.patch

Now the fix will be automatically applied after every install or build. ✅

Unfortunately the patch doesn't work for me.

[uguraktas]

Any update on this?

[tbonebrad]

This just started happening to me after I added shouldUsePurchaseConnector: true to the plugin configuration. It was working fine before that.

Hi Everyone, just an update on this:

I'm in discussion with AppsFlyer support via the email for a couple of weeks already, but there is no normal solution yet. The suggestions they gave:

1. Clear DerivedData and rebuild an app - which is not seems to work for me;
2. Manually create and setup Bridging-Header.h after expo prebuild - which is more of a workaround than a real solution.

I've asked them for a few times to respond here as well, but they just ignoring it...

[susslik]

Upd 2, the latest response from AppsFlyer support:

We received an update from our internal team. They are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it in the next version of the plugin, which is expected to be released soon.

Fingers crossed :)

[arapocket]

@susslik Appreciate the update.

[Chasty]

Any update here, getting same issue.

[joshmohrer]

I finally solved the problem by moving to Adjust. Good luck everyone :(

[al-af]

fixed in v6.17.8
