Build on IOS failed

[criss02-cs]

Description

I'm trying to build my app on Mac for iOS, when I try to build the app he gives me an error The following build commands failed: CompileC /Users/gbdev/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/GBWebApp-dgxghrfnprondmbkxeptlzyzcmeu/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React-logger.build/Objects-normal/arm64/react_native_log.o /Users/gbdev/Desktop/ProgettiCA/rn-GBAppWeb/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/logger/react_native_log.cpp normal arm64 c++ com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'React-logger' from project 'Pods') (1 failure) I have tried to clean cache and everything I can do and find on internet, but nothing of these works.

Version

0.69.3

Steps to reproduce

npm run iOS to run iOS app, on building phase he stops and gave me the error I wrote before.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

I don't have any code to show, it's not a my code problem

[lilitsimonyan98]

same for me!

[FrenkyBojler]

same for me too

Could you try the following commands, from your app root:

1. cd ios
2. rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock <your_app_name>.xcworkspace build
3. bundle install (if you haven't already run this)
4. bundle exec pod install
5. cd ..
6. npx react-native run-ios

The first 2 commands will clean up the dependencies for the iOS project The second 2 will reainstall them (notice that bundle will require you to use Ruby 2.7.5, so you may have to install a ruby version manager and update Ruby... You can read more here) The last two will try to build your app again.

Already tried, but It's not working

same problem for me

Hi there, the same issue for me.

I faced same problem. It appeared after installing Firebase SDK and running pod install (faced error message that I need to use use_modular_headers! in Podfile).

After that I can't build app.

[cipolleschi]

Hi there, I'm looking into the issue. In order to investigate this properly, could you tell me what's the proper setup?

• Are you using the New or the Legacy Architecture?
• Are you using Hermes or JSC as default engine?

I just downloaded the template npx react-native init --version 0.69.3 and then npx react-native run-ios

And it worked fine.

Could you prepare a repro (a github repo would work) with your setup?

@olegtech We know that there are some incompatibilities between RN and Firebase and we are working on trying to solve them. Could you prepare a repro (a github repo would work) with your setup so I can test it out?

@cipolleschi Created a repo: https://github.com/olegtech/pod-issue-repo/tree/main/TestRepo

First of all I'm using version of RN: 0.70.1

What I did:

• npx react-native init TestRepo
• cd ./TestRepo/ios && pod install
• in ios folder - bundle install
• pod install
• return to root folder and run yarn add @react-native-firebase/app
• return to ios folder and run pod install (got an error about use_modular_headers! in Podfile)
• return to root folder and run yarn ios (as npx react-native run-ios)

[olegtech]

@cipolleschi I've resolved it:

According to Firebase docs:

What I did:

• cd ios and added to the top in Podfile: use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
• in Podfile - commented :flipper_configuration => FlipperConfiguration.enabled
• pod install --repo-update

And it is working for me ;)

Hello, I am having the same issue with my app. It was running before, but now I want to work on a V2 and it just won't build. It's the same error. Tried all of the above-mentioned solutions and none of them worked.

Can anyone please help me find a solution?

[olegtech]

@michaelkozah Hi there! Please share your Podfile

[michaelkozah]

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods' require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '11.0'

target 'SmartLand' do config = use_native_modules!

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

use_react_native!( :path => config[:reactNativePath], # to enable hermes on iOS, change false to true and then install pods :hermes_enabled => false )

pod 'RNVectorIcons', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons'

pod 'BVLinearGradient', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-linear-gradient'

pod 'react-native-image-picker', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-image-picker'

pod 'react-native-slider', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-community/slider'

target 'SmartLandTests' do inherit! :complete # Pods for testing end

Enables Flipper.

Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and

you should disable the next line.

use_flipper!()

post_install do |installer| react_native_post_install(installer) end end

[michaelkozah]

I even got the code where it was running (V1) and I tried running it once again and it still didn't work

[cipolleschi]

1. can you show your exact error?
2. how are you installing the cocoapods?
3. make sure to disable flipper (comment out use_flipper!())

[michaelkozah]

Thanks for your support but it turns out to be an error caused RNFirebase. I found out by opening the project.xcworkspace on Xcode and going through what seems to be failing my build. I noticed that the RNFirebase was failing my build so I tried uninstalling it and it worked. My project was up and running again. Anyway, thank you guys for the help and support ❤️

[bumjin1013]

any solution?? same error react-native: v0.70.6

[naseerahmedaziz]

facing the same issue with react-native 0.70.5

[mefik1337]

0.71.1 same issue

//fix which works for me: in AppDelegate.mm i've changed #import "ReactNativeConfig.h" into #import "RNCConfig.h"

[Melwin2317]

Any solution for this? I've done everything, still nothing. I am getting exact same issue for some packages such as like react-native-nfc-manager,react-native-video.ie (in target 'react-native-nfc-manager' from project 'Pods'),(in target 'react-native-video' from project 'Pods') for almost every packages in my project. I have tried a lot of things such as reinstalling pod file, deleting derived data, updating Xcode. Still no change. Any help?

@Melwin2317 what is the error that you are facing?

The snippet you pasted are just compile instructions with no errors. For example:

CompileC /Users/donamstechlabs/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/vidhyadhan-fzcswpsqsxtnykavdwzfwdqxtcoc/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/react-native-pager-view.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ReactNativePageView.o /Users/donamstechlabs/Development/vidhyadhan-mobile-app/node_modules/react-native-pager-view/ios/ReactNativePageView.m normal arm64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'react-native-pager-view' from project 'Pods')

• CompileC => is the command
• /Users/donamstechlabs/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/vidhyadhan-fzcswpsqsxtnykavdwzfwdqxtcoc/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/react-native-pager-view.build/Objects-normal/arm64/ReactNativePageView.o => is the path to the object that needs to be generated by the compiler
• /Users/donamstechlabs/Development/vidhyadhan-mobile-app/node_modules/react-native-pager-view/ios/ReactNativePageView.m => it's the file that needs to be build
• normal arm64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler are compiler flags
• (in target 'react-native-pager-view' from project 'Pods') => the target that contains the file.

So, I can't see any error here... :(

This is the error. The following build command failed.

I am getting the below error in Xcode for the same project

[cipolleschi]

This is the error. The following build command failed.

That's what happened, but not why! 😉 The error is why it has happened.

In your case, the error is that react-native-video is importing non-modular headers inside some framework modules.

Could you copy and paste your Podfile, please? Also, which command do you run to install your pods?

[cipolleschi]

So... as far as I can see, you are using a Cocoapods plugin that allow you to mix Static Frameworks and static libraries.

This is not required anymore. To simplify the setup, please remove the lines:

- use_frameworks!    # added by developer

# ...

- $static_framework = ['FlipperKit', 'Flipper', 'Flipper-Folly',
-     'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit', 'DoubleConversion',
-     'glog', 'Flipper-PeerTalk', 'Flipper-RSocket', 'Yoga', 'YogaKit',
-     'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Universal', 'boost-for-react-native']

- pre_install do |installer|
-     Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
-     installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
-         if $static_framework.include?(pod.name)
-           def pod.build_type;
-             Pod::BuildType.static_library
-           end
-         end
-       end
-  end

Now, there is the react-native-video framework that is causing problems. Let's try to add the following line:

+ pod 'react-native-video', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-video', :modular_headers => true
target 'vidhyadhanTests' do

I'm not 100% confident that it will work, but it should.

Also, if you can prepare a small repro (new app with just the dependencies that creates this problem) I can investigate better.

Thank you so much.

[Melwin2317]

@cipolleschi oh man, you are a life saver. it worked well. I am really happy today.I had been working on this problem for over a week and was starting to lose hope.I had considered starting a new project from scratch by copying and pasting code from the current project. Anyway,now I don't need to do that. Thank you so much for helping me. You just made my day.

@cipolleschi Hi! I also try this for my packages like

pod 'react-native-nfc-manager', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-nfc-manager' pod 'react-native-camera', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-camera'

but its giving this kind of error in target 'react-native-nfc-manager-framework' from project 'Pods in target 'react-native-camera-framework' from project 'Pods

[cipolleschi]

Hi @adilijaz! On which version of react native are you?

For some time now, we have autolinking. This means that you should remove those lines

-pod 'react-native-nfc-manager', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-nfc-manager'
-pod 'react-native-camera', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-camera'

and install these dependencies using

yarn add react-native-nfc-manager react-native-camera

CLI autolinking will take care of adding the pod xxx instruction with the right path for you.

Also, you should give a little bit more information about the error... can you add a screenshot or a more detailed description of your errors?

[nileshgalaxy]

@cipolleschi I've resolved it:

According to Firebase docs:

What I did:

• cd ios and added to the top in Podfile: use_frameworks! :linkage => :static
• in Podfile - commented :flipper_configuration => FlipperConfiguration.enabled
• pod install --repo-update

And it is working for me ;)

Thanks you save my days it working fine
