Error 'ReactCommon/TurboModuleBinding.h' file not found on react native 0.72.0 on iOS

[toscalivia83]

Description

After upgrading my react native to version 0.72.0, I can't run my react native app on iOS properly as it logs an error saying: "Error 'ReactCommon/TurboModuleBinding.h' file" as show in the picture below.

I tried executing with the suggestions described here but unfortunately the error is still here.

can you try using bundle install and bundle exec pod install? They should take care of using the right version of Cocoapods and dependencies, so that we are aligned to the same versions.

[toscalivia83]

bundle install worked as soon as I deletee the Gemfile.lock However when I run bundle exec pod install I get this error:

bundler: failed to load command: pod (/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/bin/pod)
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/3.2.2/lib/ruby/3.2.0/bundler/rubygems_integration.rb:308:in `block in replace_bin_path': can't find executable pod for gem cocoapods. cocoapods is not currently included in the bundle, perhaps you meant to add it to your Gemfile? (Gem::Exception)

my ~/.zshrc looks like this:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
alias adb='/Users/marion/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb'

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"

Do you know how I can make it work? I'm trying to find how to add cocoapods into my Gemfile

[toscalivia83]

I checked and cocoapods has been installed properly but I'm still having the same error @cipolleschi

[cipolleschi]

Does it happens to you in a newly created project?

If you do npx react-native init NewProject --version latest and you try to build it, do you still have the Reactcommon/TurboModuleBinding.h file not found error?

I'm trying to understand what's going on, because I can't repro the issue.

[toscalivia83]

I tried creating a new repo, and I used npx react-native@latest init NewProject I guess that's what you meant. It seems the command changed recently

It works fine on another project indeed!

Don't really know what to change in my current project to make it work then 😬 Might be related to the usage of firebase?

[cipolleschi]

Yep, very likely so. My suggestion now would be to start adding one change at the time and try pod install/build until we find what is breaking the build. At that point, we could be able to address the issue. How does it sound?

[Lakston]

I'm having the same problem, tried bundle install but it is not fixing it, if anyone has a clue

[harouf]

I am also facing the same issue. Any workaround?

[Lakston]

I double checked that I disabled both hermes and fabric in my podfile:

    :hermes_enabled => false,
    :fabric_enabled => false,

so I dont know why turbomodules would be imported

node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/react/nativemodule/core/platform/ios/ReactCommon/RCTTurboModule.h:18:9 'ReactCommon/TurboModule.h' file not found

I'm running 0.72.1

[cipolleschi]

Turbomodules are part of React Native and used by React Native even when the New Architecture is not fully enabled, that's why they are included.

Have you disabled Flipper? It is not compatible with use_frameworks!. Can you share your Podfile?

The best suggestion is to start with a fresh project and try to add one dep at the time to understand what breaks the app. We are running test in CI for a vanilla app with static frameworks and they are passing, so React Native works properly with that set up. There should be some dependency which is misconfigured.

[Lakston]

here is my podfile

I just tried to run NO_FLIPPER=1 pod install and still having the same problem, also, is there a way to specify no flipper directly in the podfile ?

[cipolleschi]

Hi, ok, there are a couple of more things:

1. In another issue, they mentioned that you can remove the pre-install hook. I tried to find it but I couldn't... :(
2. You should move all the pod invocations AFTER the invocation of use_react_native!. We set some variables to make sure we can build with use_frameworks! and that could help
3. One of the parameters of use_react_native! is :flipper_configuration. You can set that to FlipperConfiguration.disabled and it will be disabled without having to use NO_FLIPPER.

[Lakston]

1. I'll look into that but not sure what part we're talking about exactly :) '
2. I did, I'll post the updated podfile
3. Yes I realised I could do that after posting my question!

[Lakston]

could it be that the folder structure of our app has an extra folder ?

our folder structure is like this:

main folder
   -> front
      -> src
      -> ios
      -> node_modules
      -> etc...

so it could cause problems with this maybe ?

# Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting
require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

our folder structure has not changed and everything worked in previous versions, thagts the only change linked to flder structure in 0.72

[Lakston]

Ok I found the problem, hopefully if someone ends up here this will provide some pointers:

the problem came from the RN post install not being run, this part:

  post_install do |installer|
    # https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end

I barely understand how RN works but it seems like config[:reactNativePath] not being run was causing the files not found problem

thanks @cipolleschi for your time, have a great day!

[cipolleschi]

Actually, in your podfile, you used to have:

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = 'NO'
  end
end

with no call to the react_native_post_install! function.

This is not really a React Native (RN) specific thing, but it is how React Native is integrated with Cocoapods (CP) .

CP is mainly used to install dependencies: you specify the dependencies needed in your project and CP downloads and install them, creating a separate Pods project and a workspace for your code to work with the new Pods project.

Then, there could be the need to customize the Pods project and the workspace. CP offers pre_install and post_install hooks to do these customisations.

RN exposes 2 functions:

1. use_react_native to streamline the dependencies that an app needs from React Native itself. In this way we can encapsulate the complexity of adding all the RN dependencies
2. react_native_post_install which is a post_install hook that is used to finalize the project and workspace with all the required flags and configurations. This function needs an installer object, so it has to be called in the post_install CP's hook.

Both functions must be called to have a properly initialized project.

I hope this helps to shed some light on how the framework works! :D

[fmorau]

@cipolleschi I have both use_react_native and react_native_post_install called properly, in right places. But still has this issue in both projects which uses ReactCommon/RCTTurboModule.h: react-native-quick-crypto and react-native-jsi-cpr I've tried to build with and without new architecture just to test - same issue. Also with new project it works properly somehow, but the difference is only the amount of Pods required in Podfile Do you have any other ideas what can I look at?

[cipolleschi]

@chelovekdrakon I'm sorry that this is happening.

Also with new project it works properly somehow, but the difference is only the amount of Pods required in Podfile

If it is working with a newly created project, I think that the issue is in the local configuration of the podfile or of the project.

What are the differences between the two podfiles?

Alternatively, I can investigate the issue if you can create a reproducer using this repo.

The more likely issue is that:

1. you are using statically linked frameworks
2. some header is missing from the header search paths

[fmorau]

@cipolleschi thanks a lot for your empathy and willingness to help!

I could solve the issue by updating .podspec file of react-native-jsi-cpr : I had to remove s.dependency 'ReactCommon/turbomodule/core' and add s.dependency 'React' to make it work

With react-native-quick-crypto I found that we were launching one script which was needed in the past updating .podspec to replace s.dependency 'React' to 'React-core', so it ended up with two 'React-core' dependencies, which was the issue

Thanks a lot! Hope it might help somebody in future with similar issues to double check .podspec of libs they have such issue with :)

[buscanopaul]

Hi @chelovekdrakon I have a same error while upgrading expo from 48 to 49 'ReactCommon/RCTTurboModule.h' file not found

I created a seperate issue about that. Can you walk us through on how you solved the issue? Here's the link expo#23809

[fmorau]

@buscanopaul sure! I've explained everything above. I had to update .podspec file of libraries I had issues with for them to load all dependencies needed

[cipolleschi]

@chelovekdrakon would you mind open PRs on those repository with the fixes so that newer releases of the libraries would not suffer from this problem?

[fmorau]

@cipolleschi I worry, that it might break compatibility, because it worked for me before upgrade...

[fmorau]

@cipolleschi but Sure, I will 👍 👍 You only know, when you "measure" :)

[cipolleschi]

the thing is that we made some changes between 0.71 and 0.72 in the cocoapods setup in order to support use_frameworks in the New Architecture. So it was expected that some libraries would break and need an update. 😉

[my5201314zwl]

I double checked that I disabled both hermes and fabric in my podfile:

    :hermes_enabled => false,
    :fabric_enabled => false,

so I dont know why turbomodules would be imported

node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/react/nativemodule/core/platform/ios/ReactCommon/RCTTurboModule.h:18:9 'ReactCommon/TurboModule.h' file not found

I'm running 0.72.1

    # https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb#L197-L202
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end

I barely understand how RN works but it seems like config[:reactNativePath] not being run was causing the files not found problem

thanks @cipolleschi for your time, have a great day!

how to do ?

Ok I found the problem, hopefully if someone ends up here this will provide some pointers: the problem came from the RN post install not being run, this part:

  post_install do |installer|
    react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end

I barely understand how RN works but it seems like config[:reactNativePath] not being run was causing the files not found problem thanks @cipolleschi for your time, have a great day!

how to do ?

my podfile:

require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported
prepare_react_native_project!


flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
  Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
  use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'AwesomeP1' do
  config = use_native_modules!

  flags = get_default_flags()

  use_react_native!(
    :path => config[:reactNativePath],
    :hermes_enabled => flags[:hermes_enabled],
    :fabric_enabled => flags[:fabric_enabled],
 
    :flipper_configuration => flipper_config,
    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."
  )

  target 'AwesomeP1Tests' do
    inherit! :complete
  end

  post_install do |installer|
      react_native_post_install(
      installer,
      config[:reactNativePath],
      :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
    __apply_Xcode_12_5_M1_post_install_workaround(installer)
  end
end

Hello everyone, we have update the react version to 0.72 (We use Xcode 14.2) and we get the same issue like you. this our podfile post installer script

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      config.build_settings['ARCHS'] = '${ARCHS_STANDARD_64_BIT}'
      if target.name == "React"
        config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
      end
    end
    if target.respond_to?(:product_type) and target.product_type == "com.apple.product-type.bundle"
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED'] = 'NO'
      end
    end
    react_native_post_install(
        installer,
        config[:reactNativePath],
        :mac_catalyst_enabled => false
    )
  end
end

but sadly we get this error

I see that the issue is already open but maybe someone had fixed it hopefully.

regards :)
