[🐛] 🔥 Can't run pod install --repo-update --project-directory=ios with react native 0.75.2

[NiharR027]

Issue

I am trying to migrate from react native 0.74.5 to 0.75.2 using https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.74.5&to=0.75.2.

Now all was good until I ran pod install --repo-update --project-directory=ios

It gives the below error:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Users/[USER_NAME]/Projects/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh.

 #  from /Users/[USER_NAME]/Projects/[PROJECT_NAME]/ios/Podfile:62
 #  -------------------------------------------
 #    $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true #https://rnfirebase.io/#altering-cocoapods-to-use-frameworks
 >    config = use_native_modules!
 #
 #  -------------------------------------------

Going to iOS and manually running pod install works fine. But the problem is running from the root directory, it just doesn't like it.

I have tried to delete node modules / cleaning yarn cache etc. this works fine with react native v0.74.5.

Not sure what is happening, at least it works when you run in the ios/ directory.

It does appear that this path is incorrect:

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Users/[USER_NAME]/Projects/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh.

It seems [PROJECT_NAME] is missing from path.

We're also seeing this behaviour after upgrading to 0.75, npx pod-install is a workaround but the problem is there.

+1

[roamifydev]

+1, i am not able to archive to xcode cloud due to this.

Error is:

[!] Invalid Podfile file: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh.

I have a problem on Xcode Cloud and this is my solution: bash /Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh chmod +x /Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh ci_post_clone.txt

Adding the linepod 'RNFBApp', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app' just before calling use_native_modules in Podfile fixed the issue in our case.

target 'your_app_name' do
  pod 'RNFBApp', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app'
  config = use_native_modules!
  ...
  use_react_native!(...)
  ...
end

UPDATE: We see no error on when installing pods, but this change removes [CP-User] [RNFB] Core Configuration build phase from the project.pbxproj! Thats not good.

[NiharR027]

looks like RN v0.75.3 has fixed the "install from outside the ios folder using --project-directory" issue: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.75.3

Will try and let you guys know

[tellodaniel]

I had this problem in Xcloud and fixed it with this

ios/ci_scripts/ci_post_clone.sh

#!/bin/sh

brew install node
brew install cocoapods
brew install yarn
yarn install

cd ../../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app
chmod 755 ios_config.sh

cd ../../..
cd ios
pod install

Can confirm that the issue is resolved with 0.75.3 react native. https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/7993#issuecomment-2362365530

I Got an issue In RNFBmessaging like declaration of 'RCTPromiseResolveBlock' must be imported from module 'RNFBApp.RNFBAppModule' before it is required and other issues

My podefile

def node_require(script)

Resolve script with node to allow for hoisting

require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p', "require.resolve( '#{script}', {paths: [process.argv[1]]}, )", dir]).strip end

Use it to require both react-native's and this package's scripts:

node_require('react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb') node_require('react-native-permissions/scripts/setup.rb')

rn_maps_path = '../node_modules/react-native-maps'

pod 'react-native-google-maps', :path => rn_maps_path

pod 'rn-fetch-blob', :path => '../node_modules/rn-fetch-blob'

platform :ios, '14' prepare_react_native_project!

setup_permissions([

'LocationAlways', 'LocationWhenInUse',

])

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 'Pingle_User' do config = use_native_modules!

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static $RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true

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

target 'Pingle_UserTests' do inherit! :complete

end

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, # :ccache_enabled => true )

installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS'] ||= '$(inherited) ' config.build_settings['HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS'] << '"${PODS_ROOT}/../../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon" ' config.build_settings["CLANG_ALLOW_NON_MODULAR_INCLUDES_IN_FRAMEWORK_MODULES"] = true config.build_settings['CLANG_WARN_QUOTED_INCLUDE_IN_FRAMEWORK_HEADER'] = "NO" end end end `

and also got RCTConvert issues in various packages.

am I missed anything?

@IndrakumarR with apologies, I can't really read your comment, the formatting is very difficult to follow and it doesn't seem to be asking a coherent question with an easily recognizable set of facts (https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask)

Further, it is on a closed issue, so I would not expect further support on this issue
