Hi @swapneeld,

If you are using CocoaPod in your project we strongly recommend the automatic integration of the SDK instead of the manual integration.

If you still want to stick with your manual integration then there is probably a linking issue in Xcode with the native App Center iOS frameworks. We'll double check that the AppCenter framework is correctly linked in your app Xcode:

• Select your app target, click the "General" tab, expand "Linked Frameworks and Libraries"...you should see AppCenter there.
• Click the "Build phase tab", expand "Link Binary With Libraries"...you should see AppCenter there.
• Click the "Build Settings" tab, Look for the "Framework Search Paths" setting...the path there should point to where the AppCenter.framework file is on your repo.

Let me know the status of your integration.

Hi @clpolet
I have tried Automatic integration of SDK.
I see below error.

THIS is my xCode Integration ..and having 'AppCenter/MSAppCenter.h' file not found

import after using CocoPods

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Hey @swapneeld,

This looks like a local caching issue to me. Can you try this?

rm -rf ~/.rncache
react-native run-ios

[swapneeld]

@TroubleMakerBen no it is not getting resolved. Still Same error. I have pinged you on Skype from my alias. can we connect to get this issue resolved please

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

@swapneeld I've pinged you, I need access to your project to understand what's going on as we can't repro this with our sample projects.

[erwan-lcs]

@swapneeld I struggled with the exact same problem I fixed it like this:

1. Close XCode
2. Stop Node Bundler if running
3. Go to your project folder and run yarn remove appcenter appcenter-analytics appcenter-crashes ...
4. Now run again yarn add appcenter appcenter-analytics appcenter-crashes ...
5. Then react-native link
6. Reopen XCode
7. Clean Project
8. Build Project

And then miracle ! It compiles ! At least for me...
Hope this helps

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

I'm closing this issue as we haven't heard from you. Feel free to get in touch again here (reopen the issue) or get in touch through Intercom (blue button in the AppCenter portal).

[spencewine]

@TroubleMakerBen I'm running into this issue as well. I did the automatic linking and everything seems to be in the right spot in the xcode project. I've also followed @erwan-lcs method. Any ideas what would be causing this?

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

@spencewine You are mentioning the xcode project, are you sure that you opened the workspace instead of the project?

[spencewine]

@TroubleMakerBen sorry, I meant the xcode workspace, not project, my bad.

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

@spencewine Thx for confirming. We often see that people opening the Xcode workspace but the project.
Now about your issue. I get that you are running into AppCenter/MSAppCenter.h' file not found when you are trying to compile your project but apart from that, it's really hard to understand which steps you tried/didn't try, which SDK version you are using, which npm version, etc.

Can you describe provide us with more informationl here or through our Intercom – once you log in on the App Center portal, there's a blue button that will connect you with us.

Best,
Benjamin

[clytras]

Hello. I get the exact same error when I try to build the iOS RN project at the https://appcenter.ms, but I'm not getting it when I build it on my local machine! The git repo is up to date with all files commited and pushed. I just removed the cocoapods from the git repo because it was a PITA to keep syncing the framework pod files. I'm reading the docs but I can't find any extra steps to install the Pod files when building at https://appcenter.ms. Will update here if I find a solution.

[dhei]

Hey @clytras,

Just want to check have you checked in Pods folder into git. If Pods folder is not checked in, you might see this error when building in App Center portal but not locally.
Btw, we use this GitHub repository for SDK specific issues. In case you have an issue with App Center Build, please use the blue intercom chat button at the bottom right corner of the portal to contact our support.
Thanks.

[clytras]

Hello @dhei,

Yes, I finally got the Pods directory back to git and the problem solved, App Center compiles everything and the process finishes successfully now, thank you.
Yes I know this is about the SDK specific issues, I just commented here because I was getting the exact same error.

My problem is now solved, thanks again.

[duytq94]

Hi, for this error, follow main instructions and in my case, I put these code at the top of Podfile

pod 'AppCenter/Crashes', '~> 1.12.0'
pod 'AppCenterReactNativeShared', '~> 1.11.0'
pod 'AppCenter/Analytics', '~> 1.12.0'

and run pod install again, then it works.
Seem Microsoft doesn't mention about config at the podfile in their document.

[guperrot]

The pods are added or updated automatically by running react-native link, that is why the docs are not mentioning it.

[duytq94]

@guperrot seem it doesn't add them, at least in my case.

[guperrot]

@duytq94 If you have repro for that case please file a separate issue with the necessary details so we can look at the issue and fix it.

[AdamZaczek]

We are also facing this issue. It seems to appear on x86-64 machines if that makes any sense. I had no issue getting everything running on a new Macbook but we could not make it work on Macbook Airs.

[MatkovIvan]

@AdamZaczek There are a few issues mentioned above. I'm really not sure which one you have. Also, the original one was closed due to a lack of response with details for reproduction/investigation.
Please open a new issue and fill out the template.
