Appcenter-sdk-react-native: AppCenter/AppCenter.h file not found (rn 0.61.0-rc.3 - use_native_modules! & use_frameworks!)

[brunoreis]

Description

I get the following error message on xCode 11, trying to build on an iPad pro. The message here is:

.../node_modules/appcenter/ios/AppCenterReactNative/AppCenterReactNative.m:22:9: 'AppCenter/AppCenter.h' file not found

.../node_modules/appcenter/ios/AppCenterReactNative/AppCenterReactNative.m:22:9: Did not find header 'AppCenter.h' in framework 'AppCenter' (loaded from '.../Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/AppName-eesqqsqtvoykvmfvnihmjcoqltlf/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/appcenter'
````
If I go to that DerivedData folder, I don't see an AppCenter.h in there. Only appcenter-umbrella.h and AppCenterReactNative.h.  

I'm new to xCode, but I could note that:

There is a pod under `Development Pods` called `appcenter`, and another one inside `Pods` that's called `AppCenter`. The `AppCenter` one is where the AppCenter.h lives, but the podspec just mention the AppCenterReactNativeShared.framework

I have to use "use_frameworks!" due to a pod that requires it. But I don't know enough to say if it's messing things up or not. 

(rn is 0.61.0-rc.3, because I read it has support for use_frameworks! and appcenter is 2.3.0)




1. Which version of the App Center SDK are you using?
    2.3.0
2. Which OS version did you experience the issue on?

3. What device version did you see this error on?  Were you using an emulator or a physical device?
   iPad Pro
4. What third party libraries are you using?
   Bugsnag
  TextToSpeech
  fetch-blob
  RNCAsyncStorage

1. If you're developing for React Native iOS, run the following command and paste the output below: pod --version

1.5.3

1. Please enable verbose logging for your app using [MSAppCenter setLogLevel: MSLogLevelVerbose]; before your call to [AppCenterReactNative register]; (or any other SDK registration). For Android, use AppCenter.setLogLevel(android.util.Log.VERBOSE); before your SoLoader.init call (you will need to import com.microsoft.appcenter.AppCenter;). Include the logs here:

I think this does not apply, because I can't even run.

Hey @brunoreis ! While I set up new RN to reproduce, would you mind answering these questions:

Does this issue reproduce only on XCode 11?
If you go under Pods project and choose AppCenterReactNative target:

Do use see AppCenter under Build Phases > Dependencies?

[annakocheshkova]

Have also seen any errors/warnings during pod install?

[annakocheshkova]

And could you send your Podfile please?

[brunoreis]

Hi @annakocheshkova, I tested a fresh install here and got the same error. I think this will be easier for you to test.
1 - I installed it with:
react-native init AppCenterFrameworkTest --version 0.61.0-rc.3
added the team credentials and was able to build on the iPad using the cli and xCode 12
2 - I added the use_frameworks! to my Podfile and I was able to build it too.
3 - I added the AppCenter dependecies, cleaned the node_modules and installed it all again.

  "dependencies": {
    "react": "16.9.0",
    "react-native": "0.61.0-rc.3",
    "appcenter": "2.3.0",
    "appcenter-analytics": "2.3.0",
    "appcenter-crashes": "2.3.0"
  },

4 - I "deintegrated" the pods and run pod install, that did not complete and showed:

[!] The 'Pods-AppCenterFrameworkTest' target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries: (.../AppCenterFrameworkTest/ios/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenterAnalytics.framework, .../AppCenterFrameworkTest/ios/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenter.framework, .../AppCenterFrameworkTest/ios/Pods/AppCenter/AppCenter-SDK-Apple/iOS/AppCenterCrashes.framework, and .../AppCenterFrameworkTest/ios/Pods/AppCenterReactNativeShared/AppCenterReactNativeShared/AppCenterReactNativeShared.framework)
````
5 - to fix that I added this hack on the Podfile

pre_install do |installer|
# workaround for https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/3289
Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}
end

6 - `pod install` run ok. Then I tried to build on xCode and got that `AppCenter/AppCenter.h file not found` error

So, isolating things, the issue seems to be with the use_frameworks! Please notice I did not add any other packages or pods other than AppCenter and ReactNative default ones.

[brunoreis]

I don't see AppCenter listed in Targets:

[yestay90]

I dont understand, should we put
pod 'AppCenter/Core', '~> 2.3.0'
pod 'AppCenter/Crashes', '~> 2.3.0'
pod 'AppCenter/Analytics', '~> 2.3.0'
pod 'AppCenterReactNativeShared', '~> 2.3.0'
to pod file , I see AppCenter in the list of targets if to add lines of which I wrote above, but dont see it on the fileSystem on left side.

I have problem on AppDelegate.m
it doesnt see these import files

import

#import
#import

[brunoreis]

@yestay90, I think that the use_native_modules! entry on the pod file is enough. It will look on node_modules and import app center.

[annakocheshkova]

Hey @brunoreis. Indeed this is not working and looks like in new RN version, there's still no proper support for dynamic frameworks.
App Center RN SDK doesn’t support use_frameworks! today and the reason is latest RN doesn’t support iOS dynamic frameworks.
But there a quick workaround if you want to get it work here

[annakocheshkova]

@brunoreis just wanted to let you know that I opened an issue in react-native repo. Feel free to jump in!

[AnastasiaKubova]

I am closing this issue. Feel free to reopen if you feel like you need support.

[brunoreis]

@annakocheshkova, thanks. Sorry for the delay answering this. I was focused on a web task. We decided to wait a little to work on the new RN build.

I think the newest 0.61.0 version already supports use_frameworks!. (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.61.0)I was able to build with rc-3 at that moment. But was not able to build after adding the AppCenter libs.

I'll let you know when we get back to this task. Thanks a lot!

[JuanSeBestia]

Hi @annakocheshkova, I am working to solve this same problem with the flag use_framework!, any suggestion is welcome.

[Jamminroot]

@JuanSeBestia would you mind sharing step-by-step guide to repro? That would really help me investigate the problem. Thanks in advance

[JuanSeBestia]

@Jamminroot I have replicated it, in the installation of the Pods it is broken, you can read the steps in the readme of the git https://github.com/JuanSeBestia/RN-test

[arcesoj]

This worked in my case :

1. brew uninstall cocoapods
2. sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5

I am using :
React Native 0.60.4
Appcenter 2.4.0

https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/9214#issuecomment-539647080

[russelarms]

Downgrading cocoapods didn't fix "use_frameworks" issue for me. It is still not supported fully from react-native side.

[JuanSeBestia]

@arcesoj I need the las versión of RN 61.x :/

[freshedgarT]

I am experiencing the same incompatibility with AppCenter and use_frameworks on RN 61.3

[AnastasiaKubova]

Hi, @freshedgarT ! It still is not supported on RN.

[ntcong91]

+1 for react-native 0.61.4 - the same issue with use_framework! in pod file!

[brunoreis]

Hi @annakocheshkova. Are you sure it's not supported on RN? I was able to build the RN (>0.61) app with all the modules I had and 'use_framework!'.

Conflicts only happen if I try to add AppCenter. In fact, due to that, we had to remove AppCenter from our app on the recent build.

[Gustash]

This is a big issue for us as well. I had to remove AppCenter and AppCenterAnalytics from our most recent build, just like @brunoreis because we need 'use_framework!'

[vforvasile]

I solved the build issue by downgrading Cocoapods to 1.5.3 as a temporary solution.
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
then
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.5.3

[AdrianMrn]

This isn't really a solution to this issue, but I managed to upgrade all my modules to where I didn't need use_frameworks! in my podfile anymore, and now the SDK works.

[brunoreis]

if you want to use CodePush only, it seems that https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-code-push still builds on new RN versions with use_framewors!

[AndrewMorsillo]

I had to remove all AppCenter modules except for code push to get things working because of this issue.

[gla5001]

What is going on with this? Hitting same issue.

[yastrebovb]

Same...

[gla5001]

Any updates on this?

[annakocheshkova]

Hey, this is going to be addressed in one of the next releases.

[viemic]

In the meanwhile, are there any workarounds you guys came up with?

[russelarms]

@viemic you can try to apply changes from this PR: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-react-native/pull/789/files

[OritKedem]

Any new about this issue?
Having the same problem using mapbox with use_framework!

[guperrot]

This issue should be fixed in version 3.0.0.

[0x1bitcrack3r]

I am using
"appcenter": "3.0.1",
"appcenter-analytics": "3.0.1",
"appcenter-crashes": "3.0.1",
Still the same issue. I am getting following error
AppCenter/AppCenter.h file not found

RN Version: "react-native": "0.61.5"
cocoapods -v 1.5.3
Xcode Version: 12.3

I have tried all the workarounds mentioned above none of them worked for me.

[AnastasiaKubova]

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch with us!
It can be related to the cache issue. Could you please try to:

• rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/*
• rm -rf /Pods && rm Podfile.lock && pod install
• Build from XCode

If the issue will persist then could you please try to reproduce this issue on an empty project and let me know about the results?

[MatkovIvan]

@0x1bitcrack3r it's probably related to #875 - 3.0.1 pods do not pin version, so it leads to version conflict. Please update to latest (4.x) or to version with the patch for this issue (3.1.3)

[0x1bitcrack3r]

I have tried above steps in my current project still no luck. Will try checking with an empty project
