Cocoapods: undefined method native_target during post install

Created on 27 Sep 2018  Â·  10Comments  Â·  Source: CocoaPods/CocoaPods

Report

What did you do?

Ran pod install right after creating a new React Native project and ejecting to Expokit.

What did you expect to happen?

Install all pod dependencies correctly.

What happened instead?

I got the following error during the post install process...

Generating Pods project
[!] An error occurred while processing the post-install hook of the Podfile.

undefined method `native_target' for

Downgrade instructions:

  1. sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
  2. say Y when it asks whether to remove executables
  3. sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.5.3

This API changed in 1.6.0.beta.1. It is not meant to be public but it has been but we offer no guarantee for it breaking.

Use installer.target_installation_results which contains all targets and their native targets that were created.

See https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/blob/master/lib/cocoapods/installer/xcode/pods_project_generator/target_installation_result.rb

Going to close as this is still available for you to change.

HELP NEEDED! I installed cocoapods -v 1.5.3, however, I'm still getting these errors. What should I do?

Would like to point out that you can make your Podfile compatible with the latest Cocoapods by making a few simple modifications:

The Podfile would look like the following:

installer.target_installation_results[0].each do |installationResultArray|
    targetName = installationResultArray[0];
    target = installationResultArray[1]

    if targetName == 'ExpoKit'
      target.native_target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= ['$(inherited)']
        config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] << 'EX_DETACHED=1'

        # needed for GoogleMaps 2.x
        config.build_settings['FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS'] ||= []
        config.build_settings['FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS'] << '${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks'
        config.build_settings['FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS'] << '${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks'
      end
    end
end

instead of using the pod_targets function which doesn't return a target with a native_target anymore.

Upgrading to the latest expo version (v33.0.0, react native v0.59.8) allowed me to use the latest version of CocoaPods.
🎉 😂

Note this won't work on Cocoapods 1.6 and later.
