React-native-branch-deep-linking-attribution: Error when trying to add Branch with React in Podfile

[pyankoff]

Hi, I'm getting the following error when trying to follow instructions here

[!] Unable to find a specification for `Branch-SDK` depended upon by `react-native-branch`

Hi @pyankoff. It sounds like you're getting 2.0.0-beta.1 from NPM or using the master branch from the repo. These are the instructions for 2.0.0. Please see the testbed_native_ios and webview_example_native_ios projects in this repo for working examples of native iOS apps (one is Obj-C, the other Swift) with a RN component integrated. To run these apps on your own device, you just need to change the:

• bundle identifier
• dev team
• associated domains entitlement
• branch_key in the Info.plist

I think you'll have better luck with 2.0 than 1.1 because 1.1 has no support for routing links at the native level, which is probably what you'll be doing. A new NSNotification (RNBranchLinkOpenedNotification) was introduced in 2.0 (see both the examples above). I expect to release 2.0.0 to production within the next month. If you're just getting started, maybe this timing will work for you. If it doesn't, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate you.

I'm very interested in any and all feedback you may have. I've been spending time recently getting this to work properly on both iOS and Android.

Hi @jdee , thank you for quick reply!
Yeah, I'm using 2.0.0-beta.1. Using react-native link seems to work just fine.

Just looked at the instructions and projects you mentioned, my pod install error was due to the wrong path: "node_modules/react-native-branch" instead of "../node_modules/react-native-branch". Now pod install works too.

Thank you!

Hi,

I am having the same trouble whenever I try pod install

[!] Unable to find a specification for Branch-SDK depended upon by react-native-branch

I am using [email protected].

react-native link worked just fine.

Any idea ? Thanks in advance.

@vhoen did you figure it out?

@vhoen @benmcmaster it appears to be because the dependency in the podspec is Branch-SDK but branch's iOS pod is actually Branch.
