React-native-fcm: react-native run-ios failing

[ahmed1490]

I have no clue as to what the issue is related to

Edit: special thanks to @evollu for all the patience and help.
https://github.com/ahmed1490/igniteFCM example implementation for fcm can be found here.

This is https://github.com/infinitered/ignite 'ed example app

[ahmed1490]

I do have the libs linked and changes configured acc to readme

/Libraries

in Build phases

Appdelegate.m

Podfile

Podfile.lock

The filename of plist downloaded from console is different from what is mentioned in readme however: its called ios/GoogleService-Info.plist

[derdav3]

Any luck with this? facing the same..

I think that I have figured this one out.

• You need to add $(inherited) in Build Settings => Other Linker Files https://cloudup.com/czZy1ucd1Ta
• Also you need to include Cocoa Pods in your project Right Click => add Files to project and add ios/Pods/Pods.xcodeproj https://cloudup.com/cqkiHU-piMx

@gorangajic I quickly tried it with a fresh project and got these:

[evollu]

@derdav3 looks like the error is related to react itself?

[evollu]

@derdav3 @ahmed1490 looks like you are running with react-native cli? If so, try open .xcworkspace not .xcproject and run in xcode

[ahmed1490]

I am gonna try this @evollu and let you know

[dnish]

@evollu Just opened the .xcworkspace and tried to build the app, getting 8 errors:

@dnish is the build target your react native project?
can you find out what module is throwing this error?

[dnish]

@dnish Don't know if you got the edited post, the only file I can see is libReact.a. I'm using React Native 0.28. Build target is my RN app.

[evollu]

Well I don't get much information here. I assume you are seeing a project structure similar to mine.

Try pick target RNFIRMessaging and cmd+B to build the library to see if the library build correctly.

[evollu]

Perhaps I haven't run react-native upgrade for a long long time. let me upgrade and see
Since 0.26.0-rc, you must add -lc++ to the Other flags in the xcode project.
UPDATE: it is still working for me

[dnish]

I'll reset my project and try every step again, maybe I did a mistake.

[dnish]

@evollu The error happens directly after pod install, even without adding react-native-fcm. This is what I get if I execute install:

[!] The `xxapp [Debug]` target overrides the `OTHER_LDFLAGS` build setting defined in `Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-xxeapp/Pods-xxapp.debug.xcconfig'. This can lead to problems with the CocoaPods installation

I already added inherited to my building settings, but my build still fails. My final build errors are:

diff: /../Podfile.lock: No such file or directory

diff: /Manifest.lock: No such file or directory

error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

Just tried everything, clean the project and check the Pod path, everything is set fine.

[evollu]

Are you adding $(inherited) in Linking->Other Linker flags?

[dnish]

Yep, I've added it but it is still failing.

[evollu]

error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock.
can you update cocoapod to lastest and run pod install again? I remember the pod requires cocoapod>1 or something like that.

[dnish]

I've just installed it for the plugin yesterday, it is on version 1.0.1

[evollu]

It looks like a cocoaPods issue. All I can do is google for you...
try this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21366549/errorthe-sandbox-is-not-in-sync-with-the-podfile-lock-after-installing-res

[dnish]

@evollu Yeah thanks, that's all not working. I've reverted my project via git and the error occurs directly after doing pod install, even without any plugin added in the podfile. I'll figure this out the next days. So it has nothing to do with the fcm plugin.

[derdav3]

@dnish pls keep me updated if you found the solution... I'm sitting in the same boat

[evollu]

@dnish thanks for all the information.
BTW I'm running pod 1.0.0

[evollu]

hey guys, if you want to try without cocoapods, the nopod branch should work. Follow https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup last section to integrate frameworks
note: the official zip file is missing FirebaseAnalytics.framework, I pulled it from pods version and up it in the repo

[evollu]

new version has been pushed to npm. If you can't get pod to work, just import framework files

[ahmed1490]

I will try this tonight

[evollu]

let's figure this on gitter. should be configuration issue

[evollu]

@ahmed1490 @derdav3 are you able to give it another try?

[ahmed1490]

The repo read me is a bit unclear to me: FirebaseAnalytics.framework I already imported it from firebase site. Do I need to override with the project's version?

[ahmed1490]

Facing this.. while trying non-cocoapods approach

"react-native": "^0.28.0",

I added the libs:

and my app root.js

and Appdelegate.m

and did npm i --save react-native-fcm & react-native link

I also have the config file from console:

[evollu]

oh they added the missing framework file. I will update readme.

[evollu]

the error log seems to be cut off

[ahmed1490]

@evollu thats the last line of error log. Next line is just by usual bash prompt
edit: I restarted the server today. it worked
edit: I was running the wrong app. Still not working. Screenshot

[ahmed1490]

source code.
https://github.com/ahmed1490/igniteFCM/commit/5ba627eb505fffaeab0ab253861121af2caa6936

not sure if it helps..I commented all the fcm code in js.

/Users/aabbas/wo/native/igniteFCM/node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios/RNFIRMessaging.h:4:9: fatal error:
      'Firebase.h' file not found
#import "Firebase.h"

...

and is this related?
https://github.com/evollu/react-native-firebase-analytics/issues/5

[evollu]

I will pull your code and take a look

[evollu]

@ahmed1490 you need to add Firebase.h into your project
it is in the README of FCM zip

[ahmed1490]

oh yes! @evollu
I added the firebase.h now. The build succeeds but the app refuses to start. It opens and closes from splash screen. weird behaviour. Any hints?

even if i click the app it closes..

[evollu]

check your nslog
i got '[FIRApp configure] could not find a valid GoogleServices-Info.plist in your project.

[ahmed1490]

I appreciate you help so much!
how and where can I check this nslog? Also I added this now (i did add earlier. not sure where it disappeared). Still the result is same.

edit: for those reading. You must add the .plist file through the xcode! Dont copy it to ios/ folder

I feel this react-native run-ios works too fast for me. I dont know if its skipping something

[evollu]

open the project file in xcode, there is a log panel in the bottom.
there is nothing wrong with run-ios, just it abstract away to many things for you

[ahmed1490]

@evollu Thank you for walkine me through.

Is this the log panel you talking about?

And.. Yaaay I got the notification finally But one small issue..

i am not sure what is that "e".. but the body of the message is not delivered. Is it this way on ios?

what i got..

documentation says.. (// there are two parts of notif. notif.notification contains the notification payload, notif.data contains data payload)

but there is no notif.data

readme says.. the notification should look like

  "notification": {
      "title": "hello",
      "body": "yo",
      "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
  },

[ahmed1490]

edited comment ^

[ahmed1490]

That was a message label I was assuming as message body!

My mistake.. everything is good :D Thank you veery much!! appreciate it :)

[evollu]

cool

[ahmed1490]

Gonna try andriod tommorrow :)

[chaodoze]

fwiw, I ran into the same problem as @derdav3, and after googling and some trial and error, this worked for me:
1) open .xcworkspace
2) In xcode, under "Build Settings", make sure the target is Tests (not the app itself), search for "Other Linker Flags" and add "-lc++" to the Other Linker Flags settings

[ppsreejith]

In case someone else faces this issue, adding the GoogleServices-Info.plist file through the project navigator helped

[yolosaucisson]

Same problem with "can't found a valid GoogleService-Info.plist" :(

[mattijauhiainen]

Seems like just copying the GoogleService-Info.plist to the project folder is not enough. Instead you need to open the project in xcode, open the file-tree in the left, and then drag'n'drop the GoogleService-Info.plist to the project folder from finder 😶 Once you that xcode will popup a window, make sure you tick the 'Copy if necessary' option.
