React-native-fcm: Error: Argument list too long: recursive header

[jaysig]

This error appears when I try to build my app. Any suggestions on how to fix it are appreciated.

Error:

Argument list too long: recursive header expansion failed at .../node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios/../../../ios/Pods/React/node_modules/resolve/test/dotdot/abc.

1. What version of RN and react-native-fcm are you running?
   "react-native": "^0.44.0",
   "react-native-fcm": "^10.0.3"

2. What device are you using? (e.g iOS9 emulator, Android 6 device)?
   iOS11

3. Is your app running in foreground, background or not running?
   I can not start my app. I can not get the app to boot after upgrading fcm, my old version also no longer worked. I used the Cocoa Pods install method.

target 'example' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for Stripe
pod 'Stripe', '~> 11.2.0'
pod 'CodePush', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-code-push'
# Pods for CodePush
  # Your 'node_modules' directory is probably in the root of your project,
  # but if not, adjust the `:path` accordingly
  pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => [
    'Core',
    'DevSupport', # Include this to enable In-App Devmenu if RN >= 0.43
    'RCTText',
    'RCTNetwork',
    'RCTWebSocket', # needed for debugging
    # Add any other subspecs you want to use in your project
  ]
# Explicitly include Yoga if you are using RN >= 0.42.0
 pod 'Yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'
 pod 'FirebaseMessaging'

# inherit! :search_paths

end

in RNFIRMessaging's project settings there are framework search path and header search path which includes /Pods with recursive, change it to non-recursive and try

[jaysig]

Just tried that and now it gives me the error of FIRApp.h' file not found

[evollu]

ok the problem is you have React in your Pod folder, which introduce too deep path.
You have to use Pod to use react native?

[evollu]

@jaysig try master branch, it should work for you now

[jaysig]

I cleaned up my podfile to this

pod 'Stripe', '~> 11.2.0'
# Pods for CodePush
  # Your 'node_modules' directory is probably in the root of your project,
  # but if not, adjust the `:path` accordingly

# Explicitly include Yoga if you are using RN >= 0.42.0

 #pod 'Firebase/Core'
 pod 'FirebaseMessaging'

inherit! :search_paths

Then upgraded to latest version of rn-fcm but it errors at RNFIRMessaging.h' file not found. I have it linked in the Link Binary with Libraries; so, any other suggestions?

I also was not sure what you meant by master branch. Was I suppose to download a file from the Github repo?

[evollu]

you can do npm install react-native-fcm@git://github.com/evollu/react-native-fcm#master

[jaysig]

Okay did that and now it says it can't find @import FirebaseCore; in RNFIRMessaing.h. Tried pod update but that did not fix it.

[evollu]

how does your Pods folder look like
mine looks like this

[jaysig]

I think it looks the same as yours

[evollu]

ldoes your project structure look same as the example project?

example project works fine with latest changes

[jaysig]

As far I can tell, Pods folder has everything it should. I have tried the Podfile two ways and thanks for your help so far.

can you create a public repo that has the issue? Can't reproduce here

[ghostrick]

I am having this problem, too.

Argument list too long: recursive header expansion failed at /Users/foo/dev/rn_app/node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios/../../../ios/Pods/React/node_modules/spawn-sync/lib/json-buffer.

[evollu]

@Ghostrick can you try the master branch or provide a repo with this issue?

[jaysig]

I ended up just reverting everything backwards, and it works now. Not sure what happened by thanks again for your help.

[Luckygirlllll]

I have the same issue with react-native-fcm, how to fix that?
