React-native-firebase: Can't build release iOS version - error: linker command failed with exit code 1

[thedc89]

I'm struggling really hard with building the app under release schema in Xcode. Finally, the last error that occurs looks as follows:

http://i65.tinypic.com/35cisn9.png

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/DC/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/pagarony-gttspckltgehqjbmapfbkdfpuwlb/Build/Products/Release-iphoneos/GTMSessionFetcher'

ld: library not found for -lGTMSessionFetcher
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 

I suspect this issue might come from Firebase. Has anyone here encountered such issue?

Note that it does not occur when in debug mode.

@thedc89 which error are you getting? This issue, or this other one you opened? https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/808

[thedc89]

@chrisbianca this one was the first I got, after a couple of cleans and other tricks found in other issues I managed to silent this error for a while, but afterwards it showed up again. Not sure which error is called first though, this or #808 so I decided not to close this issue until it's fully resolved

[thedc89]

For now, I managed to solve it by running pod deintegrate and pod install1

Closing the issue

[thedc89]

The issue occurs again, pod deintegrate and pod install do not solve it anymore

[yezarela]

@thedc89 have you found a solution?

[thedc89]

@yezarela Unfortunately not. Are you facing the same issue?

[evanjmg]

pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'
pod 'React', :path => '../node_modules/react-native', :subspecs => ['DevSupport'] work?

[thedc89]

@evanjmg When I run pod install I get

[!] Unable to find a specification for yoga (= 0.53.3.React) depended upon by React/Core

[evanjmg]

sorry forgot to add yoga in pod pod 'yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga'

[yezarela]

in my case, I use fastlane/gym to package a release of the app and found that I need to update gymfile to use workspace instead of project in order to include pod files.

[thedc89]

@evanjmg Now I get

ld: library not found for -lPods-pagarony
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

pagarony is the name of project.

What worked for me was to add this https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/294#issuecomment-370669509 into my pod file.

After you do that first apply these commands:
1. rm -rf ios/Pods.
2. rm ios/Podfile.lock.
3. pod install

You can also try unlink and re-link the library and install pods again if these do not work.

[chrisbianca]

We've not heard much on this for a while, so I'm going to assume it's been resolved as part of the header changes in v4. Please let us know if this is not the case after updating to v4.

[andrewkslv]

Don't forget to close xcode before running pod install. After that open your project with .xcworkspace.

[thedc89]

The problem occurs only when node modules for some other libraries are linked in Podfile. After I added all other libraries manually and do not run react-native link, it's all fine

[Dimon70007]

after i removed all pods from project and manually linked all dependencies project has built successfully.
