React-native-firebase: RNFirebaseNotifications.h file not found

[mypark]

in iOS, I'm following the setup instructions for FCM messaging and notifications. I completed the instructions for messaging,

https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/messaging/ios

then got stuck in the instructions for remote notifications

https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/notifications/ios

However, after the first step importing #import "RNFirebaseNotifications.h"

I get the error from xcode saying RNFirebaseNotifications.h file not found

Am I missing a step?

Additionally, I'm getting a warning Sending 'messaging_notification_received' with no listeners registered when I send a test message using the Firebase console.

Have you added header search path in your XCode project? You can follow step 3 of this guide
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html#step-3

Check that you have $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase there for all of your targets that rely on it.

P.S. This should be added automatically when you run react-native link react-native-firebase, but never hurts checking. If it is there, check your Libraries folder and make sure RNFirebase is there. In general, I think that article I link should have an answer.

[mypark]

checked the header search paths and the entry is there, note that I can successfully import the other headers such as

#import <Firebase.h>
#import "RNFirebaseMessaging.h"

It's just RNFirebaseNotifications.h that seems to be failing

[chrisbianca]

@mypark Have you definitely installed v4? RNFirebaseNotifications was added in this version...

[mypark]

ah ok, I see that I have version 3.3.1 - that was the version installed when I did npm install around 2 weeks ago. I must have installed just as the upgrade happened. I'll upgrade now and read through the documentation.

I have the same issue. @IljaDaderko I have done what you said but It does not work for me. The library was linked but for some reason It did not appear in the Header Search Path. I added it, cleaned and rebuild the project, nothing happens, the issue remains.

Any ideas?

[leonelpena]

I have fixed it by adding to the Header Search Path the messaging and notifications paths, this way:

"$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase"
"$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase/notifications"
"$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase/messaging"

I am not pretty sure if this is right, because I do not see it in the docs. I installed all ios dependencies using pod install and I also used react-native link as the docs said. So, is this the expected behavior? or do I really missed a step?

[shafy]

@leonelpena for me the problem was that react-native link added it to to the Debug and Release lines, but not to their children Any Architecture | Any SDK. Adding the paths manually there resolved the issue. Not sure if this is a react-native or react-native-firebase issue...

I think in the header search paths it should be set to recursive for $(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase so the subdirectories will also be looked into for the headers.

[Vinhal]

In my case I had forgotten to do
yarn install

[matteocollina]

as @morksinaanab said, set _recursive_ and it works!

[surajj2223]

In my case as well, setting the search strategy to recursive worked !

i had to do this and work it for me

is this apply on RNFirebase.xcodeproject library haeder path or main project build settings header ?path?

This is still referring to the node_modules (defeating the purpose of using cocoapods). If you check in the react-native-firebase directory in node_modules, you will see there is a podspec:

Checking the podspec shows the name is "RNFirebase" - therefore this should be added to your podfile like so:

pod 'RNFirebase', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios'

This will now bundle the RNFirebase code into your Pods project and you can manage the dependencies using Cocoapods! :)

Cross-linking with #2163 as that's where I'm focusing knowledge to get a fix in for v5

[leotm]

pod 'RNFirebase', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios'

Just spotted this and wanted to clarify, for those now on RN 0.60.x you no longer want this in your Podfile or you'll get:

error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually: 
  - react-native-firebase (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-firebase")
This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via "react-native unlink <dependency>" and it will be included in your app automatically. If a library isn't compatible with autolinking, disregard this message and notify the library maintainers.
Read more about autolinking: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md

(Subsequently, react-native unlink react-native-firebase will remove it)

I faced the same issue after migration to a new version of firebase from 5 to 6. I did everything as it's written in firebase migration guideline . Now, xcode cannot find required modules . Please, help if you know what the reason is.

@YuryKorovko - v6 does not have notifications-anything, see the first pinned repo in the issue
