React-native-firebase: RN 0.60 issue with Linking RNFirebase

[eggybot]

Hi, recently I tried installing RN v0.60 (fresh install). When I'm Linking RNFirebase v5.5.4 this error show's up.

inntro:ztestapp eddie$ react-native link react-native-firebase
warn Package react-native-firebase has been ignored because it contains invalid configuration. Reason: Unknown option dependency.platforms.android.buildPatch with value "" implementation project(':react-native-firebase')"" was found. This is either a typing error or a user mistake. Fixing it will remove this message.
error Unknown dependency. Make sure that the package you are trying to link is already installed in your "node_modules" and present in your "package.json" dependencies. Run CLI with --verbose flag for more details.

Please note that this issue is happening when I'm trying to execute this command react-native link react-native-firebase to the project.

This error show's on my new installed project. Is there any compatibility issue from the latest React-Native v0.60?

As far as I know RN v0.60 has breaking change connected with integrating native packages so probably RNF 6.x will be compatible with newest version of RN.

@eggybot did you find any solution to use FIREBASE 5.5.4 with RN 0.60.0 ?? I'm having this same problem with a new project I'm starting ... if I find something, I'll notice it here too!

[jaskeerat789]

RNFirebase is working on this issue
refer https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/2194

[zico4reel]

Hi guys, I've being able to get a solution for it, all you need to do is download this file react-native.config.js from this repo https://github.com/zico4reel/React-Native-Firebase-implementation-fix and place it in the react-native-firebase directory which is inside your node_modules worked like a charm for me when I wrote it, So I felt I should share it for others as well

[Salakar]

Hey all, v5.5.5 has been published with https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/pull/2335 in it which should have fixed this issue, please give it a go.

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong: autolinking should add pod 'RNFirebase', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios' to podfile automatically, and with 5.5.5 it doesn't

[eggybot]

@fisherwise it should add/auto-link in the pod for v5.5.5

[fisherwise]

@eggybot Thanks for reply! In my case it didn't.
My steps:
yarn add react-native-firebase@latest
cd ios
pod install
Add pod 'Firebase/Core' and other modules
pod install
There's no pod 'RNFrebase'
yarn react-native run-ios
App exits when launched

edit: also configured AppDelegate.m

[eggybot]

@fisherwise did you run this command react-native link react-native-firebase?

[fisherwise]

@eggybot no. I suppose it would be autolink. https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md
update on my case: autolink doesn't add pod to Podfile but somehow it works

[creative-git]

did u manage to make it work with android ?

[mikehardy]

@creative-git - posted this elsewhere - but this definitely works with RN60+Android - you can see the steps it performs https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

[ptupi]

Still getting this ... RN60 RF5.5.4

[mikehardy]

@ptupi closed issue, if you're still seeing the error post a new issue following the template with all information required to troubleshoot - also note that since I have posted a demo that shows it working, it can't be reproduced according to current versions and documentation, so I'd triple-check your integration to make sure everything is correct

[ptupi]

@mikehardy Thanks for the attention.
I've ran: _yarn add react-native-firebase_
Then: _react-native link --verbose react-native-firebase_

And this is what I've got:
_info Linking "react-native-firebase" iOS dependency
debug Reading C:\Users\xx\Documents\xx\sanghaapp\iosPodfile
error Linking "react-native-firebase" failed._

Any thoughts?
