React-native-firebase: iOS fails to build on react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase/RNFirebaseUtil.m compile step on Bitrise using Fastlane

[SanvirSovTech]

Issue

I am working on an older react-native project into which react-native-firebase was recently added. The iOS build runs fine locally using Xcode, but it fails during a react-native-firebase compilation step when run on Bitrise using Fastlane. The Bitrise build system is configured to be the same as my local environment.

Note: I've replaced the names and IDs with 'MyApp' and 'xxxx' in the attached snippets.

What was the full build error? It might be the same as an existing error here in cloud build systems (search for AppCenter in the open issues here I think)

[SanvirSovTech]

This is all the error output available:

The following build commands failed:
CompileC /Users/vagrant/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyAppdvouwrgiuhwdovuhwrvhwiobhpw/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/MyApp/IntermediateBuildFilesPath/RNFirebase.build/Release-iphoneos/RNFirebase.build/Objects-normal/armv7/RNFirebaseUtil.o /Users/vagrant/git/node_modules/react-native-firebase/ios/RNFirebase/RNFirebaseUtil.m normal armv7 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
(1 failure)
[12:27:46]: Exit status: 65

The build runs fine locally so I can't get the raw logging output.

I forgot to mention what I have already tried without success:

• clean build of the project locally to try and replicate the error locally
• deintegrate and reinstall Pods libraries
• install compatible react-native, react-native-firebase and Firebase iOS sdk versions
• use version of Fastlane used when the project was initially created

I have the same issue when updated from 5.4.2 to 5.5.5.

@SanvirSovTech Hi, I'm having the same issue may I know have you found a solution yet?

[SanvirSovTech]

@johnlim5847 I ended up removing react-native-firebase from my project and using the JavaScript Firebase SDK instead.

[johnlim5847]

@SanvirSovTech thanks for your reply! unfortunately, I can't do that due to I have to use crashlytics and remote config in my project.

@raymond4entrak Hi, may I know have you found a solution for this issue?

[mikehardy]

This may have nothing to do with your problem, but in some related reading yesterday I saw quite a few bitrise CI related issues where the filesystem was case sensitive or parent directories had spaces in the names, and that caused failures. Apparently the react-native build can have problems if you have capitals in some directory names but cd into the directories on a case-insensitive filesystem by a name with different casing (so the cd works because case-insensitive file system, but the names are unexpected now between cwd and build paths). May have nothing to do with anything, but these CI issues are pretty strange so who knows.

Hi @mikehardy, thanks for your reply. I have managed to solve it. The problem is I used to integrate react-native-firebase manually but I have migrated to pod because I want to update to 0.60.0 so I have some leftover setting in the project like the Search Paths and Firebase.h in Framework folder. So after I clean it up I still can't archive my app and then I search through the issues and found out that because I'm using use_framework! in my pod file so I deleted the use_framework! and the app can be archive without a problem.

Hence, my app on Bitrise can be built without a problem now!! (If you can archive the app on Xcode but fail at fastlane gym maybe you should check what scheme are you using in gym and your Xcode because of the build configuration)
