React-native-firebase: FirebaseCore.h file not found when product archive is used

[victormidp]

Issue

I just finished creating an app with React Native, which has been working fine, without errors. Now that I want to use the 'archive' option for deployment, XCode shows the following error:
"/ios/Pods/Headers/Public/Firebase/Firebase.h:1:9: 'FirebaseCore/FirebaseCore.h' file not found"

versions:
"react": "16.8.3",
"react-native": "0.59.8",
"react-native-firebase": "^5.5.6",

I've tried all I've seen on similar issues, but nothing has worked so far.
And yes, I'm using xcworkspace.

After just working through something similar with someone else here https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/2283 I'm going to say your easiest bet is to do the upgrade to react-native 0.60.

If you really want to fight it you'll probably have to do some header copying or similar.

I demonstrate an rn59 app creation here - and it works fine through release - maybe it is illuminating? https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-rn59.sh

(note especially that when you do react-native link in rn59, you will want to make sure your Podfile is not in place, as that would cause react-native-firebase to be pod-linked instead of framework-linked, which is not supported in rn59 - my script does things in the right order so there is no Podfile when react-native link is executed)

Oh ok. I was trying to solve it without updating react native, since it had some breaking changes last time I did it. How hard would it be to fix it with rn59? I'm assuming it could be by moving the pod file during react native linking and then copying it back.

as @mikehardy said, check this out :) https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/2283#issuecomment-529988424

I guess you're using use_framework! in Podfile? Then you would need this.
