[matthias-pichler-warrify]

Issue

After upgrading both @react-native-firebase/app and @react-native-firebase/dynamic-links from 0.4.3 to 0.5.0 the command bundle exec pod install would exit with [!] Unable to find a specification for RNFBApp depended upon by RNFBDynamicLinks

Hmm not sure on this one and why it'd be happening, the tests project we have is using this in the same way you are - could you let me know what pods version you're using?

[jarekbb]

I have a similar problem with @react-native-firebase/perf. Update from 0.4.3 to 0.5.0. Pod version 1.8.0.beta.2. Everything worked well up until this update.

[Salakar]

So confused as our tests project is linking fine using RN auto-linking; but am looking into it, will report back

[Salakar]

Could someone paste a full copy of their pod install logs?

[jarekbb]

Here you are

[Salakar]

Thanks @jarekbb - your issue is different to this one but I'll work on a fix for that too - will still need logs for the other issue to help debug it

[Salakar]

@jarekbb - v0.5.1 is now up with the fix in for your issue, may have also resolved your issue @Matthias-Pichler - please confirm

[jarekbb]

@Salakar Version perf 0.5.1 works! Thank you for the quick fix. :-)

[redpandatronicsuk]

I had a similar error as above and 0.5.1 seems to fix that. However, I get this error now:

[!] The 'Pods-myditation' target has transitive dependencies that include statically linked binaries: (FirebaseAuth, FirebaseCore, FirebaseCoreDiagnostics, GoogleDataTransportCCTSupport, GoogleDataTransport, FirebaseInstanceID, FirebaseDatabase, FirebaseDynamicLinks, FirebaseFirestore, FirebaseFunctions, FirebaseMessaging, and FirebaseStorage)

[Salakar]

@redpandatronicsuk are you using use_frameworks! in your podfile by any chance?

[redpandatronicsuk]

Yes I am. I think I have to use it for lottie to work.

[mikehardy]

I was under the impression use_frameworks was broken in RN60 and you'd need to either do the "I know what I'm doing" manual setup in RN59 or move to RN61 (which is still in release candidate phase but should go general release this week)

[Salakar]

I was under the impression use_frameworks was broken in RN60 and you'd need to either do the "I know what I'm doing" manual setup in RN59 or move to RN61 (which is still in release candidate phase but should go general release this week)

Correct! Initially, on v6 we had all RNFirebase Podspecs as static_frameworks to support use_frameworks then RN60 came along and broke support again so we had to revert 🙈 don't think it's fixed until RN61

[redpandatronicsuk]

@mikehardy I am using RN61.0-rc.3
@Salakar When I remove use_frameworks! I no longer get the error message

Thanks for your quick replies :)

[Salakar]

@redpandatronicsuk feel free to locally patch-package to re-add support for it locally as you're using RN61; you just need to change this line to true for each of the RNFirebase packages you're using: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/a2f0fd663837c7f02fc153ce6873b9d0416136aa/packages/storage/RNFBStorage.podspec#L29

[redpandatronicsuk]

@Salakar thanks, I'll try that out later.

You have either:
 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update` or with `pod install --repo-update`.
 * mistyped the name or version.
 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

Note: as of CocoaPods 1.0, `pod repo update` does not happen on `pod install` by default.

[Salakar]

@Matthias-Pichler looks like auto-linking is not picking up the app module, you can see it's not listed in the Detected React Native module pods for ... log line - can you confirm it's in your node_modules directory?

[matthias-pichler-warrify]

I noticed this too but yes there they are

[matthias-pichler-warrify]

when starting the bundler this warning appears as well with 0.5.0 and 0.5.2

warn Package @react-native-firebase/app has been ignored because it contains invalid configuration. Reason: Unknown option dependency.platforms.ios.scriptPhases with value "[{"name":"[RNFB] Core Configuration","path":"./ios_config.sh","execution_position":"after_compile"}]" was found. This is either a typing error or a user mistake. Fixing it will remove this message.

[Salakar]

@Matthias-Pichler Ah ok, that makes more sense, could you add the latest version of the @react-native-community/cli package to your npm dev dependencies and yarn/npm install.

scriptPhases support was only fixed in version 2.9 of the CLI and I can see you're on 2.0.1

[matthias-pichler-warrify]

@Salakar ok pod install works now after upgrading the cli but the bundler warning persists
