React-native-firebase: [v6] pod install doesn't install RNFBApp

[sercanov]

Issue

I was already using v5 and migrated to v6 by following the steps on docs

pod install --repo-update didn't installed any firebase pods. Autolinking doesn't seem to be working. So, it throws "Firebase module not found." on AppDelegate @import Firebase;

Also tried removing pods directory, podfile.lock and run pod install, pod update, pod repo update, no luck.

Using RN 0.60.3, RNF 6.0.0, @react-native-community/cli 2.9.0, cocoapods 1.8.0

After I updated react-native to 0.61.1 it resolved. Actually, react-native upgrade command updated the react-native and installed RNFBApp pods, amazing tool 😄

[arrygoo]

@sercanov Can you pls reopen this issue? How can it be fixed without upgrading RN to 61?

[sercanov]

@arrygoo upgrading to RN 61 seems easier than tracking this issue. It may be related to the auto-linking issue on RN 0.60.x

[cesar3030]

Upgrading RN to 0.61.1 did not solve the issue for me

[sercanov]

It seems there's something wrong with auto-linking in some cases. Reopening the issue

[FDiskas]

Did you follow the docs?
https://invertase.io/oss/react-native-firebase/quick-start/ios-firebase-credentials

In my case everything worked

[sercanov]

Yeah, I followed both quick start and migration docs when I had the issue. Guys, could one of you upload a reproducible demo? @cesar3030 @arrygoo

[zwenza]

I also had a problem but pod install --repo-update solved it in my case

[Ehesp]

I recently updated the docs to include a repo update, as it seems a lot of people hit this issue.

[cesar3030]

@sercanov I forgot to run yarn add @react-native-firebase/app. That's why I was having this issue

[sercanov]

@cesar3030 lol.

It seems everyone happy with pod install --repo-update I'm closing the issue.

[carmenchapa]

@sercanov pod install --repo-update did not work for me. I'm using rn0.61.4

[ahanusek]

^^
I have the same problem with RNF 6.2.0 and RN 0.61.5. Android app is successfully auto linked, but iOS somehow cannot detect required pods to install.

Suspect incorrect react-native auto-linking Podfile integration

[ahanusek]

@mikehardy Thanks for the quick response. Any tips on how fix this issue? Should downgrade to the other RN version or add manually 'Firebase/Core' and other FB libraries to Podfile?

[mikehardy]

There's a million ways a project can integrate incorrectly. I can't say how you need to fix your project.

For that reason (that fixing independent projects is open-ended use of time) I switched styles for helping - I provide a set of scripts (one each for RNFBv5+RN59, RNFBv5+RN60+, RNFBv6+RN60+) that does all the work in one script of making a new react-native app from template, integrating react-native-firebase, and making a sample app that proves it works.

Check them out, run the one that fits you and compare what it did with what your project looks like. The issue will be found in the difference
