Issue

Cannot install on iOS when using abstract targets in pod file. I get this error:

pod install
Adding a custom script phase for Pod RNFBApp: [RNFB] Core Configuration

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: [!] Script phases cannot be added to abstract targets..

Yes, this is something only happening on v6, wasn't happening on v5.

Update: Now have to delete a few lines from node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/react-native.config.js:

Interesting. I also have an abstract target and it works for me but on v5 I have not tried v6. But I looked and I wonder if it's because you have the same target name twice? My abstract target name is unique

Or it could be a v5 / v6 different - I'm waiting for notifications so haven't ported yet

@gabrielbull when you say you deleted ios_config.sh, did you mean the script itself or just the scriptPhaseexport in react-native.config?

phurtad2 on 15 Dec 2019

Delete the file ios_config.sh, use patch-package to create a patch file that will delete it on every yarn install.

Still seeing this issue on version 6.2.0. And @gabrielbull when I try your fix and run pod install after deleting ios_config.sh, it gives me back this error:

Invalid `Podfile` file: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - /Users/johntzan/dev/project-name-app/node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app/ios_config.sh.

Also adding that I did not have this issue on v5 as I am just now upgrading to v6 but this is holding the process back.

johntzan on 15 Jan 2020

@Salakar this will bite me too - any idea why abstract targets aren't working?

I'd suppose the auto-magic in here needs to skip targets that are abstract? https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/master/packages/app/pod_config.rb

mikehardy on 15 Jan 2020

React Native CLI auto linking on iOS is adding this script based on the module config: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/master/packages/app/react-native.config.js#L8-L14

So ideally I think we should raise this issue on the CLI repo and maybe tag in Alloy or Orta.

Same fix as above for Crashlytics module when getting this error:

Adding a custom script phase for Pod RNFBCrashlytics: [RNFB] Crashlytics Configuration

[!] Invalid `Podfile` file: [!] Script phases cannot be added to abstract targets..

I've sent up a PR for the CLI that fixes this: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/982 which has now been merged.

Would appreciate if anyone can try it out, in the meantime I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. Thanks for the report
