React-native-firebase: v.5.6.0: Can't build in XCode 11 after upgrading to react native 0.62

[denisk20]

Issue

After upgrading to react native 0.62 I'm getting errors when trying to build the project in XCode 11:
'cstdarg' file not found
Could not build module 'Darwin'
Could not build module 'Foundation'
etc.

I'm using react-native-firebase 5.6.0 and can't upgrade at the moment since v.6 doesn't support notifications and a standalone library Notifee is not ready yet.

If you can reproduce the problem by cloning this repo and running this script, then we can reproduce it - if not then I'm guessing it's a local issue: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

You can see what it's doing in the comments, but it's basically a react-native "current stable" (I guess it would pull 0.62.0 now, but I'm personally using 0.61.5) and combining it with react-native-firebase v5.6.0 (which I am personally using, and helping maintain here)

Bottom line is it should work - I'm using it in production now. Make sure you've used react-native-clean-project to really nuke everything

Thanks @mikehardy , I haven't noticed the example generator repo. I have tried it on RN 0.62.0 and it builds fine. It was indeed a local issue, it appeared that we have an explicit Libraries/RNFirebase.xcodeproj subproject (I guess generated during the migration somehow). Removing it solved the current issue.

Glad that worked, and +1 on your avatar ;-). The number of ways things can go wrong is certainly always surprising...
