React-native-firebase: Build fail after upgrading to 8.x for crashyltics and app

[panda0603]

Issue

Describe your issue here

After upgrading to version 8.2.0 from 7.2.1 for @react-native-firebase/app and 8.1.2 from 7.1.5 for @react-native-firebase/crashlytics,

I am getting following build error:

line 2: [project root]/ios/Pods/Fabric/run: No such file or directory

I do understand it is a breaking change to upgrade to 8.x from 7.x since fabric was removed,
but I have no idea how to solve the build error.

I have already tried cleaning the build folder, removing npm cache, but no luck.

So v8 changed to using a completely different SDK for crashlytics, so the installation steps have changed:
https://rnfirebase.io/crashlytics/usage
You might just have to delete your pods.lock file, redo the installation steps (that also includes removing now obsolete references to fabric), then rerun pod install

[panda0603]

@andersonaddo thanks for reply. Just tried deleting the podfile.lock and re-do pod install, but same error. For installation steps, iOS installation didn't seem to be changed from 7.x, since it's about npm install and pod-install which I already have tried. How might I remove obsolete references to fabric?

[andersonaddo]

My bad.
Check the Build Phases.
The old installation steps had you add a build phase that referenced to fabric.

[panda0603]

is there any way to reference the old docs? At the moment I can only seem to refer the newest version of the documentation

[andersonaddo]

Here's a reference to the old docs:
https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/7f52366e220411b368bd285192492c36572c7ecb/docs/crashlytics/ios-setup.md
(I got it by going through the git history)

[panda0603]

Thanks!! managed to get it working by removing the reference. Have a good day
