React-native-image-crop-picker: Build failed, no such file libReact.a

[tianjianchn]

Hi @ivpusic , I have a problem when using this package in IOS. Pod install is successful, no warnings. But when I run my project(.xcworkspace) in xcode, an error shows:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/kw/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test-fohpnlfelwvgtiaczpjponpxpgyd/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/libReact.a'

[superandrew213]

@kiliwalk how did you fix it?

[tianjianchn]

@superandrew213 I did nothing essential and useful about this. It's weird.
But I could tell you what I did before working:

• Close xcode
• Open .xcproject, and goto menu File->Project Setting to see the Derived Data setting. (Nothing changed here)
• Open .xcworkspace

Hope these can help you

[thorbenandresen]

I had to add -lc++ to Other Linker Flags for my MyProjectTest target and everything worked again. This flag was already set to MyProject target out of the box.

[superandrew213]

Deleting derived data in File->Project Setting and restarting Xcode seems to do the trick

[chrise86]

I'm still getting this issue even after removing derived data, adding that linker flag and removing the workspace file and re-installing pods. Any ideas? 😕

After removing the derived data (and cleaning, both methods) I get the following:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/chrisedwards/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-dkunkoutwayvdrfwaifiyxrygrch/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libReact.a'

[chrise86]

After clearing derived data as mentioned above, then setting Build -> Architectures -> Build Active Architecture Only to Yes it clears the 20 errors above but I'm straight back to the initial:

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/chrisedwards/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-dkunkoutwayvdrfwaifiyxrygrch/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libReact.a'

I've noticed that the file exists, but is in fact in

/Users/chrisedwards/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyProject-dkunkoutwayvdrfwaifiyxrygrch/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/React/libReact.a

How do I get this to run with the correct location?

[chrise86]

So I just reset all changes (via git), cleaned and tried again and it started working... no idea why.

[superandrew213]

@chrise86 did you restart Xcode? After cleaning everything, restarting Xcode made it work for me.

[tianjianchn]

I can reproduce this problem in my project now:

1. See project name RNTest, open RNTest. xcworkspace, and select the target device to a simulator(say iPhone 6)
2. Edit the RNTest scheme(press CMD+SHIFT+< or Product->Scheme->Edit Scheme), change Build Configuration to Release
3. Build the project(from Product->Build), the error occurs!

After change the Build Configuration to Debug and rebuild, it's ok.

And after I check more cases(Build Configuration and target devices), only simulator with Release build configuration will cause this problem. I'm confused with that.

[chrise86]

@superandrew213 I restarted Xcode multiple, multiple times - it's THE go-to solution with Xcode 😉, but in this case it didn't work. I edited a load of stuff in Xcode to try and make it work, none of which did, then reset all the changes I'd made, cleaned (again) and it magically worked. Very strange

[superandrew213]

@chrise86 got the error again and this fixed it properly.

Go to your build phases and remove libReact.a from the linked libraries. Then add libReact.a but select this one:

libReact.a from 'React' target in 'Pods' project

[parkerdan]

@superandrew213, You're the best!

[anotherstarburst]

Cheers @superandrew213 ! Resolved that error, now onto the next :)

[peacechen]

After updating libReact.a in the linked libraries as per @superandrew213, I had to re-run pod install in my particular situation. Seems like these types of errors can result from various & sundry moving parts, usually involving a change to or addition of a native library.

[giangqaz]

@superandrew213
I cannot find libReact.a from 'React' target in 'Pods' project
what do i missing?

[raghunandanr]

I was facing the same issue as I had space one of the folder name. Once I deleted the space it started working for me.

[RichardLindhout]

@giangqaz Did you manage to find a solution?

[reneldegazon]

@ @giangqaz did you find a solution?

[dsemennyuk]

@superandrew213 Spasibo, bratan :)

Thanksssss!

Después de probar muchas respuestas anteriores, esta es la respuesta que resolvió el problema para mí:

1. Seleccionar proyecto de destino
2. Bajo fases de construcción
3. Seleccionar dependencias objetivo
4. Agregue la biblioteca que falta y compile
   y funcionó para mí. Esta respuesta fue dada por Ken Van

Espero que ayude a alguien

Thanks...

Same case, no error in debug but in the release, what is the solution?
