React-native-image-crop-picker: Getting build errors

[AlmogRnD]

Getting nothing but issues, I followed the installation guide but I keep getting different

errors

[ivpusic]

I just released a new version with updated installation instructions. If you follow step by step instructions from there, it will compile and run properly. https://github.com/ivpusic/react-native-image-crop-picker/releases/tag/v0.20.0

[AlmogRnD]

I did this but now I'm getting Lexical or Preprocessor issues
#import <React/RCTDefines.h> 'React/RCTDefines.h' file not found

Happing at #import "ImageCropPicker.h" will open a new issue

https://github.com/ivpusic/react-native-image-crop-picker/issues/635

[ivpusic]

can you show me you Pods file?

[AlmogRnD]

This is my entire pod file

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
 platform :ios, '8.0'

target 'ConstructionCloud' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for ConstructionCloud
  rn_path = '../node_modules/react-native'

    pod 'yoga', path: "#{rn_path}/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga.podspec"
    pod 'React', path: rn_path, subspecs: [
      'Core',
      'RCTActionSheet',
      'RCTAnimation',
      'RCTGeolocation',
      'RCTImage',
      'RCTLinkingIOS',
      'RCTNetwork',
      'RCTSettings',
      'RCTText',
      'RCTVibration',
      'RCTWebSocket'
    ]

    pod 'RNImageCropPicker', :path =>  '../node_modules/react-native-image-crop-picker'
end

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == "React"
      target.remove_from_project
    end
  end
end

[ivpusic]

the only difference is that I don't have use_frameworks! in my Pods file. I followed instructions from readme step-by-step and it compiled and runs without problems.

[AlmogRnD]

Let me try without frameworks

[AlmogRnD]

Now I'm getting

ld: 24 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[AlmogRnD]

This is the full error

duplicate symbol _OBJC_IVAR_$_ImageResult._data in:
    /Users/Almog/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ConstructionCloud-bcoecdtxeoikdpcgmgahscvuemda/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/RNImageCropPicker/libRNImageCropPicker.a(ImageCropPicker.o)

ld: 24 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[ivpusic]

maybe you linked it. Linking is only necessary if not using cocoapods. Try to unlink it.

[AlmogRnD]

Well I did run react-native link which I would have to do at some point for other packages so it shouldn't link this package. I did try to unlink it and I get the following error

~/Full-Time-Employment/Construction-Cloud/RnD/CCMobileApp(branch:w3.2.7*) » react-native unlink react-native-image-crop-picker Almog@Almogs-MacBook-Pro

rnpm-install info Unlinking react-native-image-crop-picker ios dependency
rnpm-install ERR! It seems something went wrong while unlinking. Error: Cannot read property 'podfile' of undefined

Cannot read property 'podfile' of undefined

[ivpusic]

react-native link without providing package name is not a good idea these days because many of third party modules are not playing well with react-native link, so I suggest to always link specific package. Cannot read property 'podfile' of undefined is something I see for the first time :/. Would be great if you can do some investigation what could be wrong here.

[AlmogRnD]

I'm not really seeing anything else that would hit at whats wrong, are you testing on the latest react version v0.54.0?

[AlmogRnD]

@ivpusic was to fix the Cannot read property 'podfile' of undefined I deleted the pod file then run the unlink command on the package added back the pod file and did pod install

[AlmogRnD]

But still getting
ld: 24 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

so it was not the linking

[ivpusic]

yes, I am using rn 0.54.0. Maybe open the project in Xcode, and check if react-native-image-crop-picker is still in Libraries folder. If yes, remove it. Also, check if libRNImageCropPicker is in Build Phases > Link binary with images, if yes, remove it.

[AlmogRnD]

Thanks working now

[hoscarcito]

Sorry to reopen but if the "link" is necessary for the Android build, what should we do?

[sahil290791]

@hoscarcito Just remove pod 'RNImageCropPicker', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-image-crop-picker' from Podfile and run pod install if you are going to use link command.

What if I need to use use_frameworks! Because of another pods?
I'm making a bridge for another SDK in Swift so I need to add use_frameworks

[ngothanhtai]

I have the same problem but upgrading to v0.20.1 and it works. I use with CocoaPods.

[r01010010]

This is a nightmare, I'm starting to think it was a really bad idea to trust in react-native, I've been the whole day with this but there's always a nightmare with libraries. :( by the time i fought with library issues in react native I think I could have done 50 apps in android and iPhone.

[musicode]

how to resolve it, I can't add any framework.

[musicode]

@ivpusic

can you help me? how to resolve #import <React/RCTDefines.h> 'React/RCTDefines.h' file not found, even though I only added one line:

use_frameworks!

[letssave]

Hey @ivpusic,

Any news on the issue ? Did you resolved it ?

Thanks!

[edreyyo]

+1 Any updates about using this package with use_frameworks!, @ivpusic? This is basically the only cross-platform RN image picker package since react-native-image-picker is no longer maintained.

[hahtml]

Is it possible to install the package manually for ios?

[edreyyo]

@hahtml Apparently so, but the instructions are unclear ("Drag and drop the ios/ImageCropPickerSDK folder to your xcode project" -- but to which folder in the Xcode project?) and extra steps need to be followed before releasing a production build.

It's a shame as it looks like a lot of effort has been put into this package.
