React-native-intercom: Argument list too long: recursive header expansion ...

Created on 13 May 2018 · 10Comments · Source: tinycreative/react-native-intercom

As was suggested in comments of PR https://github.com/tinycreative/react-native-intercom/pull/163

Could we improve this by being more specific?
$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Pods/Intercom/

This library is not working for me not with manual install nor with pod based install (pod 'react-native-intercom', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-intercom') due to this error.

Is there some specific reason why this library has to search through everything in Pods?

Edit: btw. the problem, at least for me, is definitely when React is installed in Pods dir, there are just too many files to go through recursively as React brings a little something called node_modules into the play :)

Works fine on a fresh project with manual install, but as soon as i try to integrate this into an existing project that uses pods we get this issue.

Edit: Changing the Framework Search Paths in RNIntercom.xcodeproj fixes it.

Change this:

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = (
    $(inherited)",
    "~/Documents/Intercom",
    "$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/**",
    "$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Pods/**",
    "$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/Carthage/Build/**",
);

to this:

FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = (
    $(inherited)",
    "$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios",
);

Any update to this? Same issue as @mistenkt, have to run rm -rf ios/build virtually every time.

For those manual install this library, you can try to set FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS in RNIntercom.xcodeproj
as $(SRCROOT)/../Intercom.framework and delete others like "$(SRCROOT)/../../../ios/**"

A temporary solution is doing a lot of clearing and fresh building.
1) rm -rf node_modules
2) rm -rf ios/build
3) watchman watch-del-all
4) npm install
5) npm start -- --reset-cache
6) Open Xcode and hit cmd + shift + k
7) While still in Xcode, after 6 is done, cmd + shift + option + k, and confirm clean.

After doing this, I am able to successfully build/deploy. But this issue arises far too frequently.
