React-native-navigation: 'React/RCTRootView.h' file not found after detaching from Expo

[James2516]

Issue Description

I created a new project with expo and detached it.

When I try to run the iOS project in XCode, it gives an error

'React/RCTRootView.h' file not found

If I create a new project with react-native init instead, I'm able to build with react-native-navigation successfully. Why does it fail with expo?

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

https://github.com/James2516/expo-native-nav
Run npm install and try building the iOS project in Xcode.

Or start a new project:

1. exp init
2. exp detach
3. yarn add react-native-navigation
4. react-native-link
5. cd ios && pod install

I have tried adding React to build target

you can not use wix rnn on expo. please react-native init!

@quy1403 I need to use some expo libraries. You can use native libraries with Expo after detaching. See https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/detach.html

Hi @James2516

Did you eventually fix this? If yes, how?

[James2516]

Didn't manage to fix it, so ended up not using this library.
