React-native-navigation: RNN Pod has not been added to Podfile

[Jay-study-nildana]

Issue Description

I get this message

RNN Pod has not been added to Podfile

if I try to add the pod manually, I run into this.

[!] There are multiple dependencies with different sources for `ReactNativeNavigation` in `Podfile`:

- ReactNativeNavigation (from `../node_modules/react-native-navigation`)

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

Step 1 - running this command.

npx rnn-link

Step 2 - this is the output

   If any of the steps failed, check the installation docs and go through the necessary steps manually:

When you're done, don't forget to update the index.js file as mentioned in docs!

Thank you for using React Native Navigation!

+1 got the same message

cd ios & pod install solves that

[jbesraa]

https://github.com/wix/react-native-navigation/blob/master/autolink/postlink/podfileLinker.js

here is the implementation

looks like the link function try to remove the podlink to the library unsuccessfully (makes sense as I dont think this is needed in latest RN)

@jbesraa

Thank you for the response. In my case, a direct usage of

cd iOS & pod install

did not solve the problem. I had to manually add the navigation library in the iOS project. my pod file ended up looking like this.

require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

platform :ios, '10.0'

target 'baribasicreact' do
  pod 'ReactNativeNavigation' , :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native-navigation'    
  config = use_native_modules!

  use_react_native!(:path => config["reactNativePath"])

  target 'baribasicreactTests' do
    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  # Enables Flipper.
  #
  # Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
  # you should disable these next few lines.
  use_flipper!
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

target 'baribasicreact-tvOS' do
  # Pods for baribasicreact-tvOS

  target 'baribasicreact-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end
end

and only then,

cd iOS & pod install

worked. I am putting the details here in case other newcomers like me run into the same issue. Ideally, it would be cool if (as you have explained, and I dont know, because, I am new to react), the link function stops the removal of pod link.
