React-native-navigation: [v6 -> v7] library not found for -lReactNativeNavigation

[bneigher]

❓ Questions and Help

I just updated today from v6 to v7 and I can't build an Archive of my app anymore. Works fine when running the simulator tho.

I followed the required upgrade steps:

1. package.json

- "react-native-navigation": "^6.12.2",
+ "react-native-navigation": "^7.2.0",

1. Podfile

- platform :ios, '10.0'
+ platform :ios, '11.0'

1. AppDelegate.m

+ - (NSArray<id<RCTBridgeModule>> *)extraModulesForBridge:(RCTBridge *)bridge {
+  return [ReactNativeNavigation extraModulesForBridge:bridge];
+ }

- [ReactNativeNavigation bootstrap:jsCodeLocation launchOptions:launchOptions];
+ [ReactNativeNavigation bootstrapWithDelegate:self launchOptions:launchOptions];

When archiving, here is what I get:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/bneigher/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Dieta-dpawevnwpycqmeaqmceawnuenbty/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Dieta/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/ReactNativeNavigation'
ld: library not found for -lReactNativeNavigation

What I've tried:
pod deintegrate, delete podfile.lock, pod install
rm -rf /Users/bneigher/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
XCode: Clean Builds
Manually linking libReactNAtiveNavigation.a in build phases

Any ideas?

I have same problem... when building release version, i get -

can't locate file for: -lReactNativeNavigation
file: -lReactNativeNavigation is not an object file (not allowed in a library)

@uragecz I believe for me I managed to get it working. In addition to setting the Podfile platform minimum sdk version - make sure to set the:
Deployment > iOS Target Deployment to version 11 in Xcode Build Settings
