The same thing is working fine on Android, but I am getting this issue on IOS only.
I tried "npx react-native-clean-project --remove-iOS-build --remove-iOS-pods" also
but nothing works.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi @al-shivani, look at https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/issues/344 and https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/issues/343

This is due to use_frameworks! which works terribly with Cocoapods in RN. Only link core (RNPermissions pod) and try this workaround: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-permissions/issues/348#issuecomment-541423154

[al-shivani]

Hi @zoontek
I followed your comment but still getting the same issue.

[zoontek]

@al-shivani Then unlink the core too and drag and drop RNPermissions.m & RNPermissions.h in the same folder.

[dillonhafer]

I was having this same issue on RN 0.61.2 with use_frameworks!. I was only using the motion permissions, so I added the 4 files to a Permissions folder:

RNPermissions.m
RNPermissions.h
RNPermissionHandlerMotion.m
RNPermissionHandlerMotion.h

and that fixed it

[zoontek]

@dillonhafer It's a workaround, I'll add it to the README until I find a way to resolve these headers when using use_frameworks! 😕

[al-shivani]

Hi @zoontek
This works like a charm, thank you so much for your time & efforts.

[computerjazz]

After many days and countless build errors, this is finally working (RN 59)! If you've manually linked, remember to unlink that .a file in Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries or else you'll get

ld: 2 duplicate symbols for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[ethanyuwang]

@zoontek does this workaround work for RN 0.61? I tried it but got this error:

[MariShielaFurio]

@al-shivani Then unlink the core too and drag and drop RNPermissions.m & RNPermissions.h in the same folder.

Hi, may i ask what do you mean by "unlink the core too"? sorry newbie here.

[MariShielaFurio]

i fixed mine by
- removing : RNPermission in libraries also in Build Phase.
+ Adding : (your plug in) for me RNCalendarEvents in libraries
Note : don't add RNCalendarEvents.a in build phase.

i hope it helps.

[StevenHarlow]

I have run all these suggestions and I'm still getting this issue.

React Native 0.59
I'm using use_unimodules!, not use_frameworks!

[mikehardy]

@StevenHarlow that's Expo, you might look to them for support.

I temporarily had unimodules integrated in to my app just now and I can say react-native-permissions still worked, so I'm not sure why it didn't work for you but it's a complicated integration.

Either way, it didn't break react-native-permissions so I don't think it's a problem with this module

[emil-alexandrescu]

@computerjazz I have same issue with you. Which .a file did you unlink?

[Marcos1305]

I was having this same issue on RN 0.61.2 with use_frameworks!. I was only using the motion permissions, so I added the 4 files to a Permissions folder:

RNPermissions.m
RNPermissions.h
RNPermissionHandlerMotion.m
RNPermissionHandlerMotion.h

and that fixed it

Fixed for me using camera permission. Thank you

[pedromelo98]

Hello, I am facing the same issue but I'm not using cocoapods in my project, is it possible to fix without pods? Could someone help me please?

[mikehardy]

@pedromelo98 I don't think avoiding pods is viable at this point as RN60+ is entirely pods based and has been out more than half a year - similar to AndroidX at some point one has to move as all new development (and troubleshooting) in modules like this is based on it. If it's not possible at all I'm not sure what to do except maybe try the last major version of this package (1.x)

[zoontek]

@pedromelo98 You can drag and drop files, like @dillonhafer said.

[pedromelo98]

@zoontek @mikehardy thanks for the help guys, I will try to migrate to pods, it is an old project that was using rn 0.58 I think is better if I just upgrade everything.

[mikehardy]

If it's from back then you may not be aware of upgrade-helper -- https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/ - I don't think there is anything I can say that will make the final jump from rn0.59.10 to rn0.60.0 easier, but using upgrade helper step by step does make things much easier than it would be. Good luck (and after 0.60 it's really easy, 60-61-62 were all small project changes in my opinion, but with good features)

[pedromelo98]

@mikehardy Thanks a lot! It will help me!

do you have the project structures of the permissions folder ?
