[fcaride]

Im trying to install this library in a new 0.60.0 react native project but i cant, im getting errors with react-native-swift (because is outdated) and if i dont install this library im getting a lot of errors:

@fcaride Getting the same error trace you've copied above. Did you manage to fix this, and how?

If this is still a bug, would suggest renaming this issue to mark it as a React Native 0.60 compatibility issue.

[fcaride]

No, i couldnt solve it yet ☹️

It seems that intermediate rc Versions of the player were set to build the examples and tests from react-native-track-player as well. Utimately failing on those.

Can you try

npm i react-native-track-player@next

which will install the latest rc10 which should then build properly

[fcaride]

Do i still need react-native-swift for the project? How would be the instructions for installing it on a new react project. React in the 0.60 version changed the react-native link command and does other things under the hood.

Thanks for the response

[mhabegger]

Sorry for the late reply.
Can you try the following, this worked for me:

• npm i [email protected]
• cd ios && pod repo update && pod install

react-native link is not necessary with RN 0.60.0 anymore. If you linked the libraries previously either remove all non RN pods or use react-native cli to create a new project and copy the Podfile over. Or start over with a clean 0.60.0 project.

Inside the Podfile the line

  use_native_modules!

imports all pods from the node_modules.

@huntie @fcaride still an issue or were you able to solve it with one of the latest RCs ?

[fcaride]

Yes i could fix it! with the last release just doing a npm install works (without react-native-swift)

Thanks

[mhabegger]

Perfect @fcaride !
@dcvz you can close this one.

@mhabegger I followed your steps but I am getting 25 compiler issues

Swift Compiler Error Group

@maamounapprise you should probably specify SWIFT_VERSION, please see #673

[mattiaefesto]

I can't use [email protected] because of a lack of documentation and also too many disruptive changes!
Is there any 1.x.x version that fix this error?

Thanks

So I'm really not sure which version of react-native track player is stable. The current version when we use yarn add react-native-track-player is 1.2.2, but the example repo of this library is using branch dev, I already tried to use 2.0.0rc but it's unstable and there are a lot of issues remaining in that version, so what should I do now, so desperate
