React-native-webview: Podfile React dependency?

[garrettm]

When I install this using cocoapods, I see:
Using React (0.11.0)

This is an old version of React, and the Cocoapod is deprecated https://cocoapods.org/pods/React
The old version appears to cause native build errors (types and function signatures/names have changed).

Should React be removed as a dependency in the .podspec?

It should not be removed, you cannot use cocoapods only for some dependecies and build react the way you used to. When you build react-native using cocoapods, you redirect it to your node_modules so that it takes the correct version. I'll write an article about that since many people are confused !

In the meantime please:
Remove the line containing react-native-webview from your profile.
Rename your podfile to podfile.tmp
Run react-native link react-native-webview
(It should link it the old way and not inside your podfile )
Rename your podfile back to normal
Run pod install

Enjoy :tada:
