Description

My react-native init Build failure with ANY new project. I made a new project called TestRN which seemed to go fine until i tried to build it and get the typical welcome to react native screen.
On: react-native run-ios I got the error above. I uninstalled and reinstalled react native, node, watchman and killed all processes on port 8081.

Please help me fix and understand what is going wrong.

Reproduction

https://github.com/RBazelais/TestRN.git

Solution

I have no idea

Additional Information

• react-native-cli: 1.3.0
• react-native: 0.39.0
• watchman --v 4.7.0

• xCode: 7.2

• Platform: IOS

• Operating System: MacOSX Yosemite 10.10.5

@RBazelais could you try to run it from Xcode directly?

[muellermichel]

Same xCode, same OS, installed node/npm/react native just today, same error. Happens both in CLI and when running the build in xCode.

Here is what I get in xCode:

[MyProject]/node_modules/react-native/React/Base/RCTPlatform.m:26:10: Use of undeclared identifier 'UIUserInterfaceIdiomCarPlay'; did you mean 'UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad'?

Seems like a compatibility problem with xCode 7.2?

[muellermichel]

Alright, I got it to work. Simply patch it by removing lines 26 and 27 from node_modules/react-native/React/Base/RCTPlatform.m:26. Then try and build again. No idea why that enum value was not defined, according to Apple it's SDK 9.0 which should be supported on XCode 7.2.

I also tried changing the project build target to 9.2, but that didn't help.

[carlosvillu]

Same error and same solution. :)

I resolved it with the same solution. But the simulator seems be Pad, coz the program goto the default branch. so I modified it:

    default:
      //  return @"unknown";
      return @"phone";

[muellermichel]

@liuguanyu
I don't quite get why that would be needed. If you look at the source file here, it looks like the UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad case is still defined, my patch only removes UIUserInterfaceIdiomCarPlay. Are you sure you removed the correct lines in the correct file?

Just to avoid any confusion, I've added my patched version here: https://github.com/muellermichel/react-native/blob/a831df048f0e8c8645663cbc804c7ea25a09bc3c/React/Base/RCTPlatform.m

I'm not creating a pull request on this since it may break CarPlay functionality that supposedly should work on newer platforms. A full patch would include a way to figure out which enum flags are being supported before binding to them. Is carplay something that's supposed to be supported by react native? If not it could just be fully removed IMO.

[liuguanyu]

@muellermichel

Yes, We removed same lines. In XCode 7.2, the removed lines causes compile errors.

I guess this may be a bug of rn.

[muellermichel]

@liuguanyu
It seems we have a slightly different setups. What's the compile error you get after the patch?

[liuguanyu]

@muellermichel

After removed these lines, I can compile the code.
but, the simulator window is so big.

so I edit it like following

static NSString *interfaceIdiom(UIUserInterfaceIdiom idiom) {
  switch(idiom) {
    case UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone:
      return @"phone";
    case UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad:
      return @"pad";
    case UIUserInterfaceIdiomTV:
      return @"tv";
//    case UIUserInterfaceIdiomCarPlay:
//      return @"carplay";
    default:
//      return @"unknown";
      return @"phone";
  }
}

[muellermichel]

Curious. So it looks like "idiom" is something other than these three provided ones. I'm thinking it depends on the device selection. What does it show there for you? (see screenshot below)

react native developers would probably be interested in what integer "idiom" is set to for you - setting a breakpoint in front of the switch and running the project should show you the state of "idiom" in the locals.

hi
Same issue to me. But after I upgrade to Xcode 8.2., everything is OK

[zhoulinxiang]

@muellermichel same error in xcode7,https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/11508

[lacker]

Is anyone seeing this problem on Xcode 8.2 or does this problem only exist with older Xcodes?

[zhoulinxiang]

@lacker Xcode 8.2 is fine,just in older Xcodes

[lacker]

OK so maybe the solution here is to make it clear that React Native requires a modern release of Xcode? (For some definition of modern)

[zhoulinxiang]

@lacker yeah

[kylebebak]

@lacker @zhoulinxiang

Thanks a lot guys, I suspected this was the case but didn't want to upgrade. I just installed Xcode 8.2 and the problem vanished

[lacker]

OK since it's pretty clear what the solution is I am going to close this issue.

[muellermichel]

@lacker IMO it's still at least an open documentation issue - AFAIK react native doesn't yet document a minimum supported XCode version.

[lacker]

Yeah, I am somewhat worried about that because I don't know how to keep it up to date. I suspect that Xcode versions older than Facebook uses will kind of randomly break at some point so the best advice is just to use a new one when you get weird Xcodey problems. But it doesn't seem useful to just tell people "use a real new Xcode".

[muellermichel]

How about just documenting whatever XCode version is being used internally at Facebook and say something "your experience may vary with other versions"? Then at least people don't have to wander in the dark and can keep their setup in sync with what's used internally.

[lacker]

The thing is that gets updated all the time and I don't have a great automated way to hook things into the RN docs about it.

[vincentaudebert]

I agree with mentioning what XCode version should be used with each version of react-native. Couldn't find the information anywhere while facing the bug on this issue. Updating my macOS + Xcode now...

[vampire2610]

same problem when i use space in folder name

[cjam]

Not sure if anyone is still having this problem, just ran into as I was trying to clean up my ios xcodeworkspace. After quite a bit of debugging, trial and error I ended up changing my workspace derrived data settings to be:

And in the Advanced...

which seems to have fixed things. I think where I went wrong was that I had changed the XCode application preference for the derrived data folders and it was messing things up. I still can't seem to build from xcode, however fixed my react-native cli build.

I have created one demo app in react native but facing issue
