[shauntc]

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?

Yes

Environment

Environment:
OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
Node: 7.9.0
Yarn: 0.23.2
npm: 4.2.0
Watchman: 4.7.0
Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
Android Studio: 3.0 AI-171.4443003

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: ^16.2.0 => 16.2.0
react-native: ^0.53.0 => 0.53.0

Steps to Reproduce

1) Initialize a react-native project with react-native init
2) Initialize cocoapods and add "pod 'GVRSDK'" to the pod file, run pod install
3) open workspace, run project in xcode or via react-native run-ios

Expected Behavior

Run without linker error

Actual Behavior

Fails to link with the following error:

duplicate symbol __ZN3fLI9FLAGS_novE in:
 /test_proj/ios/Pods/GVRSDK/Libraries/libGVRSDK.a(vlog_is_on_8d2e7d29c7bb2e5dfa3670dcea4320a0.o)
    /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test_proj-btwdvvwnrjygbfeqvozqudjeesra/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libReact.a(vlog_is_on.o)
duplicate symbol __ZN3fLI7FLAGS_vE in:

    /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/test_proj-btwdvvwnrjygbfeqvozqudjeesra/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libReact.a(vlog_is_on.o)
ld: 2 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Our temporary fix for this is to remove it from the GVRSDK lib using this shell script:

#!/bin/bash

cd ./Pods/GVRSDK/Libraries/
lipo -info libGVRSDK.a

architectures="armv7 i386 x86_64 arm64"
for arch in $architectures
do
    echo Create thin archive libGVRSDK_$arch
    lipo -thin $arch libGVRSDK.a -output libGVRSDK_$arch
    chmod 777 libGVRSDK_$arch

    remove=""
    for object in $(ar -t libGVRSDK_$arch)
    do
        if [[ ${object} == vlog_is_on_* ]]
        then
            echo $object
            remove=$object
        fi
    done

    if [ $remove ]
    then
        echo removing $remove from $arch
        ar -dv libGVRSDK_$arch $remove
    else
        echo No symbol matching "vlog_is_on_*" found for $arch
    fi

done

echo Rebuild libGVRSDK.a
lipo -create libGVRSDK_armv7 libGVRSDK_i386 libGVRSDK_x86_64 libGVRSDK_arm64 -output libGVRSDK.a

for arch in $architectures
do
    rm libGVRSDK_$arch
    echo Delete thin archive libGVRSDK_$arch
done

cd ../../../

Adding this to the end of our podfile to run it after each time we run pod install:

# Hack to fix linker error between GVRSDK and React
post_install do |installer|
    system(". ./pod_post_install.sh")
end

(the script is saved in the same directory as the podfile as "pod_post_install.sh")

@shauntc thanks, it works for me.

[ttDemon]

I have followed the guide, but it generates this error when running.

[shauntc]

@ttDemon Need some more context here:
What versions of react/gvrsdk are you running?
What symbols were clashing before?
What does your post install script look like?

[ttDemon]

"react": "16.3.0-alpha.1",
"react-native": "0.54.3",

"GVRSDK": "1.140.0",

symbols were clashing before:

my post install script:

!/bin/bash

cd ./Pods/GVRSDK/Libraries/
lipo -info libGVRSDK.a

architectures="armv7 i386 x86_64 arm64"
for arch in $architectures
do
echo Create thin archive libGVRSDK_$arch
lipo -thin $arch libGVRSDK.a -output libGVRSDK_$arch
chmod 777 libGVRSDK_$arch

remove=""
for object in $(ar -t libGVRSDK_$arch)
do
    if [[ ${object} == vlog_is_on_* ]]
    then
        echo $object
        remove=$object
    fi
done

if [ $remove ]
then
    echo removing $remove from $arch
    ar -dv libGVRSDK_$arch $remove
else
    echo No symbol matching "vlog_is_on_*" found for $arch
fi

done

echo Rebuild libGVRSDK.a
lipo -create libGVRSDK_armv7 libGVRSDK_i386 libGVRSDK_x86_64 libGVRSDK_arm64 -output libGVRSDK.a

for arch in $architectures
do
rm libGVRSDK_$arch
echo Delete thin archive libGVRSDK_$arch
done

cd ../../../

@shauntc If I do not add post install script then I run release mod ok, but debug will report duplicate error as above image
