React-native: When new Xcode build system is used, Xcode build fails to download third-party dependencies

[mcclen]

Workaround (edit by @hramos)

You may work around this by manually installing third party dependencies into your project. The following steps are based on the workaround provided by @lyon007 in #14382.

1. rm -rf node_modules/ && yarn cache clean && yarn install and rm -rf ~/.rncache
2. cd node_modules/react-native/scripts
3. ./ios-install-third-party.sh
   If your network is slow, you can download the packages separately and move them to the rncache folder
   _1_. folly-2016.10.31.00
   _2_. double-conversion-1.1.5
   _3_. glog-0.3.5
   _4_. boost_1_63_0
4. cd <Your-Project-Folder>/node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.5
5. ../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh
6. Xcode Clean & Build

Description

First build request after yarn or npm install does not succeed due to apparent timing of download, extract, and compile actions. Subsequent builds succeed until node_modules removed and yarn or npm install run again.

Similar to this closed issue:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/18982

This is not a problem in the local development environment as the work around is to simply rerun the build command. However, with remote build environments (Buddybuild, App Center, etc) this becomes problematic.

Reproducible Demo

Follow these steps:

0 - configure environment as per react-native info above
1 - from shell - react-native init DoubleTrouble
2 - from shell - cd DoubleTrouble
3 - from shell - react-native run-ios

Here is the tail end of output I received:

Still having trouble with this - using the example app on BuddyBuild and cannot get past the third-party libraries (for example double conversion). Note this also happens locally, but in that case I have the option of running the command again and the build succeeds.

Here's a portion of the log from BB:

[thefaj]

Same issue here. Any update?

[mcclen]

None. Have to admit some confusion as the reproducible nature would seem to apply to everyone.

I have not had time to dig into it, I suspect that the caching and copying activities for these assets is performed asynchronously with the compile step. Perhaps some sort of synchronization between the activities has broken or doesn't exist.

[thefaj]

I'm giving up on trying to get Xcode 10 to work…third party dependencies (double-conversion…) cause build errors on BuddyBuild. This seems to be a recurring theme with these massively-dependent open source platforms. 😑

[wangshangming]

same issue in Xcode 10

[prcbass]

I'm also experiencing this. I have tried many of the posts with high upvotes on this issue (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/14382) and have still not reached a solution. Going to try re-install old XCode version and copy iOS 12 support files from beta.

EDIT: Downgrading fully resolved. Download both XCode 10 and XCode 9.4.1 from here (https://developer.apple.com/download/more/) and follow instructions here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51215836/ios-12-not-supported-by-xcode-9-4-could-not-locate-device-support-files)

[thefaj]

Ok, I think I have a temporary fix to get React Native to work with Xcode 10—change the shared project settings (or shared workspace settings if you're also using Cocoapods) to use the "Legacy Build System". File->Project/Workspace Settings->Build System: Legacy Build System.

It's (not really) surprising that Facebook hasn't fixed this in the months that have passed since WWDC18. Good luck, everyone.

EDIT: This issue didn’t always happen in Xcode on the Mac. It regularly failed when I pushed to a CI system like BuddyBuild.

FWIW, I just upgraded a rather complicated old React Native project to 0.57.0 and set it up using CocoaPods and everything builds fine with Xcode 10. See below for my environment details...

Curious. I followed Alex’s suggestion about changing the Workspace setting Build System to Legacy Build System and that worked for me. I’m now looking at my React Native Environment Info to compare with Paul’s for differences. The first I note is node and npm as well as I did not use CRNA.

I have create-react-native-app installed, but I did not use it for this project. I used react-native init to create the project and then manually migrated the source files from a much older version of RN.

I'm curious if you upgrade from 0.56.0 to 0.57.0, if that will solve your problem without the Legacy Build System workaround.

[mcclen]

I failed to note that between the initial report of the issue and now I have upgraded to 0.57.0 and that did not solve the problem. I’ve also upgrade node and npm and that has not resolved the issue either. So far for me it is the Legacy Build System setting that seems to fix the build issue. Makes sense as I had no problem with Xcode 9.4.1.

My question now is what is the difference between the two build systems and is the difference material?

[pedrouid]

I also tried to upgrade to react-native 0.57.0 but that didnt solve this issue. I ended up downgrading Xcode to 9.4.1 and installing the iOS 12 device support files that you can find on this repo:
https://github.com/Yatko/iOS-device-support-files

[mcclen]

The build failure I’m getting is related to the third-party libraries upon which react-native is dependent. As near as I can tell the build steps for these require the download via curl into a cache directory (~/.rncache ?), unpacking and copying into the RN projects’s node modules subdirectory for react-native and finally compilation.

It appears the “new” build system in Xcode does not have information to properly sequence the dependent steps, such that the compile step is attempted before the files are moved into node modules. On a local machine, on subsequent builds, this “race” condition does not occur again and the compilation succeeds as the “state” of the download, unpack and copy seems to be preserved. On remote build systems, the state of the download, unpack and copy are not preserved and the compilation fails every time.

Two questions I have: is there a material difference between the new and legacy build system (performance, parallelism, what ???) and where in the build configuration can the new build system be told how to properly sequence the build steps for these libraries?

[StevenWonder]

I ran into a similar problem using Jenkins and Xcode 10. Here is what I noticed

1. Download node modules
2. Run Xcode build. It downloads the third-party folder and runs compile in parallel resulting in a compile error
3. Run Xcode build a second time. Since third-party folder is already there Xcode build succeeds
4. Delete third-party folder
5. Run Xcode build. Same result as step 2
6. Run Xcode build again. Same result as step 3.

With this new information, I have a workaround. I run the node_modules/react-native/scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh script immediately after npm install on our build machine.

This way, the third party folder and all it's subfolders are downloaded and ready when we begin compiling the Xcode project which happens a few minutes later since we have to compile react-native bundle in between

[0ff]

We ran into the same problem and fixed it by adding this as a postinstall step to our package.json:

cd node_modules/react-native/React/..; exec ./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh

This will run the script in the _correct directory_ which will make it pass later in the build process.

[IljaDaderko]

Only viable solution that persists across ci builds seems to be using legacy build system

[mrfambo]

@hramos

Do you have any timeline when React native will be fully supporting xcode 10? Lots off issues are happening. Clients are just waiting for apps to be shipped and we are sitting fingers crossed to get updates :(

[hramos]

There's no single fix that will provide full support for Xcode 10. We are tracking all known issues so far in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573. For each of those, the community will need to provide a pull request with a fix. Ideally, we'd get PRs to fix all of these in time for the 0.58 release cut.

If you're blocked by Xcode 10 issues, the best course of action is to make sure the issue is logged in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573, followed by sending a PR to fix the issue.

[hramos]

My post tracking Xcode 10 related issues was created on June 5, the day of the WWDC 2018 Keynote: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573, by the way. That's still a year too late, as the new build system was introduced during WWDC 2017, but it's hardly a new issue in this tracker. As the developer tooling is updated every year, we depend on volunteers using the betas to surface any issues and fixes in time for the general release.

[geminiyellow]

use rhdeck/react-native-fix-xcode-10 and link libfishhook.a can make it working, but when i rebuild, crash again.

[willcrisis]

Workaround in OP worked for me but with some little adjustments in steps 2 and 3:

1. cd node_modules/react-native
2. ./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh

Oherwise, it would create the third-party folder inside scripts folder, not in react-native (which is the right one).

Also, I had to follow this to correctly link to libfishhook.a file in RCTWebSocket library.

And a final thing (couldn't verify this is required, maybe my dependencies were outdated) was running a pod install inside ios folder to update dependencies.

iOS Build Issues?

Try these:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

Also do this:

1. Close Xcode.
2. Open Terminal, go to your project's root folder and do:
   cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/

1. Then, run the configure script:
   ./configure

2. Fix reference to libfishhook.a in RCTWebSocket:
   https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19569#issuecomment-394869470

Still not working?
Try this: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/21168#issuecomment-422525950

Android problems?
Try these:

rm -rf android/.gradle
rm -rf android/build
rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-* && watchman watch-del-all && npm cache verify
rm -rf $TMPDIR/haste-map-react-native-packager-*

[lyon007]

In fact, you only need to make sure that there is a third-party folder in node_modules/react-native, and that there are four unpacked packages in thethird-party.

[SupriyaKalghatgi]

This worked for me

$ cd node_modules/react-native/scripts && ./ios-install-third-party.sh && cd ../../../

#21168 (comment)

This does fix it however it breaks my Android build. Now to update my app I first have to do fastlane android beta then execute these commands before I can do fastlane ios beta. If I don't, or if I try to do it in the reverse order (update iOS first and then Android) I get this error:

• What went wrong:
  Failed to capture snapshot of input files for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets' property '$1' during up-to-date check.
  > Could not list contents of '/Users/niels/james/app/node_modules/react-native/scripts/third-party/glog-0.3.5/test-driver'. Couldn't follow symbolic link.

Not an ideal solution. Needs to be fixed by RN developers.

[SupriyaKalghatgi]

@nbokmans true
But since i want my app on latest version of React Native, i am installing node_modules twice to build for iOS and Android with above hack

[zsaraf]

No matter what I do, I haven't been able to get Android to work. Constantly getting:

org.gradle.api.UncheckedIOException: Failed to capture snapshot of input files for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets' property '$1' during up-to-date check. Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Could not list contents of '/Users/.../.../.../.../third-party/glog-0.3.5/test-driver'. Couldn't follow symbolic link.

I have tried cleaning, rm -rf node_modules, running ios-install-third-party.sh. I even found the "missing" symbolic link to be test-driver so I edited autoconf and automake so that I could link it manually. Literally NOTHING is working. Anyone have any other ideas for me?

[chrisbianca]

@zsaraf I've been working around this by removing the symbolic link completely which at least gets the Android build working

Dropping my Xcode to Legacy Build did the trick for me. Both Android and iOS build fine.

[chaim1221]

Okay much to the chagrin of my team I convinced them that there were no breaking changes in 0.57 and bumped.

rm -rf node_modules
npm cache verify
npm install
rm -rf ~/.rncache
cd node_modules/react-native
./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh
cd -
cd node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.5

still results in

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/MyCool.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

[ujwal-setlur]

@chaim1221 did you try using the legacy build system in Xcode?

[chaim1221]

I'd say that would help but I'm trying to build outside of XCode.

[chaim1221]

here's what I get with that. I'm not 100% certain it's related, in fact I think this means it takes care of the CFBundleIdentifier issue.

[chaim1221]

Nevertheless it has no effect on trying to build from the command line. Running that script in the scripts directory remains the only way to make that work. I am considering adding a post-build step per 0ff.

[ujwal-setlur]

Running the postinstall script to unpack and configure the third party packages and using the new build system also works for me. In fact, I have switched to that workaround.

[chaim1221]

Yes. For both 0.56.1 and 0.57.1 that gets me around the error. I modified it a bit:

    "postinstall": "cd node_modules/react-native; exec ./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh; cd third-party/glog-0.3.4; exec ./configure; cd ../../../.."

Clearly, if you're using the Heinz 57 variety, you want the glog-0.3.5 directory.

[ujwal-setlur]

Yeah, unfortunately, this broke my build for a physical device since glog configure.h is now geared for x86 and not arm. There is yet another workaround for this, but it requires more monkey patching. I just decided to drop back to the legacy build system which works for both simulator and device through Xcode

[mmccartney]

I have a shell script that runs my build for me. I added this between the npm install and the react-native run-ios :

rn=node_modules/react-native
rn3rdParty=scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh
perl -pi -e 's/^SCRIPTDIR=.*$/SCRIPTDIR=\$(cd \$(dirname "\$0") && pwd)/' ./$rn/$rn3rdParty
(cd ./$rn && ./$rn3rdParty)

It's a workaround but works consistently for me. It's part of my PR but I think the real fix requires some special Xcode build changes.

Hope this helps!

OP: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19529#issuecomment-427217974

I wrote something a bit cleaner for my purposes and installed the fix within the node_modules/react-native package. Normally I would prefer not to modify a node_module directly, but under this circumsance I felt that it was worth it and allowed us to add a simple script in our yarn start script and we get a clean run from a fresh clone in multiple products.

[mathewmorris]

I also get this issue which started happening after running the solution in #21490, but instead of messing with Xcode or any third party packages, I'll run react-native run-ios again and it works fine.

So, repeating my steps (after removing node_modules folder):

• yarn install
• yarn run-ios = react-native run-ios --simulator \"iPhone XS\"
• _Get errors described in original issue_
• yarn run-ios = react-native run-ios --simulator \"iPhone XS\"
• APP RUNS!

So strange to me, but I have yet to figure out why this work for me.

[ujwal-setlur]

@mathewmorris, I think this was described as a workaround, if not here, at least somewhere else. Yes, running compile a second time works most of the time since the third party packages would have been downloaded and configured. The first run fails due to Xcode's new build system which I think parallizes things a lot and might not catch the third party packages in time. Reverting to the legacy build system also works.

[nbokmans]

@ujwal-setlur Changing back to legacy build system is not an option for people who rely on Fastlane or other automatic build tools which don't care about your XCode settings. It's not a solution.

[ujwal-setlur]

@nbokmans fair enough, but then none of workarounds suggested is a solution. Some work for some, others don't. This has to be fixed in the react-native build system.

[mathewmorris]

@ujwal-setlur Agreed. Just need to let FB take care of it. Expected with all the new things coming out right now.

[ryankask]

The original issue mentions a command failing when accessing the app's Info.plist. In the new build system, if you need to access Info.plist in a build script, it must be listed as an input dependency.

I have a script that modifies the app's plist and I had to add Info.plist file as an "input file" for the script's build phase so it would run in the right order (see https://openradar.appspot.com/44422906 for more details):

I'm still getting errors like "Build input file cannot be found: '/.../myapp/node_modules/react-native/third-party/double-conversion-1.1.6/src/strtod.cc'" but I wonder if something similar is required.

[vitorreis]

We have the same problem here, and doesn't seems to be related with the version of the Xcode, because it's failing also in a machine with 9.2

Tested in a Mac with High Sierra
Xcode: 10.0 10A255

And also tested in a Mac with Sierra
Xcode: Version 9.2 (9C40b)

When I run the iOS app I get

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **


Installing build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/myapp.app
An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2):
Failed to install the requested application

Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/myapp.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist

[chaim1221]

My workaround was working until Friday. No idea what happened but it's not working anymore.

The "manual" workaround isn't working either.

This is a major show stopper for our team.

[chaim1221]

There are additional solutions here (apparently this has been cropping up for awhile); one is xcode-related, one is workspace-related. There also seems to be some confusion about where info.plist should land, but I checked info.plist and it _does_ reference CFBundleIdentifier, and the build works sometimes, so I think the error message is just misleading.

works _with_ workaround (described multiple times above):

repo (master ✔) ᐅ xcodebuild -version 
Xcode 10.0
Build version 10A255

and

    "react": "^16.5.2",
    "react-native": "^0.56.1"

react-native-cli: 2.0.1

and Simulator set to iPhone 8, iOS 12.

What wasn't working (until the second I almost pressed "Comment", then a build worked):

Xcode 10.0.x, on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) on app.bitrise.io

Here's what's installed:

https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise.io/blob/master/system_reports/osx-xcode-10.0.x.log

This is so weird.

It's working again, and all I did was put things back the way they were when it was failing.

[ericflo]

I was able to use the workaround suggested by @NNaidoo, however replacing the "./configure" part with the following:

../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh

[fastcodecoq]

What did the trick for me, close Xcode and then:

$ rm -rf node_modules
$ yarn install
$ cd node_modules/react_native/scripts
$ ./ios-install-third-party.sh
$ cd /third-party/glog*
$ sudo ./configure

[eddroid]

For those using automatic/command-line build tools (i.e. fastlane, ci), attach to -UseModernBuildSystem=NO or -UseModernBuildSystem=N to the xcodebuild command to switch to the Legacy Build System.

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/20492#issuecomment-423181560

[vitorreis]

Update, what solved for us was:

1. @NNaidoo workaround
2. Remove the library https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen from the ios project.
3. Ensure the build configuration in the scheme
   

[Ashoat]

Here is what worked for me:

$ cd node_modules/react-native
$ scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh
$ cd third-party/glog-0.3.5/
$ ../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh

[fiznool]

For anyone else struggling with this issue, I've written a script and posted it to a gist which makes this a one-line fix:

curl -L https://git.io/fix-rn-xcode10 | bash

I run this after npm install to fix up the third party folder automatically.

[werkdruk]

Xcode 10.0.x, on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

I had the same issue like this: Command failed: /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print:CFBundleIdentifier build/Build/Products/Release-iphonesimulator/MyCool.app/Info.plist
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleIdentifier", Does Not Exist....

I found a quick and very simple solution for myself, hope it will help others!

Try this:

react-native init projectname
cd projectname
react-native start (this does the trick, leave this running in terminal)
...then, in a new terminal: cd projectname
react-native run-ios

It will take a while, don't do ctrl-c, the project will build!

:-)

[geminiyellow]

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/20774#issuecomment-430659700 not work for me.

[NNaidoo]

../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh

so funny story as I kept upgrade react-native-cli and trying to stay up to date. I did indeed need to switch back to this script instead of .configure and everything worked on my Travis-ci matrix build just fine. Im on the road right now, but im going to post back my full project info for you guys, which I think is the best latest to work against at the moment.

This setup works with two steps flawlessly. You guys will appreciate my package.json setup, just get me a chance to share it!

clone
yarn start

[fiznool]

@geminiyellow the original script I posted only worked for RN 0.57, I've updated it now and it should work with other (older) versions too, for example 0.55.4 which is used by the create-react-native-web-app generator.

curl -L https://git.io/fix-rn-xcode10 | bash

[vitorreis]

Update, I had added this cd node_modules/react-native && scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh && cd third-party && cd glog-0.3.4 && ./configure && cd ../../../../ workaround to my postinstall.

That worked fine until I attempted to build in Release mode, this commands breaks something in third-part library build related.

This discussion helped me https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19839#issuecomment-422381866

[b-asaf]

Any updates?
Is this going to be fixed soon?

[mmccartney]

I just checked and although my fix has been merged into the master branch, it has not been released. There was a release 0.57.4 about 12 days ago but it contains older scripts. I'm trying to figure out the release process. CONTRIBUTING says I just need to patch master and then it gets moved into FB's internal repository. How do things go from master to release? Do I need to submit a PR against 0.57-stable also?

[hramos]

The release process is coordinated in the https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases repository. https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/issues/54 looks like a good issue to discuss adding this to a 0.57.5 release.

[hramos]

Looks like @kelset is on top of it - he mentions he'll try to include @mmccartney's fix in 0.57.5:
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases/issues/54#issuecomment-436273232

[geminiyellow]

good news

[NicholasBertazzonAga]

@hramos , still getting Xcode 10 errors on react-native 0.57.5

[IljaDaderko]

Similar to @NichAga , seeing same issues as before (after removing node modules, cleaning cached and reinstalling everything with latest versions)

[kelset]

My understanding is that the fix will only work for new projects - for existing projects probably the only ways are:

1) re-apply the workaround described in the first comment
2) manually apply the PR to your project - I use Pods on my projects so I was never actually affected, so can't really test this road. Potentially using the git-upgrade command may do it for this. But I don't know tbh 😔

Can anyone try and comment here?

[IljaDaderko]

@kelset I will try to apply PR manually in a bit. Also wanted to ask, do you have example / reference to somewhere that shows how to use react as a pod? Sounds like it is more stable / easier way to implement it.

[iainbeeston]

It worked for me on an existing project without the workaround, when upgrading from an earlier version of react native. I had other issues (with jest and flow), but these weren't to do with the build.

[fiznool]

Try running the script as described above. I've had success with new and old versions of RN.

[kelset]

@IljaDaderko there are a few articles out there, but it seems that they are a bit outdated: probably we should have a section in the docs for integrating:

• https://shift.infinite.red/beginner-s-guide-to-using-cocoapods-with-react-native-46cb4d372995
• https://medium.com/golee-engineering/my-experience-of-integration-between-react-native-and-ios-f1b9848f292a
• https://medium.com/@Baconbrix/using-cocoapods-in-ios-12-e4dc95a11b15

[IljaDaderko]

@kelset Thank you for the links, so I assume what you meant is that you use React Native through pods like documented here: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps

And you don't experience any issues with third party scripts? I am refactoring to use pods right now, to check if it solves issues on my end, is this piece of documentation up to date?

[kelset]

Yeah the docs should be up to date :) If not, can you open an issue on the website repo so that we can work it out?

[IljaDaderko]

@kelset refactored to use CocoaPods, everything is working 👌 with new build. I think I actually prefer this way of using react native.

I got few follow up questions for you if you have a minute?

1. I removed react related content in XCode from "Libraries" folder, and Build Phases. I edited my schema to use React from pods. Everything is working fine, but any chance I missed something else here?

2. Previously when I built through XCode, it auto started react native cli which was handy, with pods it doesn't. Is there a way to add cli start script to XCode somehow?

[mmccartney]

@NichAga @IljaDaderko Did you try deleting third-party (as in rm -rf node_modules/react-native/third-party) and then performing the build?

[IljaDaderko]

@mmccartney But that would be a temporary solution until package is re-installed right? I tried completely fresh setup with old node_modules deleted prior and it was failing :/ until I switched to CocoaPods approach.

[mmccartney]

You are right, @IljaDaderko. I'm having trouble reproducing the failure consistently but I do believe there is a problem with existing projects. I have a feeling that the following commands will eliminate the problem but I can't be sure at this time:

rm -rf ios/{YourProjectName}.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace
rm -rf ios/build

[b-asaf]

This what works for me, I have 2 versions of XCode on my MAC (XCode 9.4.1 & XCode 10.1):

1. Open XCode 9.4.1 and clean the build
2. yarn cache clean
3. yarn install
4. Build project on XCode (with General iOS Device)
5. Close XCode 9.4.1 and Open XCode 10.1
6. Build the project with XCode 10.1
7. Sometime the build fails, because of libfishhook.a issues.
   7.1 I remove and add libfishhook.a which is located in RCTWebSocket.xcodeproj

It works for me always.

One point to mention, when I am adding a new package (yarn add [packgeName]) the entire process should start over. I prefer to install it when I am using XCode 9.4.1.

[aniciom]

Seems to be an issue with XCode 10.1

Delete the folder project
Reinstall it, react-native init rnapp
Open ios project file
Go to file -> project settings -> in build system choose Legacy Build System
Go to console react-native run-ios

That did the trick for me

[hammadj]

For me, running pod install inside ios folder is what fixed it

[samgos]

Deleting the node_modules/react-native/third-party folder worked for me 🎉

[abumostafa]

Workaround in OP worked for me but with some little adjustments in steps 2 and 3:

1. cd node_modules/react-native
2. ./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh

Oherwise, it would create the third-party folder inside scripts folder, not in react-native (which is the right one).

Also, I had to follow this to correctly link to libfishhook.a file in RCTWebSocket library.

And a final thing (couldn't verify this is required, maybe my dependencies were outdated) was running a pod install inside ios folder to update dependencies.

saved my day. RN 0.57.7, xcode 10.1

[CruelMoney]

Is this expexted to happen on a newly initialized project when using xcode 10.1?

[ujwal-setlur]

Hmm, with RN-0.57.7 and Xcode 10.1 using the NEW build system, everything just works. I don't need any workarounds. I did have this problem before, so somewhere something got fixed.

[laurent22]

For me the solution was to delete all cache, build and lock files:

rm package-lock.json && rm -rf ios/build/ && rm -rf node_modules/ && npm install && react-native run-ios

Then the first call to react-native run-ios fails, but by running it a second time it works.

[adiahuja07]

I have done everything mentioned above but to no success. Is the new build system still not supported in 0.57.5?

[jsina]

this workaround worked for me
1- cd ios
2- pod install

[opiruyan]

@adiahuja07

I have done everything mentioned above but to no success. Is the new build system still not supported in 0.57.5?

Do you have both third-party/and third-party-podspecs/ in node_modules/react-native/?

[DZuz14]

This almost gave me an aneurysm. @laurent22 solution actually worked for me, first time though. I was using Yarn, but same thing pretty much:

• rm yarn.lock && rm -rf ios/build/ && rm -rf node_modules/ && yarn install && react-native run-ios

Might be worthwhile just checking to see if most of that is unnecessary. Maybe just deleting the ios/build folder would fix it. Not sure though.

[codecog]

Deleted my repo and cloned a fresh copy. Installed dependencies with yarn and the third-party errors appeared when trying to archive.

Deleted my repo and cloned a fresh copy. Installed dependencies with npm install and the third-party errors did not appear when trying to archive.

I believe there could be something with yarn not installing all the necessary dependencies either in the right order, or not running everything it needs to which then leads to this issue.

I'm also using the legacy build option as i'm running an older version of React Native so i'm not sure if that also matters. ^0.55.4 to be exact.

[hramos]

@joshuakelly 0.55.4 was cut before the Xcode 10 beta became available, and lacks some of the updates we've made related to this issue.

[prashen]

The new version is working in both platform ios and android. Please check the version I have
in my project react native 0.57.8.

But it breaking in old react-native version (for my case 0.54.4).
I am facing build issue of third-party and some double conversion errors and it's breaking the project.

When specific version downloading with react-native init projectname --version 0.54.4 its breaking in xcode build and giving double conversion and all thirdparty error after fixing all those it's giving error in cxxreact so basically I have wasted three working days with it and fade up with it.

Client is waiting for the update and it's being very difficult for us to always maintain the deadlines with
react native. It's need to be stable in some point.

Giving a example that when react-native working with it's new update but some thirdparty dependencies gives error and we can't blame react-native team for the thirdparty library errors.

But Why not react native includes some basic feature within it's library and not dependent on others.
Like: react-native-image-picker, vectoricons, navigation, drawer, device info, image zooming, maps, video players, file access system. It will be good to see react-native just like full bootstrap with UI and functionality.

I am using it from when 2015 and faced many update breaks everytime. In future, I am planing to upload own apps build in RN with many cool things but if it's not stable at the point it's tough to manage all the projects.

[hramos]

Including navigation, maps, and video players in the core library is a non-goal. We're working on slimming down the core library in order to increase stability. See https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/issues/6.

[prashen]

I understand your point @hramos. But sometimes when we introduce projects with clients and their requirements, we always cross our fingers with React-native that we told the client that yes we can make a video player with these above features or we can make a push notification type apps. But when we are going to build the app, then only we know the fact that we are fully dependent on third-party libraries. And at that time we can't deliver the app in correct time.

Even just because we can't be sure about that with RN what's the limitations in some areas, we lose a project and it goes to native development.

If we can't take projects then we can't make RN useful.

[hramos]

This appears to be solved in 0.57.8, based on comments in the thread and lack of activity since that version was released.

If I am wrong, let me know and I can re-open.

[ngandhy]

@hramos - still getting it on 0.57.8, tried switching to legacy build and works fine.

[hramos]

@ngandhy are you getting the same error described in this thread, or some different issue?

[Ashoat]

I'm still seeing issues with XCode 10's new build system on [email protected], the latest. I get build errors regarding third-party when trying to react-native run-ios.

The workaround where you can manually pre-compile glog doesn't seem to work anymore. I get the error "Call to unavailable function 'system': not available on iOS" when trying to compile glog, even after using the ios-configure-glog.sh script.

For me, disabling the new build system in favor of the legacy system still works as a workaround.

[levani]

@hramos I think this issue should be updated here as well https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573

[abaart]

I encountered a lot of problems surrounding this issue after upgrading my react-native to the latest version.
In the end for me the issue was solved by fixing the path of glogs in the ios-install-third-party.sh script to: "\"../../$SCRIPTDIR/ios-configure-glog.sh\""

In the original file the path is "\"$SCRIPTDIR/ios-configure-glog.sh\"", causing an error during running of the script, and later also errors of 'glog/logging.h' file not found later on; Presumably because the files are not findable by the other third-party libraries, as those are installed without the glog configuration script having ran.

So after running npm/yarn, change the ios-install-third-party.sh script, then run it while in the node_modules/react-native directory. Xcode is on the new build system, changing it did not do anything for me so I left it on the new.

Hope this helps others, I spent quite some hours working my way through this. If someone has any idea of what the underlying issue might be, please inform us all. I encountered this problem while upgrading my project from an older react-native version, so that may be the cause somehow, at least in my case.

[pepibumur]

We are running into similar issues. We set up a project with React Native 0.57.7 on CI and everything works when we don't cache the Yarn dependencies. The problem comes when we enable the Yarn dependencies caching. We get the aforementioned issue with the config.h.

I've tried running the the following script in a post install Yarn script:

cd ./node_modules/react-native && scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh && cd third-party && cd $(ls | grep 'glog' | awk '{print $1}') && ./configure

But I keep getting the same error. Who is running the ios-install-third-party.sh? Is it run when the dependencies are installed and nothing exists in the cache directory (.rncache)? If so, do you think caching the files in that directory would help?

[mohshbool]

I had the same problem, I solved it by doing what @abaart suggested. Though after that, I got an error regarding React/RCTBridgeModule. Any ideas?

[dale-french]

I have the same issue running a build on Bitrise. Any ideas?

[andrewmarmion]

@dale-french In bitrise I have a bash script that uses the code that fiznool created in his gist.

I run it after installing all node_modules but before building the archive.

[hari7priya]

I got this error while archiving. Did everything mentioned... but nothing worked. The error was at signalhandler.cc > GetPC method.

replaced return (void*)context->PC_FROM_UCONTEXT;
with return NULL;

I'm having trouble with this as well. Trying to follow the last step of the top post's workaround instructions fails for me:

OMG! I found the solution:

Fix issue with gawk depending on a bad readline.
It causes

Hello @hiepnm 👋!

By using the repro / the list of steps to reproduce, we can't actually see the reported bug on RN 0.59 so we'll close this issue. It may have something to do with your local setup, please double check that you are using the correct version of Android Studio / XCode / Android NDK / Yarn / etc.

Reference issue for XC10 support https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/19573

I'm having this issue on RN 0.59.1. This happens after running react-native run-ios from a freshly initialized project.

It appears that the scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh script is failing on MacOS.

The version of shasum is 6.01 and seems to be missing an option for the p flag.

So I removed the -p from if shasum -p "$cachedir/$file" | on line 35 of scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh. Then I ran the script again.

I ran into the problem.

./scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh: line 64: ./scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh: No such file or directory

This is due to ios-configure-glog.sh being ran in the wrong directory. So I went into third-party/glog-0.3.5 and ran ../../scripts/ios-configure-glog.sh.

After all this, I was finally able to build and run the project in xcode.

[kzh]

OK, this seems to be solved in #24036.

I'm still encountering this issue as of 0.59.3 after following the React Native CLI getting started on macOS and iOS latest version of Xcode

[drbarto]

My very whacky workaround (maybe it helps someone else): when I build the app from scratch in Xcode 10 using react-native 0.59.3, I get the mentioned errors; however, when I first build it in Xcode 9 (9.4.1 to be precise) and _then_ (without clearing the project of course) build it again in Xcode 10.1 it works. Apparently Xcode 9 generates some build artefacts that are reused by Xcode 10. I don't see this as a "solution" of course, it just keeps my project alive 🤕

[RN 0.59.4 / Xcode 10.2]
I am using cocoapods.
If I use legacy build system, Xcode builds target 'React' first and other library Later. Build is success.
But if i use new build system, Xcode builds third-party-library first instead of 'React'.
Build error message is 'React/RCT~Module.h' file not found in library's .m file....

And If i use Xcode 10.1, Using new build system is fine. Build is success....
How can i set build target Order?

[MaheshNandam]

RN 0.57.7 and XCode 10.2

1. if I'm trying to run the app into 12.2 version simulators or devices, then app got crashed with
   Thread 1: signal SIGABRT

   ISSUE LINE -> 0x102eda2f8<+8>: b.lo 0x102eda310 ; <+32>

2. if I'm trying to run into 12.1 version simulators or devices, it works fine.

3. With this (RN 0.57.1 and XCode 10.2) configuration, if I generate IPA, it's only working in 12.1 devices and when it comes to 12.2 devices, app getting the crash on the launch screen with Thread 1: signal SIGABRT.

Any suggestions or workarounds to solve this issue?

Thanks for that savior.

[pvinis]

I don't think anything below 0.59.2 works with Xcode 10.2, bacause of some changes with the load methods.

[oferRounds]

@0ff thank you! could you explain how to apply your solution please? not sure what to do

[jamesone]

Is the new xcode build system supported on RN 0.59+? Im using xcode 10.2 and have tried using the new build system but it errors saying there is an issue with my carthage libs.

[ujwal-setlur]

It works just fine for me, but I don't use any Carthage libraries...

I am facing a little different issue

when i run ./ios-install-third-party.sh
Unpacking /Users/shayana/Library/Caches/com.facebook.ReactNativeBuild/glog-0.3.5.tar.gz...
./ios-install-third-party.sh: line 66: ./ios-configure-glog.sh: No such file or directory

Unpacking /Users/shayana/Library/Caches/com.facebook.ReactNativeBuild/boost_1_63_0.tar.gz...

Still I ran cd /node_modules/react-native/scripts/third-party/glog-0.3.5 instead of cd /node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.5

But still same issue.

[Ebeldev]

I do have the same problem.
I'm on a Mac 10.14
XCode 11.0
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.60.5

Can't build after basic init from react-native init mytestingapp.

[Ebeldev]

It finally worked.

What I did is use npx react-native init awesomeproject. And I was able to build the project.

[robertmylne]

I had to remove the node_modules folder and then run npm install again to get mine working. I tried everything but it didn't work.

[Khushboo-gupta-123]

when i run my project on terminal for react-native i faced this issuue. is there any solution?
