React-native: [iOS Xcode] React-Native build failed in Xcode with library not found in RN 0.60.5

[M1seRy]

Steps To Reproduce

Using react-native run-ios is successfully, when I use Xcode to build and run the project, produce this error:

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. run react-native run-iosand react-native run-android was both successfully.
   2.but use Xcode build button failed.

any suggestion or solution ？

error:library not found for -lDoubleConversion

Seek help as well.

[JslinSir]

any suggestion or solution ？

both react-native run-ios and in xcode the same error

[JslinSir]

any suggestion or solution ？

Do the below steps

go to ios/
run 'pod install' or 'pod update'
open ios/newproject.xcworkspace

[sunweiyang]

I have no idea if this would help, but sometimes for my own app, attempting to build in Xcode multiple times in a row may result in a successful build. For example, I would try building ~5 times (each with a different 'file not found' error), and on the 6th time the build would succeed.

[bruno-trindade]

Same thing here – on both Xcode and react-native run-ios. None of these suggestions have helped. This is a project that is being upgraded from RN 0.59 to 0.60.5.

[denforlatte]

This may not help everyone but regarding the -IDoubleConversion library specifically, I noticed that my copy was incorrect so it might be worth checking.

I used this copy instead to get past the missing -IDoubleConversion: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec

[M1seRy]

Hi guys, in fact, I don't know the real cause of this problem and how to fixed this issue.but

I JUST UPDATE MY Xcode VERSION FROM 10.0 (10A255) TO 10.3 (10G8), REOPEN AND REBUILD

IT WORKS . 😢

[the-habu]

Having the a similar problem with my midsized project after upgrading to 0.60.5. It actually fails at finding CocoaLumberjack, but I expect this to be the case because of dependency and sorting. I am not 100% sure, but release builds seem to be rather the problem than debug builds?!

I use AppCenter as my CI. I created this minimalist project (just react-native init) which also fails building there (this one actually fails at finding DoubleConversion).
Bitbucket Repo

I currently expect a problem with the generated .xcworkspace file, but that's a part I didn't dig into yet.

Here are the logs of the minimalist iOS build that fails.

[giniedp]

same Problem
Upgraded to react-native 0.60.5
XCode Version 10.3

[bruno-trindade]

It appears we got through our issue upgrading from 0.59 to 0.60. Maybe this will be helpful to you:

Many of the libraries we were linking to in the "Link Binary with Libraries" build step in Xcode were now present in Cocoapods. By removing all of the libraries from that build step except for libPods-Qeepsake, we were able to get past the DoubleConversion error and the build now works.

[idkraf]

same here.
react-native Version 0.61.4
XCode Version 11.1

[giniedp]

if i recall correctly, the fix for me was the following change in the Fastfile

platform :ios do
  xcodeproj = './ios/MyApp.xcodeproj'
+ xcworkspace = './ios/MyApp.xcworkspace'

  ...

  desc 'Build the iOS app'
  lane :build do
    certificates
-   gym(scheme: 'MyApp', project: xcodeproj)
+   gym(scheme: 'MyApp', workspace: xcworkspace)
  end

  ...

[EYYCHEEV]

I had the same problem when I tried to run the app on my iPhone.
I used CocoaPods as a workaround.
I followed the suggestions on Stackoverflow

My environment:
react-native: 0.61
Xcode: 11.2.1

My steps to fix the issue:

1. $ cd ios
2. open YourProject.xcworkspace instead of YourProject.xcodeproj with Xcode
3. Build and run the selected target

Voila, it works for me. Hope this helps. 🤞🏼

[rahulbhankar786]

thanks @EugeneYiminYan
this is perfect answer you can close this issue now

[M1seRy]

@rahulbhankar786 closed : )

[Jaroswaldo]

@rahulbhankar786 Well, it definitelly is not perfect answer. I saw in discussion people, who did not resolve issue by opening "xcworkspace" instead of "xcodeproj". I for instance am allways openning "workspace" file.

[MrAlekhin]

thats definitely not the perfect answer. @M1seRy did you read @EugeneYiminYan suggestion? more "perfect" would be "try to reopen xcode"

After much frustration, this 'fix' worked for me:
Delete the [YourApp]Tests target.
I don't _think_ that be needed by most developers anyways.

same issue for fastlane. updated react-native to 0.61.5 but it doesn't help
code of failing lane

lane :staging do
    app_identifier = CredentialsManager::AppfileConfig.try_fetch_value(:app_identifier)

    cocoapods(
      podfile: "ios/"
    )
    download_certificates(
      app_identifier: app_identifier,
      skip_development: true
    )
    get_push_certificate(app_identifier: app_identifier)
    version_bump(
      bump_type: "major"
    )
    build_app(workspace: "ios/project.xcworkspace", scheme: "project")
    upload_to_testflight(
      app_identifier: app_identifier,
    )
    clear_derived_data
    clean_build_artifacts
  end

fastlane version 2.142.0

Thank's @celwell! This fix worked for me too.

[anmlkh]

I put 10th version of iOS everywhere where it was 9 or 11 (actually fastfile had 11) and now it works. So maybe it's just versions conflict

[hroland]

I had the same issue, I updated my podfile with platform :ios, '11.0', but I forgot to set the target iOS version from 9 to 11 🙃

[merielleimpreso]

Usually running pod install solves the problem on my side. Make sure to clean your build folder too: Product > Clean Build Folder before running or archiving your app.

[KiGi]

Same problem here as described originally, for us we get this issue when trying to do an archive (release) build only - builds work fine for simulator and device in debug.

I am running in a workspace, and tried deleting all targets except for the main one.

Quitting and resuming Xcode does nothing.

Deleting derived data, reinstalling cocopods, redoing pod install after deleting the Pods directory and Podfile.lock does nothing.

Any ideas? The repo we are trying to get a successful archive build for is in this directory of our repo:

https://github.com/namiml/react-native-nami-sdk/tree/master/examples/Basic

[tusharmutreja200]

Hey guys, Any update for this issue, I am also facing this issue after upgrading from 0.57.8 to 0.62.
Any help will be really appreciated

[aesthytik]

I changed the build to new build system from legacy.

it worked 🤩👌🏻

Hey all! Closing this issue as it is an old version of RN. If this occurs with the latest version feel free to open a new issue.
