I have the same error upgrading to 61.1 from an existing react-native (recent) application. Android running fine.

[AustP]

I was on 0.60.5 then went to 0.61.1. Then I ran into this issue and downgraded back to 0.60.6 and now it is working for me.

[giona69]

@AustP downgraded too and working too here 👍

[BrianBatchelder]

I am also seeing this problem, but need 0.61 for CocoaPods support. Is there any more information?

[BrianBatchelder]

I was able to fix this problem by adding the following podspecs:

• React-CoreModules
• ReactCommon/turbomodule/core
• FBLazyVector
• FBReactNativeSpec
• RCTRequired
• RCTTypeSafety

I used this commit for guidance.

[rkirkendall]

@BrianBatchelder currently working on this same issue. I've included all of those podspecs. Did you end up fixing it for RN 0.61, 0.61.1 or another version?

[kyoyadmoon]

@BrianBatchelder
I already added those podspecs in my Podfile but still ran into this issue.
Did I miss something?
I used upgrade-helper(https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.60.5&to=0.61.1) for guidance.

[kyoyadmoon]

I tried again without running react-native upgrade, just follow the upgrade-helper diff to update my project and the error is gone.

I'm using RN 0.61.2 with an existing iOS project.

[DeClercqS]

Getting the same error as OP on v0.61.2, when adding RN to an existing iOS project following the guide:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps

The Podfile required quite a few changes compared to the Podfile in the tutorial, I think the tutorial might be outdated. After getting around that problem, getting the same error OP mentioned:

[fatal][tid:main] Unhandled JS Exception: TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(...): 'PlatformConstants' could not be found. Verify that a module by this name is registered in the native binary.

[samirmagnates]

Getting same error and tried all above solution, but can't success...

i have the same issue. do you have any solution?

[Frakcool]

@bockc @zhonglaoban I searched on Finder for: RCTRequired and looked at the path for the podspec, then included it into the podfile. But I don't think that's the solution, as it shows up other errors, so I'm currently working on a new project (from scratch) and see if I can manage to get the result I want. If so, I'll let you know what I did.

[qyhongfan]

Use Upgrade helper to solue this issue https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.60.4&to=0.61.2

[bockc]

@qyhongfan I followed https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.10&to=0.61.2, I'm currently at my 5th try.
So this is definitely not gonna help anyone here as this issue could come from react-native itself as much as a dependency.
The thing is, compilation errors do not give enough informations for us to precisely know which dependancy could be causing the error, and we can't afford spending a week testing them out one by one.

[clamiax]

I solved all of my problems by doing the following (dirty way but only one who worked after hours of trying):

$ react-native init tmpapp
$ cp tmpapp/ios/Podfile myapp/ios/
$ rm myapp/ios/Podfile.lock
$ cd myapp/ios/ ; pod install ; cd .. # EDIT: not sure if this is needed
$ react-native run-ios

Hope this helps anyone.

[bockc]

I solved my problems by updating from 0.59.10 to 0.60.4 and then to 0.61.2.
Now my issue is that just like in 0.60, fetch returns a blob everytime...

It doesn't work for me. RN 0.61.4. Any updates here?

[netgfx]

still having this issue, tried everything said here but nothing. getting

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'RCTFatalException: Unhandled JS Exception: 
Invariant Violation: TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(...): 'DevSettings' could not be found.

on release scheme

[ahartzog]

@netgfx same error, I have an issue in the CodePush repo --> https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-code-push/issues/1704

At this point I've given up on CP in iOS and I'm just hoping this do their new re-write release sometime in the not too distant future.

[netgfx]

Finally after hours of struggle I was able to get it working, I manually run
react-native bundle --entry-file='index.js' --bundle-output='./ios/main.jsbundle' --dev=false --platform='ios' --assets-dest='./ios'
and add the /assets folder in XCode.
If you don't have a /Resources folder create one, the main.jsbundle will appear there after you run the script. If it doesn't appear, manually do add files... with XCode and add it.
Then do Archive from XCode for generic device.
Note: if you aren't using index.js as your main js file rename it in the script above.

This way I was able to get it working for release.

i got Unable to find a specification for `ReactCommon/turbomodule/core ..where you find turbomodule???

[aniruddhashevle]

Please do the Podspec changes in ios/Podfile : https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.60.6&to=0.61.4
