Same here. It's not related to BVLinearGradient, after deleting the dependency from the project it failed with Base64.

directory not found for option '-L-L/Users/ME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECT-cmusevsphwkwubcskyhaoktwmrir/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Base64'
ld: library not found for -lBase64

But if I go to the directory that's on the error message

ls /Users/ME/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/PROJECT-cmusevsphwkwubcskyhaoktwmrir/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Base64
libBase64.a

As you can see the library is there...

Things I've tried:

rm -rf node_modules
yarn install
cd ios && pod deintegrate && pod install

I faced the same issue and fixed it by open Xcode and change the Library Search Paths to

@hoanganhx86
I chage Library Search Paths but still not working.

[Mokto]

It solved the issue for me.

Thanks @hoanganhx86

I solved the issue by changing the build system from
File-> Workspace Settings -> Build System -> "New Build System"

[Rapig1915]

I am running on MacOS 10.14 Mojave.
Working with React Native 0.62.
Changing build system from Legacy to New worked for me.
Thanks for a Great article!

[ColtraneNadler]

Ilya, were you able to resolve this?

I am running into the same issue. Although- I had started with React native 0.62, and everything was working smoothly until I installed a new package, and then I got this error.

here is the solution guys.

[TheMrugraj]

Already have proper Library Search Path but, still the same issue.

[fabriziobertoglio1987]

follow the instructions at https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-linear-gradient

remove that library. My opinion is this issue should be closed.

1) You are not using latest react-native version
2) The issue is connected to an external library https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-linear-gradient
3) The issue is connected to the user troubleshooting his update process and belongs to stackoverflow
4) There is no reproducible example

Please close. Thanks

Already have proper Library Search Path but, still the same issue

have you checked in both target as well as in project

[jpriesten]

Thank you @hoanganhx86
It worked for me

I get something similar with Library not found for -lRNFirebase

I'm on RN 0.59.10 and this only starting failing when I upgraded rn-firebase from v5 to v6

Podfile:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project

platform :ios, '10.3'

target 'Mobile' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  rn_path = "../node_modules/react-native"

  # Pods for Mobile

  pod 'yoga', path: "#{rn_path}/ReactCommon/yoga"
  pod 'React', path: rn_path

  pod 'RNFBApp', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/app'
  pod 'RNFBDatabase', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/database'
  pod 'RNFBAuth', :path => '../node_modules/@react-native-firebase/auth'

  pod 'DoubleConversion', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/DoubleConversion.podspec'
  pod 'glog', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/glog.podspec'
  pod 'Folly', :podspec => "../node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/Folly.podspec"

  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name == "React"
        target.remove_from_project
      end
    end
  end
end

[trflagg]

For anyone here whose error string includes directory not found for option '-L-L/Users/.... (particularly notice the -L-L).

The solution is to move $(inherited) to the bottom of your Library Search Paths: https://github.com/react-native-community/upgrade-support/issues/36#issuecomment-611516268

The reason this is happening is because the inherited ends up blank, so the compile command is inserting an extra blank argument before the first actual link argument, so -L -L/Users/.... turns into -L-L/Users/... which fails.

[pulkitgulati]

I'm getting this error "Library not found for -lRNAdMobManager" for the iOS version in xcode after installing React Native Firebase @react-native-firebase/app and @react-native-firebase/admob in React Native 0.62.2. Can anyone help please?
It's working fine in Android.

[Biplovkumar]

I solved the issue by changing the build system from
File-> Workspace Settings -> Build System -> "New Build System"

I Used this and also removed .ttf files which has came from link vector icons in copy bundle resources tab.

Do you need help upgrading to a newer React Native version? Visit the Upgrade Support repository or use the upgrade helper to see the changes that need to be made to upgrade your app.

I faced the same issue and fixed it by open Xcode and change the Library Search Paths to

without the quote sign

This plus a Clean Build Folder worked for me. Thanks
