React-native: XCode Build works Archive fails

[oscarsales]

I'm developing an app with react native. I built it successfully in XCode and installed it in my iPhone. All correct, I've got the app installed and working fine in my device. Then I want to upload the app to the Store -> archive -> error!

Any module used in AppDelegate.m -> didFinishLaunchingWithOptions causes the error "use of undeclared identifier 'module'.

For example, I'm using Firebase, you need to insert these lines:
@import Firebase; // this is ok

(in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions) [FIRApp configure];
ERROR -> Use of undeclared identifier 'FIRApp'

Same with google Maps/Places:

@import GooglePlaces;
@import GoogleMaps; // this is ok
....
[GMSPlacesClient provideAPIKey:@"xxxxxxxxxxxxx"];
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"xxxxxxxxxx"];
ERROR -> use of undeclared identifier 'GMSPlacesClient' or 'GMSServices'

React Native version:

0.62.2, I always used this version, never upgraded.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a new project with react-native 0.62.2. Install any module that requires a change in the file appDelegate.m, for example Firebase, as explained in https://rnfirebase.io/, install pods, open XCode, build successfully. Then try to archive.

Expected Results

The archive should be built successfully.

Other comments

I have read a lot of possible solutions about Cocoapods. I doubt this is my problem, pod install was successfull, my modules are working fine. I have the app installed in my iPhone and firebase and google maps are working correctly. Build works.

My bad, I've noticed that @import for these modules was way below #if DEBUG, that's why it didn't work.

Thanks a lot, I don't know how I had missed this.

saved my life ! spent few hours about this...

in my case it was AppCenterReactNative:

Use of undeclared identifier 'AppCenterReactNative'

in case someone will search for the specific error as I did
